I hate Mondays...
VERY MUCH!
I refer to my previous post in saying it would be nice if there were only 3 days in a week instead of 7. Yeah....like that will happen.
So what did I do today? Well I slept through my first class....basically because its a pointless information processing class and we dont do anything. I mean cmon, I'm taking an Education degree...how I am gonna learn to teach kids anything if WE dont do anything. Anyways so yeah I did that.
Second, I went to work. Good hours (basically make my own), good people and good money so I cant complain there. In fact, I think I will sacrifice more of my classes for work heh.
Third, I went back to class and we had an interesting discussion of creation vs. evolution. Yeah, like I'm going to bring that up with MY students. Have the class break out in fistfights and whatnot...on the other hand...hehe. Actually our prof told us that it is good to have controversy in the classroom. Had lots of controversy in our classroom today.
The highlight of the day was in that last class. The students that did their 1 week internships this past week were discussing their experiences and this one guy mentioned his experience. He was in the classroom at a local high school and his supervising teacher had to go out to deal with some kid that was blazed up on weed. So anyways, he decided to play a little game with the kids. He would read a question and whoever got the question right would get a point. However, to make it more interesting, he used different kinds of voices to read the questions and he would award an extra point to whoever got the voice right. He used voices from characters from the Simpsons, Sesame Street and junk like that. We got him to do an impression of Grover off Sesame Street and it was hilarious haha. I should ask him for a sound byte to put on here.
Oh yeah, in honor of the Monkey King story that our prof told us, which seemed to be over everyones head (go figure), I'm posting a link to a good site where you can find monkey pictures. You gotta admit, they are funny to look at. I dare you to look at a picture of a monkey and try to keep a straight face......DARE YOU! http://www.northrup.org/photos/Monkey/
Anyways what is in store for tonight you ask? Well, a night of essay writing seems about right. I was going to go to the Cellar pub on campus to see Joey and Snake from Degrassi tonight....but I have this stupid essay to do. I'm sure I will check out Monday night football as well.
Finally, if anyone wants to listen to a good cd, I bought the new Bowling for Soup cd on Saturday. Its really good, I highly recommend it. Besides the mainstream song "1985", they have an awesome song about Texas and this chick who sleeps with some guy she meets at a bank and then moves to Ohio and how everyone wants her to come back to Texas when shes "done doing what shes doing and who shes doing" haha Great song.
Well time to make some supper.....chicken burgers seems like something that could be good tonight so I think I'll make those. Keep it real everybody.....and if anyone ever reads these, feel free to comment. Later.
