Xa promised me a pygmy puff if I updated by blog. When it comes to me, I guess you just have to find the right motivator.
At the moment, I am eating far too many of these new hershey's kisses filled with cherry cordial creme. My mom gave them to me. Thanks mom! They're heavenly.
I found myself just now thinking about the words horror and terror and how they're both bad. And then I thought of horrible and terrible and how they're both bad. Then I thought of horrific and terrific and how they're not both bad. Why not? No one knows.
I've spent the last few days having trouble focusing and concentrating. I had a moment, or rather several days, of sheer panic last week after receiving an email from Mary Jorgensen in which she completely changed her mind about how many artifacts she wanted to see for each competency in my ed portfolio. Panic ensued, along with a huge load of extra work, and a couple very short nights before I finally just said to hell with it and sent it off overnight express. I shall not think of it again until I have to go defend it, or whatever it is I have to do with it on december 2. Then on Saturday I took the Praxis II, which was a pain in the arse. I had heard it was easy to pass, which lead me to believe that it would be easy to take. That was a false assumption. But as long as it remains easy to pass, I no longer care. I shall not think of it again until my scores come in a month.
In the middle of all that I did also manage to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire at the IMAX theater at the MN Zoo. It was quite amazing. The quality of the movie aside, it was pretty cool to see it on a screen of such proportions. The quality of the movie did a lot to contribute to my going again on Sunday to the movie theater where I could sit in an uncomfortable seat and watch on a small screen for only four dollars. It was still really really good. I did find myself having to come home and check a few lines in the books, and I need to do a better job of it, but I was interested by the fact that Sirius' comment that no one stops being a death eater appears to have been added to the movie. Or at least I can't find it in the book. Becomes rather significant a bit further out though. Just thought that was interesting.
Anyway, I have a bit of work to do pertaining to the Declaration of Independence this evening. Oh, by the way, I like the 6th graders. Still think I'm cut out for high school primarily, but the middle school thing wouldn't be all that bad. I've gotten very very good at giving very very clear instructions. That's for sure.
After I'm done with work I'm going to further feed my current obsession with Harry Potter by watching The Making of Goblet of Fire on A&E at 7:00.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the other crazy thing that happened this weekend. My brother somehow kicked a slab of concrete and shattered his big toe. He's in a boot and on crutches for 6 weeks. And my dad did nothing but laugh at him the entire time they were at the urgent care clinic. Poor kid.
Anyway, that's all. Sorry for the rambly-ness. I have very little brainpower left to expend on things like clearly organized, logical and witty blog posts.
Okay, I'm off. Happy Thanksgiving weeks to all.
