i have my teacher education class once a week, and once a week i am in an elementary school working one-on-one with a fifth grader. every time i am in class and/or at my field placement, i realize how much i miss my summer job. i miss my kids so much. i miss my coworkers even more. i am learning so much in my class & i can't wait to go back to work and actually apply some of it. seriously, i have the best summer job known to man.
speaking of my fantastic summer colleagues, ms. katie asked me today to play on a softball team with her this summer. i haven't played softball since i was in sixth grade. honestly though, i would be totally pumped if we actually do this. we make the biggest fools out of ourselves at volleyball, i can't wait until we're in a real competition and laughing our asses off the entire time. so yeah, i guess i'm playing softball this summer?
something ridiculous happened to me today. i was walking from the international center to bessey after lunch, and there is always jesus freaks in that stretch of campus. i was smoking a cigarette, and the song on my ipod had just ended. as soon as i walk by said freaks, i hear them yelling at me. no, screaming at me. they're screaming, "PUT AWAY THAT CIGARETTE! FIND GOD! YOU WILL GO STRAIGHT TO HELL IF YOU KEEP UP THAT SIN! JESUS WILL HATE YOU; HE HATES SINNERS!" i was a mixture of laughter and shock. i could NOT believe these people. i called jim immediately after, and he was as appalled (and humored) as i was. he said i should've turned around and screamed "EFF YOU AND EFF GOD." these people portray themselves as christ-like and full of religion, and they're screaming that jesus will hate me? that i will go to hell? god, it is reasons like that which stear me away from religion at all. i mean, granted, as kate pointed out, not everyone/religion is like that, but it is horrible that some are. jesus. [pun intended].
my dad is amazing. i got my tax returns recently, and i was going to use them to buy a portable dvd player to use at work. well, needless to say, dad ended up fronting me the money to buy it now and is letting me pay him back this summer. he gives me so much, i am so lucky to have a father that is as unselfish as he is.
kanye west did not win best album. effing U2 did. he was robbed.
i was ridiculously happy that kelly clarkson won two. she deserved them. yeah, she's a guilty pleasure of mine.
and with that, i say goodnight
