Good Thing #19 — February 21st — Snow Blowing

I love when it snows and I get to use my snow blower. Mostly I like this because I get to go around and snow blow other people’s driveways. I was able to snow blow our older neighbors driveway and a lot of the sidwwalks in the neighborhood. It makes me feel good inside and very Continue Reading…

Is playing Mario Kart Wiiii. Now I get to unleash some stress on Toad!

Is playing mario kart Wiiii. I haven’t been able to play all week. Now I get to unleash some stress on Toad! Oh how I loathe him…

This Tweet got a lot of comment on Facebook, so I wanted to clarify why I despise Toad so much. You see, for years Toad has taunted me by placing my princess in another castle. I busted my butt to get through goombas, beatles, and other varieties of baddies all to find out it was a farce. Also, other times he has just been whiny. “Find the princess, she is lost” or “You need more star power to open this door,” give me a break!

So, that is why I despise Toad. The only expception is when Gina plays Mario Kart using Toad. Then I don’t have a strong hated towards him.

Yesterday I created the term Ari-frickin’-stotle and I was very proud of that.

Today’s good thing was that 3rd hour which is usually the least productive period was the most productive.

25 Random Things

So, if you were tagged, you are supposed to write your own list and tag 25 people including the person who tagged you. I say, do what you like.

1. I love teaching. However, it is way more work than I ever imagined it would be and I have a tremendous amount more respect for the good teachers I have had.
2. I love being a parent, but it is way more work that I ever imagined it would be (people always tell you it will be hard, and I beleived them, but you don’t know until you are there yourself.) I have a tremendous amount more respect for my parents now that I have a son.
3. I love Star Wars. I don’t know why. I know it (probably) isn’t real but the pageantry and the grandeur and the philosophy of it all is just so mesmerizing. It truly is an Oprah.
4. I have ADD and probably have my whole life. I was not officially diagnosed until I was 23, and knowing that I have it makes it easier as a teacher to deal with students who also have ADD (even if they don’t know they have it.) I also take drugs for ADD and, at least for me, they work.
5. I do not currently have a job next year and this weighs on me more than I let on or want to think about.
6. All I really want out of life is to do something that matters. I don’t know what that will be and I don’t know if I will know what it is (it may already have happened) but I will keep working at it until I die.
7. My son is named for Sir Isaac Newton (perhaps the single most important person of the millennium) and I think this is awesome and I don’t know if Gina will ever truly appreciate how much I appreciate and love her for allowing that. Continue Reading…

Good Thing #17 — February 18th — Lab

Today’s circular motion lab went pretty well. I tried to let the students work on figuring out the procedure and what to do and after some initial insecurity and confusion they got the idea without too much help from me and it pleased me.

Good Thing #16 — February 17th — Feeling Better

The medicine the doctor gave me seems to be working as I feeling less sick. He gave me something called Cherritussing which I guess it basically Robitussing (which I hate) but with Codeine.
