Lately, I've been consumed with preparing for this colossal project. Basically, it's an assessment that proves that I deserve to be a teacher. There's so much hype surrounding it that makes it intimidating. It's definitely been an uphill trek. After hearing all of my friends' stories, I can't complain. My mentor teacher has been so supportive and responsive. My kiddos are great and so sweet. For all these reasons, the song of the moment is Kanye's Good Life. I'm more blessed than I could ever deserve.

Just Throwing It Out There...
You might have to pardon the frustration in this post. I'm operating on little sleep and maximum stress.
Is it really necessary to take pictures of your family doing a good deed like handing out blankets to those less fortunate and then post them online? Did you have permission to post the pictures of those who received the blankets you handed out? Doesn't everyone deserve some dignity? Times are hard. I'm not sure that everyone wants people to know that they needed a hand-out. Just saying people deserve respect and that includes their images being used online.

I Miss My English Lit Classes
I miss reading beautiful words to just enjoy them more than you could imagine. Now, I just teach kids how to find the beauty in words. This quotation on my iGoogle had me jonesing to sit in on a Romantic English lit class:
To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
-William Blake

I Know When...
I know when I'm having a long week when the Backstreet Boys' I Want It That Way video makes me happy. It reminds me of days lounging around in my room at my parents' house without a care in the world (perhaps I was worried about a French test). Poor Nick Carter. I wonder how it feels to have girls screaming your name for a couple of years and then having to sell tickets to your birthday party.
