Action and Adventure in August: Part 7

I've the action of recording my dreams in August. Recording my dreams, when I remember, has become interesting. Last night my dream was an adventure through the first day of school. First, even though the names for attendance were on the computer, they were handwritten. Also they were initials and not names. I had five minutes left of my first period class after attendance. My computer wouldn't do anything but the handwritten attendance, so I slammed it to the floor and noticed every student was on their phone. This latest edition of the smartphone was the size of a metal lunch box and did more than today's smartphones. I lost my crap and sent them all out. Second hour started similar, but my room had five different doors and students kept leaving and returning as they wanted. No one was listening to me, so I couldn't even get through attendance. As third hour started, I was a mess. Before students could even enter my room, I was running down the stairs crying asking to go home. It's going to be a great year!

Oh geez. That's how my dreams are. Basically, horrible. Maybe the dreams serve the purpose of letting us know that our jobs are never going to be quite that hideous.

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.
