Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

It's currently 1:46 a.m. and I can't sleep. Get ready for some nonsense rambling...

The title is from Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey. I can't get enough of them! That one isn't necessarily my favorite but it's one of the few that would fit in the title bar.

I've creeped on facebook for the past several hours. Yes, I'm an intense facebook stalker. Thank goodness they don't post where I've been because there would probably be a few restraining orders filed. For instance, this evening I've gone through the pictures of a previous crush of mine who is now married and I haven't talked to in at least 3 years. I've also scanned the wall postings of former roommates, sorority sisters, crushes, and other acquaintances (the people who are my facebook friend, but really if I saw you in real life, I might not even know you). Yes, I've even read through their walls. Time seems to fly by when you are creeping, but I can't help it! It may be a serious problem, but facebook feeds my habit. Actually, my Sophomore year of college, I was voted Facebook Queen. Yes, I got a certificate and a little bonzai type plant, which is long since dead. It was really just a little joke between all of Greek Life on campus. Another award given was Hula Hoop Queen. But I stand proud with my title of Facebook Queen :) Just a fun fact for you all to know, hope you aren't too afraid of my crazed antics, especially you facebook friends of mine :)

So amidst the stalker tendencies, I also created a Twitter account. I'm sure it will begin to consume my life soon enough. You can find me here. If you have one, let me know, or just start following me, I feel a little loserish not having any followers.

I'm on Spring Break right now from student teaching. I've gotten nothing accomplished that I said I was going to. I should feel stressed, but I don't. That's one really weird thing about me, I don't really get stressed. Even with the horrible money stuff that I just went through, I was scared and nervous at times, but probably no where near how I should have been. Whenever I'm in a stressful situation, I find myself saying that it will get better and leaving it up to God. Maybe this isn't the best thing, and stress can be good at times, I just don't feel that way.

I'm planning on going back to my old work on Friday morning. I need to get my tax thing that I just realized they never sent me. Yeah, I'm organized like that. And I'll be able to see some of the kids and teachers that I miss. I'm weirdly really excited about it. I really miss some of those kids. And there's one para in particular that I can't wait to see! She just got back from Prague where she was having in vitro fertilization done (not really sure if I phrased that correctly). She's nearing 40 and has already been through a couple of rounds here. And apparently in Prague, they put more eggs/sperm (sorry I'm not totally sure what they do) in and they have a much higher success rate. And oddly enough, it's actually cheaper for her and her husband to go all the way over there for 2 weeks and have it done than it was for them to have the procedure done again here in America. Weird, right? I've been praying really hard for her because she's the type that was really born to be a mother. She will be so devastated if this doesn't work. I don't know what she'll do. They absolutely cannot do it again, she had to really convince her husband this time and they had to use their savings and borrow and stuff. It was truly her last shot. Unfortunately, she won't know until the end of March if it worked or not, but keep her in your thoughts and prayers if it's not too much trouble.

In student teaching seminar tonight, the teacher asked what Special Education was. One of the replies was "Teaching to the way students learn." I really liked this definition, but I wish it were true for all of Education.

Pretty sure we're going on week 7 of sore throat. I really thought when I was diagnosed with Strep I would feel better later. That lasted a whole 2 days, and fire throat came right back. I'm not sure if it's Strep again (Can you get that twice in a row? And so quickly?). But I'm sure they won't give me meds again if it isn't. I'm sticking with Tylenol and throat spray for now, hopefully it'll get better by week 8.

K, well I'm off to watch some How I Met Your Mother. Seriously, best show ever. It's hilarious and if you haven't seen it, you must!!!

Sorry if this post made absolutely no sense, but it's late and I basically just typed whatever popped into my head. Awesome job if you made it all the way through!

  2. I made it all the way through!

    You should probably head back to the doctor...it sounds like you had a pretty severe strain of strep and you need a stronger antibiotic.

    I hope your "fire throat" goes away. See you Monday!

  3. I'm absolutely determined NOT to join Twitter. Just like I refused to join Facebook. Or start a blog....hmmm...

    And it sounds like you never really got over your strep. I agree that you need to try a stronger antibiotic. Get feeling better!
