What the Fuck is this Shit?!
I'm all for Stan Bush re-doing "The Touch" for the new Transformers movie, but honestly? What's this Linkin Park-esque bull shit? It sounds God awful! What the hell is with that rap? Give me the original with the lazers shooting out of the guitar and the totally awesome fist pumping sound!

Going to Texas from the 7th to the 11th. Doing some hiking/backpacking/camping from now until then. Taking a riding class on the 16th. Applying for subs positions as soon as I get my results on the 29th.
Just for you:

C-BEST
My advice to those of you with college degrees living in the state of California:
Take the C-BEST. It essentially gauges whether or not you're capable of reading. You don't need to have a degree to take the test, but you can't use it without one. The exam allows those with degrees to apply for substitute positions as well as teaching credential programs. I understand that the need for teachers at this moment in time is low (unless you're math or science-oriented) and many are being laid off and those who have already lost their jobs are the ones filling the subbing positions, but the test itself, for only four hours of your time and a small chunk of change (less than $100 if you register on time), opens up opportunities for employment later on down the line. And believe you me, that is by far the easiest test I have ever taken.
As stated earlier, it's whether or not you can read. The math section seldom dives into the field of algebra and only one basic question on elementary geometry (perimeter). It's comprised of a 50 question reading, 50 question writing and 2 writing prompts no more than 2 small pages of text each. They won't allow for any more writing. As my father said, it basically tests if you're smart enough to be around little kids. Hell, if you're dumb enough to fail the thing you don't even have to worry about it, you can take it as many times as you want!
If anyone out there is interested in taking the test or just want to look into it, here's the link. As soon as I get my results (19 days from now) I plan on applying to a few districts. In running into a former teacher of mine I found that schools that you attended previously would want you as a substitute simply for knowing the teachers there and being trustworthy (unless you weren't the trustworthy type). It may not be glamorous or stable, but I'm hoping it'll be something to help me save a little somethin' somethin' to get moseyin'.
Until later.
