I am a quitter, it's about time.

Today I quit. Soccer. I was having a hard time getting there anyways, it is about 30 min. from ASU, where I have swim lessons and kayak club on tuesdays. Anyways, This team wasn't that fun to play with (my other team is better). Plus i hate it when there are too many girl subs and the girls won't come out (a complex i developed in jr. high).

Anyways, it feels good to quit. I seem to always quit the wrong things though. I quit basketball (i was really good, and have never met a woman with bigger hands) when all my ward friends got cut or quit, i just had to quit too (stupid). I also quit massage school because I joined a pyramid scam (aka multi-level marketing). I thought i would be rich and never have to rely on massage as an income. Years later, I even quit grad school. When 2006 and I were hot and heavy, we had a plan that I would go to University of Phoenix for Grad School, because he worked there (cheap tuition for the spouse of an employee). Shucks, I was all accepted at ASU for their English as a Second Language Teaching Masters. Yet, I believed 2006's plan for our future would get us through. He lost his job and we didn't happen....I hate that quitting story.I blame only myself.

On the flip side, I just can't seem to quit teaching junior high English, although it has got to be the hardest job on the planet. Everyday I deal with kids mid puberty, with all the notes, talking back, confidence or lack of, smells, identity finding, sexual humor, but like a moth to a flame I keep on going back. Blar. I want to quit things I don't need, and pick up things I do. Shucks, I also can't quit watching Law and Order, it is just soooo good.

On a happier note. I am glad I didn't quit kayaking(although i thought about it, AZ surely isn't the best paddling state), I finally got my role. So I think the point is, quitting is alright. Just quit the right stuff, and don't trust your University of Phoenix boyfriend to make all your educational dreams come true.
