Getting into the swing of things
Many of my friends call me an open book, I tend to ramble on and on about well just about everything. But when it comes to online journaling or blogging or whatever you call it I have some difficulties. I used to keep a journal when I was younger. probably around my lates teens. It was filled with teenage angst well because I was a teenager. I still have some angst nothing like before though lol. I think it is because now I am not even close to a teenager but I do work with them.
I think one of the reasons why I have trouble with online journaling is that it has been ingrained in me that once it is online it is there forever. I tell that to my students all of the time. You don't know who is out there or who is reading your stuff. So don't put it out there unless you want someone to read it.
As I look over the journal I don't really see anything INCRIMINATING lmao. I think the most embarrassing thing is that I am a 40 year old women obsessed with Harry Potter fan fiction. (blushing)
Hopefully I will be able to get into the journal thing. Becuase I really do love to write and read and all that other stuff. I think it is like everything else you just have to get used to it.
I will say that one thing that happened today that was absolutly fantastic was my sons show at school. I don't know if anyone is familiar with the movie Take the Lead. THe story about Ballroom Dancing in the schools, but my sons school participates in this and this was his year. It was absolutely fantastic. He did a great job. He was also chosen to be one of the representatives in his school to dance at a competition in a week and a half. I was so proud. I really hope he continues with the dancing. He is very good at it. He learned to tango--which was great, Merengue, Fox Trot, Rumba, Swing, and Waltz. I told him knowing how to dance when he gets older will bring allllll the girls to him. I don't know if that hurt or helped since he is only ten right now and girls aren't top priority in his life. We will see.
