Made me smile

I tutor math in the morning. I have about 5-8 kids who rotate through my class and come an hour before school four days a week to do math with me. I treat them well, we do breakfast every so often. I mean, they are getting up early to do math. It has been great [...]

Note to others

Do not park in my parking spot at my apartment complex. I don’t like it. Especially when I’m getting home late and I’m tired.
Note to the guy with the really big pick-up truck: Do not park in other people’s parking spots, especially when you are taking up two spots, so that they have to park [...]

The changing world

There are those who say that change is inevitable so we should just accept it, even, embrace it. The world is becoming more vulgar and immoral, and there is nothing we can do to stop it, so we should not even try.
But change is not always good. And just because everyone else is doing it, [...]

Don’t doubt me

It really annoys me when people doubt what I know. I admit I do not know everything, nobody can. But there are certain things I do know, and know with absolute surety. I wish people would stop doubting me on those things.
Very little of what I know with such surety is what can be learned [...]

I love what I do

We all have those days where you wonder if what you are doing is worth it. As a teacher I wonder if they are really learning anything, am I making a difference, will they remember what I taught them. But every so often something happens that makes me think they really are learning and it [...]

Graduation

I graduated from phsyical therapy on Monday. I’m about 98% better. There is still a bit of tightness in my ankle, but I’ve come far enough that I can get the rest of the way on my own. It’s been almost three months since I first sprained it. And it wasn’t even that bad of [...]

Root beer

Some times you just need a good glass of root beer. There is a 2 liter bottle of A&W root beer in the faculty room. It’s so nice to go in there and just get a glass between classes.
I’m drinking water too because that is good for me. But the root beer tastes good, so [...]

Just need to ramble

Do you ever feel the need to ramble? Like you have so many thoughts and half thoughts crowding up your head you just need to get some of them out so you can make room for the important stuff. I get that way some times. There is so much going on inside my head that [...]

Calm morning

As I was driving to work this morning, I noticed something unusual. I was calm. I was relatively well rested. And I was calm. I hate mornings. I am not a morning person. I delay mornings as much as possible. And it doesn’t help any that when I wake up my apartment is cool and [...]

Noise – Part 2

I was looking in my scriptures today, at all the things I’ve written in them. I’ve had them for almost five years now. They look well loved. It makes me smile.
At the front I have written a few quotes I’ve found that touched me and I wanted to be able to return to easily. The [...]
