day oh wait i quit

maybe i'll keep up this blog, maybe i won't.

either way i decided to change the title, since i'm not in the peace corps anymore. i'd call it 'jess in americorps' but who knows, maybe i'll quit that the 5th day in too. today while i was washing maggie with the hose, i was listening to some carly simon. it's funny that no matter how many times you may hear a certain song, you may not actually hear it until a particular moment. i bet i've heard "you're so vain" at least 100 times, and today i realized how good this line is:

i had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee.

i've probably sung along with that line a bunch of times, but didn't even hear it until today. so then i decided to title this blog that. and then i googled it to get the exact lyrics and there are like 10 blogs with that name. that bothered me. i'll probably change it again soon.

so i got a job. it's a volunteer position through americorps (like peace corps but in america). it's for this nonprofit organization that gives the mentally and physically disabled opportunities to take classes in the arts. there are a ton of different classes they can take- drama, ceramics, music, etc. and i'll just hang out with everyone and help them learn social skills and do their classes with them. i'm hoping to teach them some of my dance moves. it's a year long program in tucson arizona, a place i know absolutely nothing about. jeslie told me that they filmed all of the HEY DUDE episodes there, which means that there is no way it can be terrible. maybe i can move into one of those cabins. i hope ted still lives there.

this whole house smells like wet dog. but at least maggie is cleaner. i gave her a haircut too. and left all the clumps of hair sitting in the garage. mom loves when i come back home.
