this is in my head

"He looked like an angle mostly because the inside was so dark and it was sunny outside creating a shine behind him, like I would imagine an angle would look like coming out of heaven."

also

"The souls of my shoes started to melt." This student also "concurred a beast."

...........................................................................

Listening to Adele again. I know it's not healthy, but at least this time it's "Set Fire to the Rain," which is pretty much the best song I've listened to all day. It might be the only song I've listened to today.

.........................................................................

I was teaching today, with this exercise where students write questions down about the current assignment, but because I've usually already answered these questions ten times, I have the class answer as a "panel" of "experts." It's a good use of a class period, if only because it makes them realize that they know what they're doing--at least in theory. And it went well today. Very well, even. Until I completely lost it when a nice, unassuming student was answering a question. And by lost it, I mean that I laughed. Hysterically. Turned red. No reason, really. Just wild, lovely, manic laughter at the worst time possible.

At least I didn't swear at the kid.

.......................................................................

I've realized, once again, that I am a lonely person. The problem with being lonely is that you get bored, fast. I actually tried to watch "Extreme Couponing" today, but that might be what brought on the aforementioned hysterical laughter. So I need friends. Angles need not apply.

I have no difficulty imagining you bursting into laughter at the most inopportune time--in fact I can even hear you laughing hysterically. Makes me want to laugh.

Time to start deducting points for spelling and punctuation (or lack thereof) errors.

I SO wish I lived in the Provo area--I would love to apply to be your friend. I'm lonely too....in fact, I was crying in self pity when I randomly decided to open my computer and read your blog. For some reason hearing that you're lonely too, made me feel slightly less lonely. Maybe because we're lonely together? Ha ha...in any case, I love your blog and I love you! Hope this week is a great one =)
