Sad Face

Visual Poetry - ImageChef.com

Although I do love my job, sometimes I get frustrated. My latest frustration has come in the form of a practicum student. As a favor to a friend, I accepted two practicum students. One of the practicum students (LA) was helpful to quite helpful. She was pleasant and informed. After the first day I knew she would do well in a middle school classroom. She finished her hours on Friday, and I was sad to see her go. The other (CR) was the exact opposite. Of course she came in two days this week to finish her hours. I spent Monday and Tuesday following behind her and calling students out into the hall to alleviate the confusion she had brought to their writing. She also questioned me at least three times. My stress level will be lessened today by her absence.

My 26th post of the 2010 blog challenge is a self-absorbed piece of whining. The "new media" is from Imagechef.com. It's basically worthless, but I did attempt something new. Wow! Please excuse the whining. Seven more days of teaching before break and four more posts.

Actually, it might not be completely worthless. Maybe it's something I could use when I teach poetry.

I kind of like these. They have a bit of an "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" feel to them. But still.

Anyway, what's a personal blog if not a place for you to vent once in a while?

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
