Termite TV - Life Stories

You ready? Okay. My name’s Erin and I go to U.T. Umm, that’s the University of Tennessee and I’m from Chattanooga, which is only like an hour and a half away, and… Let’s see, I don’t remember like, when I was a little, little kid, for some reason, I don’t think anybody really does. And I have lot’s of fun stories from my sister and my best friend Nikki. And… I remember swimming as a kid, like, we did year round swimming. We swam summer and then winter, too. We’d eat dinner at 10 o’clock, and then go back to bed and go to school the next day and wake up and do it again. Pretty normal childhood, my parents are still together, that’s kind of rare, haha. It’s kind of nice, too. Went to junior high. That was an experience. First experience with drugs then. That was interesting. My friend taught me how to do some acid, never smoked weed or anything, and at school too, that was always fun. Haha. Got kicked out of there, went to about um, three different high schools. They didn’t like me at two of them. One of them liked me, so I graduated from there. Came to school, took a semester off before I came here. I lived with a girl who, she was manic depressive, that’s always interesting, too. She threatened to beat me up, haha, so I left, came to school. Um, I don’t know, I’ve gone through life unfazed. My best friend now is Julie, she’s been there since like 5th grade, trough everything with me. And, we just had a fight last week. Haha. But, it’s okay. We made up, so… I’m getting an art degree. I’m gonna, um, I have art as my minor. So, I’ve always liked like little kids and stuff, they’re like pure and fun, so, I’mm just gonna teach, but I don’t know if I really want to deal with that cause someone else was talking about violence in schools and stuff, that’s kind of scary that it could even happen in elementary, you know. It’s kind of weird. But um, I think they need to pay teachers more, honestly, but, cause they only pay them like 20 something thousand starting, which is not bad, you know, compared to minimum wage, but you go through school and, there’s a lot of extra work outside of that. I really don’t know what I’m gonna do. I plan on moving to Atlanta or something, that’s where my sister’s at., so. She and her husband. Just set up camp there and figure out what’s going on. That’s pretty much my life.
