The future

Is it normal that the future scares the ever living crap out of me? Not like, “oh gee I hope I can find a job!” and “Growing up is so hard! I cant believe I am graduating college”…no, no. I am fine with all of that. My real fear is, well, the other stuff. I am too much of a planner for this. I need to know how things are going to be, and I would prefer a hand written...

Yea so, Im gonna need a picture. Please and thank you. ohmytorturedsoul: I admit it was a power play, and not a very good one at that. It was insignificant in the scheme of things. It was a decision made in moment, and truthfully, it was all I could think to do. “Why did you decide to cut your hair?” I get that question a lot now. “To reclaim my peripheral vision,” I…

It’s terribly amusing that I have the hubris to believe that in my so far short time on this planet I can come close to reaching any of the great truths that I so often read about. But it’s past two-thirty in the morning, and my blood-alcohol level is well below the legal limit. Both are signs… Yea, dude, we definitely need to reconnect. Your posts make me sad I dont know anything about...

I actually loved her

Okay I havent gotten on this thing in forever, but I am really sad after reading this. What happened? marcjohnson: like with my heart, and that doesn’t happen very often with things in my life. Maybe it’s for reasons like this that I am the way I am, distanced and skeptical of the mutuality of feelings, but when I saw her it was an immediate connection. I loved her, and I know she loved me. RIP...

Student Teaching

So far so good. I helped 6th graders with a bunch of worksheets on rhythm today. It was pretty fun. I love theory stuff like that. And I also love math, so its fun to help them understand note values in terms of numbers. It also fulfills a ton of Georgia standards. Yuck, by the way. haha! But, yes. I enjoy my classroom so much more this semester, which is shocking because I thought I would hate...

gregshivers: So, I have this really good friend who is a lot like me in some ways. He gets very excited about creativity, art, story, and he’s a big geek too. The difference is that he’s a pretty handsome dude and I’m a bit average aesthetically. We go to dinner a lot when he’s in town. Both of us are moderately social guys and like to converse with the wait staff. Especially the waitresses....

A List

gregshivers: In an effort to prove that four year institutions do not prepare students for the real world, here is a list of things I have learned from my college studies, none of them having any practical application. 1. I will never stop loving Pokemon. 2. Drinking is fun! 2a. Your first hangover should not occur with your commencement ceremony. 3. No matter how long you stay on Facebook,...

My Thanksgiving...

Things I learned today...

You can stay up really late the night before the test doing stupid college stuff, get 4 hours of sleep, and still get mostly ++++ (most or all questions answered correctly) on the Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators, a.k.a. GACE. Maybe it would have been better that I didnt learn this lesson…haha!

BLAH

Once upon a time I had to turn in 1/3 of my portfolio….it is now 5 days past due, and I still havent really started. Ughh…why cant I make myself do it? It seriously makes me want to throw up when I think about doing it. Its so much BS in such a concentrated assignment that I can hardly stomach it. Ughh….gotta do it, gotta do it, gotta do it.

marcjohnson: As deep and fake as it sounds, I need another rebirth. I’ve had a lot this year, but not enough I feel… I’m so happy in some aspects of my life now: Love, Friendship, Family. But in others I’m still kind of empty. Maybe that’s part of life, though; that never-ending urge to fill whatever emptiness there might be at any moment in life. But I’m not gonna stop trying. I’m all about a...

Ag. Science homework made me laugh...a lot

Okay, so I was doing this lab write up thing for Ag. Sci. and there were all these paragraphs of information to help us answer the questions. I read the following paragraph and burst out in laughter. “PCR is such a powerful tool because of its simplicity and specificity. All that is required are minute quantities of the DNA template you want to amplify DNA polymerase two DNA primers ...

Today

I am ready for today to be over. This has been like one of the worst days I have had in a long time. Everything crappy keeps happening. Atop it all I forgot to go to one of my classes. Yes. Week three, and I just completely and utterly forgot about a class. It wasnt until 3 hours after the class that I remembered I had missed it. Granted it was a lab that meets once a week, but still! I am SO mad!...

What If...

So I was sitting in this really awesome gathering of christians tonight, and this guy was just sharing his testimony, and talking about his heart for Christ’s church and it suddenly hit me…What if it all ended soon? What if Christ came back tonight? What if my life was over in a few hours? My “what if”s were not worrisome because I was afraid for my salvation, because I...
