I love my job
I am so excited. Not only are my seniors finally coming around and are being talkative ABOUT the literature, they actually seem to be enjoying the class. They loved the creating a map of hell idea. One group has based the whole map off of the Chutes and Ladders game, and have even changed the punishments to a G-rated version such as splintery bridges and squeaky slides. Amazing. And another group decided to use modern day examples in the sinner categories, such as Cartman for a gluttonous sinner and Jehovah Witnesses for heretics I think. I wasn't sure about that one though. They also decided Satan should have elevator access to the different levels of hell, and a little golf cart to carry him around the levels. I'm just so excited because some of these kids are the kids that hated the book in the beginning and now they are starting to like it. Also, some of them are the kids that normally never do work and now they are the ones in charge of the project. I'm so happy about that.
Shakespeare's not going as great, I'm going to have to think up some fun stuff to do in there, those kids are just so quiet. Hmmm...need to put my thinking cap on.
Well, I gotta go, creative writing time, and we're working on descriptive writing. Yay to the tenth power!
I never thought I'd love doing something so much in my whole life as much as I love doing this. I definately made the right choice. I am so happy.
Oh,and sidenote: the previously mentioned guy from my former entry invited Marisa and I to a party today. Unfortunately Marisa couldn't go, but he said to invite me anyway. I can't go either, and I don't think I would want to since I wouldn't know anyone there if Marisa wasn't there. So, I'm going to call the guy tonight and tell him thanks but I can't. Marisa's made it into a big thing because I get all embarrassed when I think about the fact that a guy is actually trying to actively pursue me without my doing anything but being myself. It seems odd really, but I just want to take things one step at a time. Despite some hard days when all I want is someone to cuddle with, I actually really like being single. I like alot of things about being in a relationship, watching a movie all curled up together, having someone to call just because their voice makes you feel better, and of course, the obvious physical benefits of being involved with someone. But part of me is hesitating about this whole thing because I have had so many changes in my life recently I don't want to dive into anything that will take over my life. I'm not sure how to casually date, but that's what I'd like to do if I do anything. I like to flirt, to dance, the excitement of meeting someone new, seeing if they like me, figuring out if I like them, all of that. I've only really been in the dating world about 4 years, because before that I was probably the most reserved and shy person when it came to guys.
Well I guess it isn't something I have to figure out right this second. I know what I want and don't want, and as long as I'm up front with that with this guy or anyone else I should be fine. Sigh. Glad to get my thoughts straight.
Ok, gotta go be dork. Laters peeps.
