Crayons can melt on us for all I care

The most difficult thing for me to learn in a very long time has been patience. I need to do things, to be active. I've never been content to just sit back and let things happen, but in my need to be in control of things I often overcompensate and make a bigger mess than likely would have happened on its own. But, I'm learning. Every day I get a little bit better at not doing things and instead letting them unfold however they will. Things will turn out the right way, in time, if I just wait.

I don't love you.

This video is beautiful.

Vote 4 Arthas. KEK.

This just made my day. Bathroom stall literature is almost always a fascinating read, but what I saw today just outshone everything previously encountered. Amidst all the anti-Palin rhetoric was scrawled "Wrath of the Lich King > Everything else." The fact that I saw it today, of all days, just adds to the amazing-ness. The excitement builds.

Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Today, well tonight, after class, I went straight to the bookstore to pick up Gregory Maguire's third book in The Wicked Years (Wicked, Son of a Witch); A Lion Among Men. I've only read about thirty pages so far, but it has been an amazing thirty pages. His books motivate me to tell stories, but at the same time make writing feel so very out of my league. Maguire's ability to take a children's story and create a massive world teeming with political turmoil is just mind-boggling. Unless George R.R. Martin's A Dance of Dragons magically releases this year, this will be the best book I will read all year.

I've known for some time that I'd be getting a MacBook at the end of the semester, but today it got even better. Apple introduced the brand new MacBook today and it is completely amazing. Better than the current model in every way, it's also aesthetically improved. The darn thing is gorgeous. Besides the fact that it will give me access to better programs to use as teaching tools, I can't wait to play WoW on a system that can actually handle the game.

Speaking of WoW, today is also the big pre-WotLK patch, which means massive failure. The servers have been up and down all day, so I have been unable to try out all the cool new features. As excited as I am about going full Protection (and still being able to do damage!), I'm mostly wanting to be able to log in and check out the Barbershop feature. Gnome with a Mohawk? That's a resounding yes. Alas, it'll have to wait until tomorrow. BRC.

I'm an addict for dramatics, I confuse the two for love

Last year, today was better.

Try to remember, forget.

I want to be Max Bemis.

The finest line divides a night well spent from a waste of time.

So I have a ton ton ton of stuff I need to today because I blew it all off over the weekend. If I don't write it down where I can easily find it later, I'll probably forget something. My memory tends to not be very great.

• Classroom Management Plan Paper (6-8 pages)
• Journal Reflections (for this week and last week)
• Take the Ed Psych online exam
• Revise our lesson plan draft

Okay so that's only four things, but some of them are going to take a long time. Honestly, I planned to do so much work yesterday but ended up just listening to music and dancing around my apartment (and scaring the heck out of luna) instead. I didn't even play WoW, which I'm starting to get bored with anyway. I feel like I need a lot of attention and get bored with things really easily. Ugh.
