just in case i’ve never titled a post with a word beginning with “j”

sometimes i feel like i repeat myself too much in the classroom. i guess teenagers, like little kids, need to hear things a few times more than i’d think necessary. and then there’s always someone who did not hear it once; not any of the 7 times you said it.

i also over-think things, like never having made a title to a post starting with “j”, but really this is only because the macbook suggests to me that this is so.

i’m a lil cold right now, and in dire need of doing work/preparation for school, yet i cannot. i have a pretty valid excuse- emotional turmoil, and i will divulge the cause this time.

rest in peace, grandpa.

i went to a family dinner, a little nervous that i would float away in tears, but i was pleasantly surprised to find myself having a great time (all things considered), and we laughed a lot too.

people were sharing stories and memories about grandma and grandpa, and lots of fun stuff came up.

i talked with a cousin and he strongly suggests i give teaching a second year. that was good for me to hear. maybe i haven’t admitted it all that much in the public blogosphere, but teaching has been very trying. not only because it’s my first year, but for other reasons as well.

i don’t have too much to say, nothing funny (if you’re in need of laughs watch that found footage festival i tell you!)…but i probably still won’t get around to doing work after i post this.

ok. i’ll do it. but only because i need to relax and get some TLC from my friend boy later. sometimes time sort of stops, out of your control, because it has to, elst you’d go crazy. (ie the occasional forced bedtime even though i haven’t finished planning)
