Last night I dreamt my teeth were falling out. Normally when that happens, I have to make a decision I do not like. Rather, I make a decision that I’m not comfortable with or that I have to bend or be more flexible about. I don’t know if that’s always the way things work. Sometimes, it’s just that I have to make a very difficult decision. Usually ( Read more... )

I took two classes on teaching English Language Learners (ELL). I don’t want to write another paper about how to help. I’ve already written more than ten. They all say the same thing. The more exposure and use the child gets out of a language the better. This is true for anyone! I don’t want to find 5-7 articles in the library to prove my point ( Read more... )

My writing is going fairly well. I’m really excited. I’ve been working on it a lot more! I feel a lot more excited about writing the novel. I had so many ideas when I first started out the planning. And so many of them changed, in fact, only one of my characters from the original idea is there (well in essence he’s still there, he’s changed quite a ( Read more... )

My alarm keeps me from being disoriented most mornings when I wake up. It’s been very helpful. There are some mornings, though, where the alarm wakes me up in the middle of a dream. The disorientation from that is so much more than normal and is usually coupled by nausea. It’s a really odd feeling, I know I’m awake but it’s odd that I didn’t quite ( Read more... )

I wish that when mom wanted someone to do something with her that she would say so rather than start bawling. Yesterday I spent most of the day visiting relatives because my great aunt is ill (severely so, as we went to say our goodbyes). I’m tired today from it and I’d really like to sleep. I don’t know that sleep would help out, but my mind is ( Read more... )

Lately, I’ve been less focused about what I need to do and instead just do it. This has particularly been beneficial for my writing. I feel like I’m moving forward much easier than before. I love it! I need to come up with names for some characters though. Currently they’re listed by title and I’d really rather not do that. I want them to be at ( Read more... )

1. The only writing I've done lately is for papers and my novel. I love it! I think I've missed a couple of days from being so tired when I get home, though! But, I'm more or less keeping to my writing "daily"! But you know it wasn't until this year that I botched the writing daily thing and it was well after July 5. So, I'd written every day for 6 ( Read more... )

AH! New class starts today; I’m both excited and overwhelmed. They really expect us to hit the ground running. Good thing I’ve already been in the classrooms I’m going to be doing my practicum hours in. That’ll make some assignments this week (specifically) much easier. I think I might go in tomorrow (Friday) to try and talk to the Principal or ( Read more... )
