Warning! Warning! Insanity levels reaching critical!

So I'm getting to the point where I am so busy that I can't remember what day it is. How do you forget what day it is? Especially when you've got everything so tightly coordinated that you would miss five things if you didn't know what day it is? Maybe its not because I'm busy, maybe its just because I'm crazy.

Remember that Study Abroad program . . .?

Well, I decided to do it. I am going to Paris this winter!!! I am so excited!
And very broke. So any donations . . . . ;-) I'm thinking you could all get together and get me a digital camera for Christmas so I could post lots of pictures on my blog for you. Oh wait, you all have about as much money as I do . . . never mind.

Breathe. In . . and out . . .

Last night I was watching Dancing With The Stars and Marie passed out. First I thought she was just being funny, but she wasn't. During the commercial break, I realized, she forgot to breathe. I do that in practice sometimes, forget to breathe, but generally I remember after a few measures. Marie must not have breathed during the majority of her dance. Sure enough, when they filmed her after she came to, she said she got winded. (That was a little more than winded if you ask me)

Ok, but the cool part was, my landlord and landlady were at the taping. They were in the back row behind the judges, not an area much seen on camera. However, when Marie passed out, her family went to help her and left their seats open. Well, on television, they hate having empty seats, so they moved my landlady and landlord to their seats until the family got back. And I saw them! It was cool. They moved back to their original seats later, but it was still cool to see them. And they were interviewed for the show tonight too, so I hope they are on!

Need City Planner

I subbed at a school today that had the worst planning I've seen. There were two streets that I had to take to get into the school, but that was the only way into the school, so there was only one way out and three crosswalks with crossing guards. So when school got out, it was just about impossible to get out unless you wait fifteen minutes. Then I went to the Home Depot and the parking lot had no straight lines to get to the actual street. Anyway.

Can't wait for this one!

Check it out!

I think its because J.J. Abrams is directing. That just tickles my funny bone!! I wonder how it will be without the original cast. Weird

To Dream

I absolutely love this song. To do something just because it is a good thing to do. I think I need to make that my goal.

"The Impossible Dream"

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star!!

I am really annoyed . . .

That there is never enough time in the day!!!

I"ve been taking way too many quizzes!!

You are very intelligent and have high moral standards. You truly care about people and helping them. Your knack for solving problems and pleasing two warring sides makes you unique and a desirable friend to have, even if sometimes you have to tell people what they might not like hearing.

Yeah, this was Which Twilight Character are you. Carlisle, in case you were wondering. So, yeah, not that any of those characters come across as real, but when you are bored at work and have a tendency to get addicted to online quizzes . . .

I lead a sad life

And my life is . . .

What Type of Movie Would Your Life Be?
	Your life would be an Action Flick. You live for the adventure and run on adrenaline. You are fearless and aren't one to let anything stop you from what you need to do. You most definitely are a thrill seeker, which sometimes gets you into trouble. However, you always find a way out of whatever predicament you find yourself in.

The other choices were horror, comedy and drama. I definately prefer action

And I like . . .

What Kind of Guy Will You Fall For?
	You would fall for the gentleman. Keep an eye out for your love at your next formal or field trip to the opera. Watch out for bad boys who walk on the inside of the curb and don't hold the door for you, and you'll end up with the guy who's suave, sophisticated, and classy through-and-through.

Quelle surprise!!

Today I am . . .

Which Female Action Hero Are You?
	You are part Wonder Woman. You have a powerful and strong personality, and you use your persuasiveness and wisdom to keep firm control over your world. You are hard to break.
	You are part The Bride. When you get an idea in your head, you simply won't let it go! You constantly search for normalcy, love, and sometimes revenge--and your vicious stubbornness inspires you to fight to the death to get what you want.

I think I prefer the first

Is there a graduate level institute class?

Ok, so I have a small problem with pride, as relating to my intelligence level. I really try to learn and apply concepts I have learned. But when I go to institute, for some reason I expect to learn something I didn't know before. Is that wrong? They tell us we need to be attending some kind of institute class, but then all they offer are classes where I already know the material. Why should I go to a class when I know what the teacher is teaching. I could probably teach the class just as well.
Maybe I just feel that when the teacher writes "infinite atonement" on the board and then asks how the atonement covers people who were alive before He atoned for our sins, I feel like my intelligence has been insulted. I understand what "infinite" means. Thank you, I think I learned that fifteen years ago.
Ok, so I know that apparently I went to institute with the wrong mindset. I went expecting them to give me knowledge when I did nothing to prepare myself for the class spiritually so that I could be touched by the Spirit. But really, I learned everything we talked about in high school. This class should be building on previous knowledge, not just building the foundation still. Ok, I forget that some people joined the church late. I just wish we didn't have to always teach to the lowest common denominator!

Give me your cell phone

I subbed at a high school today. The never ending problem with high school is that everyone has a cell phone. I told the class that if I saw it, I would take it away. So of course someone has to challenge me. This one kid had his cell phone out. There were approximately two minutes left in class. I asked for it, he refused. (a reasonable request cannot be refused without repercussions on the student's part) I asked him several times and then asked for his name. He wouldn't give me that either. Sadly for him, he was in the corner computer, so he couldn't escape without getting past me. Sadly for me, he was twice my size and probably had almost a foot on me. Then he started threatening and swearing at me. I still wouldn't let him go. Then the bell rang. He left and the other students told me his name.
My question is this? What is he thinking? I guess he really does not realize that it doesn't end with me, I wrote a full report for his teacher and he will have to deal with the consequences. He really thinks it is that unfair that he cannot use his cell phone in class and of course he does not have to follow the rules because he is different. Honestly, I do not get that mentality. What happened to respect in schools? Because I'm telling you, its not there.
