I'm always...

I'm always the first to force that awkward eye contact.
I'm always braver when you are in the room.
I'm always thinking of you in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

Is that alright with you?

Irresistible

I figure weird things happen to all of us...and I assume its mostly a good thing.

But when these weird things happen, should we ignore them?

It's a miracle!

It has happened. I have taught a child something and she retained it.

I've been working on figurative language for a few weeks now with several of my students. Many of them just don't understand idioms, similes, or metaphors. Much of them take everything they hear literally.

But today, one of my 7th grade students came up to me and told me of an idiom she heard another teacher use. She even explained to me what it meant and how she thought it became figurative language. This work does pay off...I guess I just need to keep going.

Its weird how sentimental I get about this. I mean I like my job. I don't mind coming to work, except for the whole having to wake up early thing. I just wish I was better at my job.

I lost my chapstick...again

My current reality:I lost my chapstick, I have to work the entire weekend, I have a pile of laundry the size of a small country, I am too afraid to admitt something to the person I care most about, and its 9am and all I can think about is the beer I'm going to be drinking tonight.


- "As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand."
I don't know who said this but it really made me think...

I mean, do we(as in the mass population) really prefer fantasy over reality??...there are many days when I could do without reality.

impatience

I can't wait to figure my life out.

People seem to think I am capable of more than I truly am.

Maybe I put on a good front; I hide my short comings well.
