My Wednesday

Did I mention that I think schooling at this point for me is pointless? Perhaps it's because I feel like the 4 weeks I've been in this semester, I've learned nothing. How sad is it that I'm paying muchos money to be bored Monday-Thursday? Needless to say, my friends and I have to keep ourselves entertained to stay awake. I know. It's sad.

We (me, and my friends Sara and Katie) signed up to work the book fair for an hour today. For extra credit only. And now that I think about it, I'm not sure it was very much bonus points. Oh well. While watching people browse, I decided I was tired of being bored, so what do I do? No, not get in trouble (which I sometimes do). Pick up an I Spy book of course! Y'all, I had too much fun with that thing! I was like a kid in a candy store. You are now reading the blog of a champion I Spyer. Yep, I WAS THAT GOOD! My achievement of the day was finding the spring on a page of an old, dusty attic. We looked for 10 minutes for that dern thing. And wouldn't you know, as soon as I very excitedly proclaimed, "I found it!," my teacher walked by and laughed at me. I thought about being embarassed, but I was too proud of myself of finding the hidden spring. Yes, I am a dork.

Remeber when I said I'm not learning anything? I forgot, I am. 7th and 8th grade math. Yes, I am for real. Now if you know how that is going to help me teach grades pre-k - 5th, will you please inform me? I'm not even learning how to teach 7th & 8th grade math. I'm just relearning it. And taking tests on it. And other people are taking the same class with another teacher, and what are they learning? How to teach math to pre-k - 5th graders. Huh? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Oh the irony. Y'all will read an update a year from now that will be titled: "HELP! I have no clue to teach students math, and I'm a certified teacher." Any prayers would be appreciated at this point. Yes, I'm serious.

One last thing. Comment from my 5th grade sister today. She said she wouldn't vote for Obama. I'm thinking it has to do with religion. Not at all. She wouldn't vote for him because he wouldn't let her play video games at school like McCain would (and George W. does, she added). Seriously? Where were these video games when I was in school? I was gyped, I guess. I love her.

Your siesta in Christ,
