I'm debating whether or not I should take a gap year before starting the teaching course.

This is on the basis that I find a casual job with full time hours. I really wanted to do teaching but everyone around me is saying I shouldn't do it because of behaviour management, taking work home, and that I'm too much of a stresshead. I also have unmanaged ADHD, constantly submitting things late. When I'm a "bad student", I feel like I'll be a bad teacher.

I think I'll try the teaching course and then apply for OT if it doesn't fit.

I would say take a gap year if you're feeling a bit lost/overwhelmed because god knows it becomes much harder to do as you get older. And some of the people you meet/experiences you have may turn out to be pivotal to the rest of your life, even if you end up going in a different direction.

Last vintage vinyl, made in 1973, was Rudy Vallee radio shows with various great stars of the 1920s and 30s.

Gershwin interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEOQlyacEro

Huston singing September Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3mAT-4FdP4

Vallee was a truly disgusting person who was very charming once the microphone was on

he was much parodied by Fred Allen, Stan Frieberg and Hans Conried , who were radio and tv stars of the 50s and 60s . ( not the disgusting part, just the smarmy part )

It was wonderful hearing Bert Lahr do some of his vaudeville routine ( I couldn't find a copy anywhere ) , it was the same schtick he did as the Cowardly Lion years later on The Wizard of Oz. He was a very famous star and the audience at the time would have gotten all those old jokes he did. Us, we have no clue what he's doing, just that he was amusing and eccentric.

I have a big fat jaw-welding chunky peanut butter sammich and for some reason the cats INSIST i have something for them.

They've sniffed it and disregarded the sammich, but persist in demanding...something

Hmm, do I get laneway tickets tomorrow or not? Really not vibing with the lineup but it's always a fun day out and festivals are my home...

If I ever see an old vinyl from the soviet bloc I am sure to snap it up.

Today I was not disappointed. I got a 1968 Supraphon recording of Beethoven 1st and 8th symphonies from Czechoslovakia.

omg, it is awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19jqWhCv2o4
