A Shady Tree To Learn Under


My morning did not begin well. The alarm clock did not bang, it did not ring, it didn't even whisper a soothing melody. My eyes opened as school began this morning at 7:30 a.m. I was then forced to call in and give an excuse (a.k.a a lie) for not being able to go. Mine was a sore throat and congestion. That'll do right? I have NEVER missed an observation day in my life. Of course it happens with the teacher I love the most! I plan to make up Friday....my day to sleep in. Whoever invited alarms is stupid in my opinion. All it has done is create havoc. What happened to the days when we were simply woken up by God's sunlight and began our day then???

I can't say much took place today. Ran a couple errands, went to the gym, worked on a little project I have due in a couple weeks, walked with Holly, and then read countless pages out of my pointless math book. I'm pretty much screwed tomorrow. I read most of the stuff, not all though. I dont have time to read 6 chapters. I read a good 3, the chapters that we were quizzed on. Although I'm not sure my brain retained much of it. It's all just kind of jambled and scattered in there....floating in wide open space. But a space that causes it to disorient itself and makes that sound when you come to a radio station that doesn't exist...SHHHHHHHHHHH

Tomorrow will undoubtedly be one of the longest days ever. Yes I am being dramatic. Thursdays just really suck. I wish we could learn outside under a shady tree or take a walk, but instead we are stuck in a classroom with few, if any, windows and flourescent lighting. I know how the kiddies feel. And instead of learning of helpful websites, how to read TAKS scores, or creating unique units....we are playing with base ten blocks. Sticks and little cubes. As you can tell, I'm rather bitter about this semester. I'm still waiting for the fun to come.
