I have been told I drink lemon with a little tea flavoring hehe... strange, i am not big into lemonade, just lemon in tea and in water 9but no sugar that is lemonade hehe 6 something, talking to peoples online putting stuff up from trip 7 something finally lay down for a few hours late night - grading for classes, posting with people, worked a lot on this new game Cursed Curios - thinking about things and listening to the radio - i flip between about 3 channels so, that was my day (and yes I gyped the night, I'll have to redo this and keep better track,,, :P

A Day in My Life - part 1

Saturday, February 19, 2008 A Day in my life Saturday 6am – get up, shower get books ready for class 630 – drive to Cumberland County College – listen to some Angels and airwaves and then a local radio station plays Breakfast club Saturday morning which I like as it is 80s stuff but in the breakfast club vein – thought about the lab to get ready for it as well as some posting ideas 7:40 – arrive at college prepare for lab 8am – 11 – scheduled Environmental Science Lab (lectures are Friday nights 5 – 8) Today's topic – GeoHazards – volcanoes and earthquakes. Lecture for about 45 minutes then go to computer lab and students can work on lab there or at their convenience – about half the class stays – also their first test is next week o some have general questions 11:00 4 students still working so I stay – as students work, I sort papers, check my high school online class (I am teaching Advanced Web design with 25 students from all over. I grade their assignments, answer questions a...

What Can you Do

Oh on top of everything else that happened today, I had a student break down a little in my lab this morning. She was the last one there and talking about things and it came up that she had been applying for this better job in the place she works for and the politics and way people were handling it hurt her badly (plus they abuse her in how much work she does for them and all...) in addition she's finding the financial burdens growing and making possible difficult changes coming. But this all kinda came out as I was discussing a few things from lab and cleaning up the lab and I could not do much as she struggled with the tears and talkig about it other than listen... but I felt so bad and it made me think about where I am... damn it I hate the f*ing "what can you do... nothing really" feeling, I have such a hard tme with that, harder than many things and i always trying to fight it and end up just as frustrated or making things worse.... oh to be callous, or like the so...

What words can mean

Been listening to a lot of music lately (as if that is anything new lol) but really been listening lately to help my mind through some things. Plus had a nasty cold or something kicking my butt and it still is. So anyhoos, been listening to lots of music and one song has caught my interest a bit – "Shadow of a Day" by Linkin Park. Not along the lines of their "harder" songs so this one has found more radio play. And yes, it has been around awhile, I just sometimes take a while to get to things lol Also funny weird is I've been listening to this song for a bit, before the recent string of things happened so it is like hmm was that foreshadowing lol – nah I just like music :P Amazing how you can say something and mean one thing. And three people hear you and hear three different things.... But I like this song because of the many ways one can interpret the lyrics, plus the music and lyrics are juxtapositioned a bit. What I mean is the music sets up one mood ...

Life is bulldozing along

Ok been way too busy and barely managing to stay afloat – I shall catch up and update very soon, but I find this song describes where I am about a lot of things of late I especially like the lines I just wanna scream and lose control I'm in a fight with the world but I'm winning Laughing so hard it hurts like hell Yup learning somethings just aren't meant to be, are outta my control and so just gotta laugh : ) AVRIL LAVIGNE LYRICS "Runaway" Got up on the wrong side of life today, yeah Crash the car and I'm gonna be really late My phone doesn't work cus it's out of range Looks like it's just one of those kind of days You can't kick me down I'm already on the ground No you can't, but you couldn't catch me anyhow Blue skies, but the sun isn't coming out, no Today is like I'm under a heavy cloud And I feel so alive I can't help myself Don't you realize [Chorus] Throw my hands up and let it go Forget about everything and ...
