On my first day of Spring Break, I find myself sick as a dog. Since I am bed ridden anyway, I've decided to share some random thoughts. These are not in any particular order.
1. Technology scares me. It really does, seriously. Take this Facebook account for instance….I only have it because of a class requirement.
2. I believe that ALL things have a season. Life, friends, jobs, relationships, clothes, etc.…enjoy what you can, learn what you are supposed to learn, and move on when it is done.
3. Even though she died back in 1999, it is still sometimes incomprehensible to me that my cousin Lisa is dead. I hope that she is proud of all me.
4. I am a gypsy at my core. I am at home anywhere on this planet.
5. Teaching was the absolute last thing I thought I would be doing for a career. I only began teaching while waiting for the Foreign Service to place me.
6. Monday, January 6, 2006 and running have saved my life. Literally.
7. I don’t believe in Political Correctness. I think it has abused Truth. However, I still hold out hope that Truth will prevail.
8. The first book I ever read from cover to cover was Gone With the Wind. I read the sequel Scarlet…what a let down.
9. I do own an IPOD (someone had to set it up for me though) and I have everyone from Conway Twitty to TPain loaded in it.
10. I have friends that have interesting careers. I know an ice trucker, a CEO of a bank, fitness trainers, foreign service workers, writers, archivists, reporters, pilots, a taste tester, exotic dancers, bartenders, fashion designers, professional athletes, private investigators, personal assistants to famous/wealthy people, numerous chefs, Peace Corps workers, actor, recording artists, ministers, a jeweler, a hand and foot model (not the same people, btw), a few regular models. I could go on, but I’ve made my point.
11. Closed Mind People (People that “Don’t like this/that/him/her/them/it” for no other reason other than mere existence), really, really tick me off.
12. I believe that people have the time to do what they desire to do. Period.
13. I am a principled person.
14. I despise winter, but understand its necessity in the cycle of things.
15. I am jealous of artistic people in general. I wish that I could express myself in the ways that they do.
16. I once spent an entire paycheck on a purse and a pair of shoes.
17. I get a kick out of seeing my students having an “Aha! Moment”. It never ever gets old.
18. The concept of rewarding people for doing things that they are supposed to do is the saddest practice I have ever seen.
19. I am most at peace when I am near water. I sometimes turn on the faucet and watch the water run. Lately, since I have been trying to be less wasteful of the world’s resources, I have started the practice of filling a large bucket with water and then using it to clean things. Yeah, you got it…the dipping my hands in water thingy.
20. I am an English teacher that happens to be the worst speller known to man.
21. I cried when I left Brazil at the end of last summer. I really, really considered not boarding my flight back to the US.
22. If one got a passport stamped for travel within the US, my passport would be stamped the most for Las Vegas, Nevada. Yeah, I don’t get this one either. I’ve been to Las Vegas so many times now that visits have begun to blend together.
23. Sometimes people don’t get what they deserve.
24. It is in part of because of charity that I am where I am today. I am charitable one, to remind myself of it and two, to hopefully bless someone else.
25. My mom and my aunt are my heroes.
