Stressful things

I like to break things down into smaller pieces so that they're easier to manage. However, sometimes I forget what my original goal was because I was so focused on the details. Note to self: don't lose sight of the big picture.

Bottled

What is the use of bottling things up? Problems don't get solved by being swept under the rug.

Questions

Sometimes I question why I am here, yet I don't know where to go.

Truth be told, being in teacher's college does not inspire me to become a teacher. The more teacher PD material is flung at me, the more I do not want to be here.

I enjoy teaching, don't get me wrong. I wanted to keep things simple, especially in teaching, except teacher's college is doing the exact opposite. There are so many pedagogical details and nuances that one must master to teach. I feel like it doesn't need to be this complicated.

I'm really starting to resent this place.

Illogical things

Why do feelings fight with logic?

Simple things that help a lot in life

A positive attitude, some good music, and good company.

Living live on the edge

When you always live life on the edge, you end up wetting the bed.

Moon River

Yay, astro-puke wall paper!

It's Friday, Friday...

The Dating Age Difference Formula

Youngest age you (older person) can date = 1/2 * your age + 7

Example of a function.

Ask 3 students for their age and the name and age of a celebrity they would date. Ask students if they've seen couples where one person looks old enough to be the other one's parent. There is a guideline for how young your romantic interest can be, I don't know how valid it is, but we'll pretend that it's valid for the sake of this example. Use the formula to see if they can date the celebrity of their choice.

At what age ranges does this formula fail?

What is the x variable (input) and what is the y variable (output)?

Write the function for x.

Nomnomnom bubbles

Another lazy weekend with my honey. We finally went to Menchie's and I got to try those shiny little bubble thingies. When I bit down on the bubbles, fruit juice gushed out. They're so fun to eat! The frozen yogurt was good too, it was really smooth!

I like Pikachu

So chubby and yellow and cute and happy.

Happy Valentine's Day

Would you love someone without wanting/expecting them to love you back?

The smell of spring

It's starting to smell like spring. Blue skies and sunshine wafting in the air. Snow melting into water streaming down the roads and sidewalks. The gentle, carefree breeze carrying happiness.

The camouflaged goose poop in the grass that I almost stepped on this morning.
