Although I Look Like I'm Smiling


It's Monday which maybe explains everything.

1) My honors students can't follow simple directions, and their grade indicates this apathy and lack of attention.  Since some were whining (many... imagine), I gave them two options for class tomorrow.  A) They could make review memes which would not be graded.  B) They could use the hour to get caught up and finish assignments that would help with the summative.  I asked each student to email me one sentence stating their choice.  Most of the students (2/3) chose to make memes even though it would not help them improve their grade and would not help them with their final.  Really?!  Someone has to care more than me.

2) I'm not going to make 20 workouts at the YWCA in October.  I'm out of town a couple of weekends.  Plus, there are a couple nights of parent teacher conferences.  In reality, I had to go tonight to have a remote chance at 20.  Unfortunately, the gurgling in my stomach (and other unmentionables... TMI?) has me stuck at home.  I will admit if anyone could hear the rumbling, they'd be scared and a bit impressed.

3) In order to prepare for any questions about tomorrow's memes, I checked out a Chrome Book to take home.  There are slight differences in using the Fotor app with a Mac and Chrome Book.  It's a good plan to make it go smoothly in class.  Unfortunately, I chose a face shot.  As I was adding text, I realized the picture makes me look really old.  Then, I realized the picture makes me look really old because I'm really old!  Maybe I should be working with Photoshop instead of Fotor.

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.
