Haiku of Frustration
Write a haiku about something that drives you nuts: You don’t use your blinker. You think I know what you want. Now who’s mad? Not me!
10 Things That Make Me Happy
Good surprises I haven’t quite figured out why I LOVE surprises, but I just do! I suppose that’s why I always enjoy a good mystery/suspense film. If I could get a GOOD surprise everyday of my life, I think I’d be the happiest person in the world. Good friends I LOVE my friends! There’s almost…
Observations of An Older Student
You know how we always say, “if I only knew then what I know now?” Well, I’m not gonna say that because that phrase gets played out sometimes. However, with hindsight always being 20/20, it’s soo interesting to look back and reflect on what you could have done differently. I’ve been in school for one week now, and as I’ve touched on before, the contrast between how I think and engage is totally different from my peers. I’m guessing that the majority of them are “sophomore/junioresque,” but their behavior and thought process is nothing less than sophomoric–no pun intended.
Kids & Technology
I was listening to The Fish this morning, and they were having people call in about how technology is ruining their family time and what they do about it. You can imagine some of the comments: kids text the whole ride home and never say a word to parent, kids spend all their time in their rooms gaming, etc. This really got my brain going.
The First Day
My first day of school was great! I haven’t been soo excited to be in school since like elementary school. I know what it is though. When you actually want to learn, there’s soo much to be excited about!
The Worst Teacher I Ever Had
My least favorite experience with a teacher was in 3rd grade.
I Heard Through the Grapevine…At My Own Funeral
I used to think about this all the time when I was younger. Most of my teen years I had issues with low self-esteem and was constantly concerned about what people thought of me. I wanted to fit in all the while knowing that I was not made to fit anywhere really. There was always…
In defense of my vice
I am a “gumaholic.” Hi…my name is Jessica! Yes, I chew gum with the same fervor and anxiety as smokers smoke cigarettes. So, how did it start? It started at a very young age watching my mom chew gum. Now, my mother is a very “talented” gum chewer, in my opinion. I had always been…
Tell Me A Story, Aunt Bea!
Today is national tell a story day! If there’s ANYTHING I can do it’s telling stories. When I get my new laptop next week I’m gonna have to start doing video blog (vlogs) so those who don’t know me personally can experience what it’s like to hear a story from me…you won’t be disappointed LOL. Anyway, in honor of tell a story day, I’d like to tell a short story today of how silly your girl can be sometimes.
A Good Laugh
I had the best private laugh at lunch today as I recanted this story in my head. Last year, we got new chairs in the office: really nice, black, leather, adjustable chairs with lumbar support. My boss–Dennis–decided to put them together for us so we wouldn’t have to spend any time away from the phone. …
