i discovered a couple weeks ago that i'm a rockstar at meeting the page length requirement for papers.....unless the paper has to be about me. all semester long, i've written book reports and lesson plans and research papers and so on. every single one of them was way beyond the required length. some to the point of spending hours just cutting stuff out while still making the paper sound good. this past thursday i had a paper due -- a personal evaluation of my field experience this semester. it only had to be 3-4 pages long. going into it, i thought it would be a breeze....tha'ts nothing. y'all. it took me forever to write those three pages. i didn't think i would ever finish, or make it to three pages. but then, i had a final due two days later, and i could not for the life of me keep it to the required page length. one page per answer....i averaged one and a half. goodness. i hope i don't have many of those personal papers to write...they might kill me!
i'm contemplating doing away with my facebook. i'm not sure b/c it is such a great way to keep in touch with people who live far away. but i guess if i really want to keep up with them, i can call them, right? we'll see....
i love reading books and hearing God speak to you through them.
i'm so grateful that the semester is over. and that the school year is almost over. and that God provided a way for me to go on two vacations!
i think we all move way too fast sometimes. i wish everyone -- and everything -- would just slow down. relax. watch the sunset. smell the flowers. bask in the sun. spend time with friends -- unhurried, enjoyable time. love each other. read. enjoy the little things. stop moving so fast. i know people say they can't help it and they have to move fast to get things done, but it's just not true. slowing down is not going to kill you....in fact, you may live longer or be healthier! stop trying to be so stinking efficient and quick all the time and just enjoy life.
teacher appreciation week was last week. our school gave us monogrammed umbrellas in the school colors. that's right. i'm now the owner of a monogrammed umbrella that's the color of mcdonalds. but i also got tulips, brownies and a starbucks card from one of the kids!
