I know why I couldn't get a job

I've been substitute teaching for the last month or so in the local school district down here. I have to say that the kids are awful. Seriously. They do not have any respect. Not for me, not for them, not for their classroom. I wondered for so long why I couldn't get a job down here when I felt like I should move. Now I know. I would have hated it. I would have spent way too much time stressing over how to deal with the students, I would never have been able to find time for my homework and I would not be sleeping because I would be trying to get too many things done.

I had a couple of girls just about get in a fight today. In eighth grade. They just don't care that I'm there. Almost no one did the work. And I always feel bad for the kids who are trying because no one respects them. They probably don't get much attention because the teachers are so busy with the bad kids. My voice is worn out by the end of every day. In the three/four weeks I've subbed, I've raised my voice more than in the entire year I subbed up in UT.

This world is going to fall apart. And its going to be because of apathy.

The Musical is Back!!!!

Why I LOVE HUGH!!!

81st Academy Awards.

I swear I could watch this guy all day. The triple threat. There's just nothing more to say.

A little good advice

Me: Why is it that everything in life hits you all at once?

Friend: Cause the lord loves you

Me: Gee thanks.

Friend: your welcome
and if it's too much then he'll help out

Apparently my anonymous friend simply forgot to write a note. :)

For everyone else, it was a good friend from high school (who is a total blog lurker) and I am very appreciative that he thought to send me flowers.

Thanks again!

Apparently I need to change my opinion about Valentine's Day. I'm in Utah, and my roommates in CA found these on my doorstep last night. Addressed to me. With no note saying who it was from.





They are really beautiful, but its driving me crazy that I don't know who they are from!!! I don't think that many people have my address.

V-Day stinks

As I was shoveling the driveway today, I was thinking about Valentine's Day and how sad it is to be single on this day. And I thought, who really enjoys this day? I mean, come on. Its one more day for guys to forget to get something for their girls, or for singles to realize their alone, or to remember all the good and/or bad holidays you've had. I mean, we already have anniversaries, Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays and Christmas. Do we really need one more holiday to say I Love You? Shouldn't we be doing this every day anyway?

I think the only people who really enjoy Valentine's Day are those in Elementary School, where everyone gets valentines.
