Sorry, I have been busy teaching

For the one or two of you out there that may stumble across my blog, it has been a while (nearly a month) since I last posted. Well, I have been a little busy lately with school and work. Did I say a little, I meant to say UNBELIEVABLY FUCKING BUSY! I am taking three classes (one online), commuting four nights a week in order to go to school, working nearly everyday of the week, all while trying to please everyone in my personal life. It is really hard! Because of this job, I will have to cut back on a class, or at least not commute so much. I will be grateful after next week when I am done for the semester at my college.

In any case, I have not given up on this blog. I have just been on a bit of an unannounced, unplanned, temporary hiatus. This teaching job I now have came out of no where, and I needed the money and experience. This job seemed perfect. But it has taken up so much of my time. Rather than a part-time gig keeping an eye on some kids (like I thought it would be), I spend roughly 30 hours a week teaching children science and leading them in several different activities. This is something that I have looked forward to for a while, but did not think would come so soon. This is my first real teaching job. So far, it has been a wonderful learning experience, but it is very time consuming. Free time and sleep are both things I do not get enough of. I was sick two weeks ago (and still had to work), and am wondering if I am getting sick again (I'll probably still have to work if I am). There are plenty of other issues I have about my job (which I may go into some other time), but generally though, I enjoy my work.


But getting back to the blog, I promise that in the next 2-3 weeks I will have the it back and going again. I will work harder to get out posts on a regular basis (my goal is at least every other day, if not everyday or multiple times a day). In addition, I will work harder to get my website to more people on the web. I want people all across the web to not only view the content of my blog, but to also interact with me (through email or commenting on posts). I don't want to just post; I also want to do my best to create a dialog between me and other web browsers. I want the (un)Reasonable Missourian to be a truly great blog on education, politics, culture, and a number of other areas of life.

If you are wondering what my blog is about, read a couple of my first posts here and here. The first post is a little bio about my self, while he second one is what I want the (un)Reasonable Missourian to be about.
