Currently reading this. The magic system reminds me of Avatar: The Last Airbender (controlling the elements, etc.). The characters are decent. The writing could use improvement. The plot hasn’t really fleshed out but it seems okay. We’ll see how this goes. #books #fantasy #literature (Taken with instagram)
Curry chicken, made by me. It came out quite delicious. And now, over-abundant use of hashtags: #food #chicken #plate #cup #water #corn #rice #garlicbread #isthisnotannoying (Taken with instagram)

There’s a bird that will not shut up right outside my window.
It has been chirping loudly at around this time for the last week or so. I have never hated a bird so much in my entire life.
SHUT UP BIRD NO ONE WANTS YOU GO AWAY ALL THE FEMALE BIRDS ARE PROBABLY ANNOYED BY NOW SO LEAVE AHHHHHHHH
End rant.
Doubts About Teaching
I don’t think I’m a very good teacher. Perhaps my motivation isn’t as strong as it used to be. Maybe I have a hard time trying to be a strict person because that’s not who I am. It could be that encountering classrooms where a majority of students couldn’t care less about Language Arts and would rather have conversations about who knows what has drained me of my passion.
I know the reasons listed don’t have anything to do with my performance, but it has affected my overall view of the teaching profession.
I know I have difficulties managing time in the classroom. I’m not exactly experienced with such things as I’ve only been teaching for a year. I know I have a difficult time being strict, because who I am won’t yell at a kid (unless I’m having one of those days where my patience doesn’t exist). I have a difficult time coming up with interesting activities because frankly I don’t know that many.
As one of my college professors would say, I’m not knowledgeable.
This has led me to believe that I would do much better in another profession where I can still utilize my love for literature and language without being in the education profession. I am, however, conflicted about this because I love to teach and I love to get to know students and inspire them to do better.
I’m just not that good at it.

Hi.
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything that would be considered “tl;dr.” How’s everyone been? I hope well. I really, really do. (This isn’t sarcasm, I swear.) (That wasn’t either.) (You’ll never believe me.)
Anyway, here are a few things that have happened in my life.
- I’ve worked quite a bit as a sub at a school that is hopefully considering me for full-time employment. The kids at that school are great (they’ve even come to call me as “their favorite sub,” but the validity of that statement is in question), the staff is wonderful, and I can make the kids do push-ups. All in all, it’s my dream school.
- I finally finished House of Leaves. It was a fantastic read that will haunt me for quite a while. The mystery left behind is up to interpretation (which I love), and it’s great to see an author take a risk by writing something in such an obscure and unique way. Two thumbs up.
- I took a break from playing Kingdoms of Amalur because, frankly, it’s not holding my interest very much. The story is not exactly captivating or well-paced, and the game distracts you with exclamation marks (representing quests, but you already knew that) that one cannot help to engage in. Also, playing as a mage makes the game ridiculously easy.
- Cave Story is one of the best games I’ve ever played. I should be playing that instead of writing this. Resisting is becoming more and more difficult.
- Catching Fire, book two of The Hunger Games, feels like a book that has one of the best paces I’ve ever read. It just feels right. It’s not too fast, not too slow, and there is always something going on. Good stuff. The story is great, too.
- My birthday was last week and I spent in the company of my amazing girlfriend at Benihanas. Using the $30 coupon they gave me for my birthday, we ended up paying only $20 for our meal. Her and I have decided that if we ever have a house motto as seen in A Song of Ice and Fire, our motto would be “We Never Pay Full Price.” Could be figurative and literal.
- The school year is almost over and I am both excited and afraid. I’m excited because that will mean I have successfully completed my first school year as a teacher. I’m afraid because I don’t know what I’ll do to earn income until the next school year. Something will come up. I hope.
- The Avengers was the best damn superhero movie I have ever seen. If you haven’t seen it yet… um, just go see it. Now. I don’t care if they’re closed. Break in, start the reel up and watch it.
That’s about it. If you’ve made it this far, congratulations.
Until next time.
It is incredible how so many people can constantly misread speed to
mean ease. This is certainly most common where photography is
concerned. However, simply because anyone can buy a camera, shutter away, and then with a slightly prejudiced eye justify the product
does not validate the achievement. Shooting a target with a rifle
is accomplished with similar speed and yet because the results are
so objective no one suggests that marksmanship is easy.
