tired and cranky

I am officially sick. I am also officially exhausted, but I have to go to school this morning so that I can take a reading quiz! I know, it's crap. I'm 21 years old, I'm pretty sure at this point I should be held responsible for whether or not I do the assigned reading for a class.

Besides that, this class is "Teaching Literacy." I'm an English teacher, I'm pretty sure I know how to make graphic organizers and find pertinent vocabulary words in a text. Activities such as reading a science article and finding science vocabulary are pointless to me and all the English majors in our class. We should be exempt from you, EDU416!

Also, I feel like I am going to throw up at any minute. I want to lay in my bed all day and watch movies and have soup, but my sense of educational responsibility is too great.

Anyhoo...I should be getting ready instead of writing on here.

PS: Just for the record, I agree with (e:paul)'s decision to create the TOS. It's sad that we need to cover our asses all the time, but it can't be helped. I also feel that my comments here might be unnecessary, since if the majority of us didn't agree with it, then none of us would have clicked "Y / Accept".

bye bye summer

I am enjoying my last ice cream of the season from Fowler's. :( I will miss begging RJ for 3 hours to walk with me down the street to get ice cream, but alas, the summer is over. If you have to wear pants and a sweater to get ice cream, then it is too cold. Plus they don't have summer hours any more. *sigh* Ben & Jerry's, here I come.

yumym food and good company

So, RJ and I went to Saigon CafÃ© for dinner tonight for the first time. My tummy is very happy and now I have lunch for tomorrow. I really loved it there, eating outside, and the food was excellent. We both ordered Pan Thai. I would definitely recommend.

The only bad thing about the evening was that I heard a woman say that she can't wait until they tear down the Atwater house. She was serious, too. :( Poor house. I feel bad for it.

I wanted to be at a high school...

Can anyone tell me anything about Kenmore Middle School? That's where I have been assigned for field placement for my Methods course for the semester. I'm kind of disappointed. Originally I was going to be assigned to Niagara High School, which I know as much about as I do about Kenmore, but at least it was a high school. My career goals do not realyl focus on middle school brats. Oh well. I'm sure I will learn from it.

yay!

(e:matthew) that platypus rocks! i think they are just so cute :-)
one time, when i was drunk (a few months ago) i made up a little song to the tune of "i'm a little teapot":
"i'm a little platypus
here's my bill
plat plat plat
plat plat plat"
oh yes, the drunken creativity that is forced out of me like mental diarrhea...

confined in the city walls

"We must never lose our sense of awe at the magnificence of our planet." - Anonymous

It's kind of hard to remember how beautiful nature can be when every day all I see is confined little trees surrounded by concrete and breathing in polluted air. It really gets to me after awhile. Isn't there any place I can go and lay in the grass, look up at the sky, and just see sky without power lines or buildings in the way? I miss the mountains. The early morning sunrise is lost in all the fumes here. Most of all, I miss spending time with the stars and the clear shining moon. Every once in awhile I catch a glimpse of a star, but it is so far away and I can never find it for very long through the cloud covered sky.

I have no peace here.

"Horizon rising up to meet the purple dawn
Dust demon screaming, bring an eagle to lead me on
For in my heart I carry such a heavy load
Here I am on Man's road, walking Man's road
I'm hungry, weary, but I cannot lay me down
The rain comes, dreary, but there's no shelter I have found
It will be a long time till I find my abode
Here I am on Man's road, walking Man's road
Moon rising, disguising lonely streets in gay displays
The stars fade, the night shade falls and makes the world afraid
It waits in silence for the sky to explode
Here I am on Man's road, walking Man's road"
America - Man's Road
