The Soap Opera I call life.....

Well it is Friday!!!! How wonderful is that? My only problem is that I have to work tonight. That royally sucks. The Depot spoiled me giving me two friday's off in a row. Oh well I shouldn't complain I do have Saturday off......wow a whole day off. I could have used this somewhere in the middle of the semester not at the end. I have next Sunday off too..Maybe I will find someone who wants to go to the Renaissance Festival with me. I love going it is always a blast. I talked to the guy who owns the castle where they hold it and he said that there are some new shows this year.

Well I got some news last night that I found absolutely hilarious. So I saw Kristoffer in the back of his parents car the other day....come to find out his clutch went out. That just made my day yesterday. He doesn't have me to drive him around......for me that is a thank goodness.

I wonder if my aunt still wants me to show Em around campus. School is almost out.

I heard a really good poem yesterday. It was about how poetry should be read and taught.

Introduction to poetry


I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide

or press an ear against its hive.

I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,

or walk inside the poem's room
and feel the walls for a light switch.

I want then to waterski
across the surface of a poem
waving at the author's name on the shore.

But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with a rope
and torture a confession out of it.

They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means.

I thought that poem was cute. Well today is the last day in my Survey of the Exceptional Child. Our last test and I will be through with it. My YOED teacher said that she wasn't having a final so that is another one I don't have to worry about. It is wonderful. Now I will only have two classes to think about. Oh well I need to go get ready for school...
