Aww Shoot! I missed midnight by an hour! No blog tonight! Sorry!
hehe... I keed I keed...
Wow! What a busy semester! I found myself taking the weirdest array of classes this semester and, I have to say, I'm so glad it's finals week and they are almost over!
I started out this semester with a history class. Now, I tell ya, I pegged this teacher as the proud recipient of the biggest douche bag of the century award winner, but he actually turned out to be really cool! It's pretty shocking seeing as I've never been wrong about anything ;) He took us on the epic journey from American Indians all the way to the Reconstruction after the Civil War, and not once did I ever feel as though I was sitting through a boring history lecture. Oh course, his wild rants about what's wrong in the world today and his constant reassurance to the volley ball players in the class that no one actually died in history, made the class a riot to go to every day. Kudos!
The next class I fell into was a Children's Lit class. I was actually looking forward to this one! Pfft. Fool. I love kids' books. I love reading my kids books. But there's just something about taking a beloved classic story and ANALYZING it to DEATH that completely takes the fun out of stories. Every single class period he would say, "Come on class, don't make me work so hard to get an answer out of you!" Well, good gravy, it's 10 in the morning and you want us to talk about what some Russel guy has to say about the sexist annotation about Alice in Wonderland, or to form an inquisitive question regarding Fairy Tales in Germany in the 1600's?? Uh... ok.... sure... I'll get right on that......
*stares at my notebook... if I can't see him, he can't see me!* >.>
Another class this semester, which, has to be the WORST class ever that I've had to take, and most likely will have to take again, is Math for early educators. I know two plus two... I know how to teach two plus two... WHY in the sam HELL does an art teacher that wants to teach k-4 art need to know Pagarian theorems, story problem relationships or Euler lines?! GAH! And that teacher hated me. This is not a theory... she made her dislike QUITE known! Gawd, I loathe the idea of sitting through that crap for another semester!
Ah, my last class of the semester! Thank GOD for my fall back teacher! LOL! So my Intro to Ed teacher taught one other class this semester. Study Strategies. I totally didn't really need the class. It didn't count towards anything except an elective credit. But thank god I signed up for it! Staring at that teacher for an hour twice a week was like heaven on earth!! LOL ( kidding kidding... in case he's reading this... *ggls* ) But no really, it was a good class and I did learn a few things that will help me study better. And bonus! I met someone in that class that I've not seen since high school! She's going back also after a long break and though we didn't really hang out in hs, we struck up a nice friendship now. Funny how things work out :)
So that's been my semester in a quick little nutshell. I've got finals this week and then I'm taking the WHOLE SUMMER OFF!!! YEOW!!! I need it, I tell ya. I'm so looking forward to doing some traveling with my hunny, taking the kids to the park and the pool and kicking them outta the house to go play at a friends house when they get too rambunctious lol
And now... my rambling thoughts for this post...
wow... I can't think of a single thing to go on about. Well, that's weird.
hold on... I'll get back to ya in a minute...
OH!!! OH OH OH!!! I KNOW!!
So! I was reading this article the other day on... get this... nude yoga! FOR REALZ! Now, I'm not talkin' about a bunch of middle aged bored house wives needing a little adventure and shake up in their weekly get together... i mean... gym workouts. No. i'm talking about a bunch of fat, hairy, middle aged MEN that think that with everyone in the yoga studio being nakie that they are all in unison. "We all share the same uniform, the human skin" or some crap like that.
Pardon me a second, I think I just threw up a little in muh mouf...
It kinda reminded me of nude beaches. Have you ever been to one of those? No one hot ever hangs out (pardon the pun) at a nude beach.It's always older people, mostly men, that walk around with their undersized tally wackers hanging out and their hands on their hips like they have something to be proud of. I tell ya, there's just no justice in the world today!
Speaking of no justice, did you see that thing about the 89 yr old woman that tried to shoot a burglar in her home? Ok, so the dude was like kicking down her door in an attempted robbery, so this old lady runs (I can't imagine an 89 yr old woman running.. jus sayin)and grabs her .22 cal gun, aims and fires. She missed, but it scared him away. Bless that woman! Still, I got a chuckle out of the story...
Ok, that's my short little ramble for this post. I see I've gone from nude yoga to an 89 yr old shooter, so I think I better stop there. Yes, it amazes me the way my mind works at times too...
Love to all!!
