Talk about behind the times...
I just heard a David Cook song for the first time ever. I don't watch American Idol, and the pop/alternative station is about 4th in order of preference. His voice isn't what I expected, and I like it, even if the song wasn't anything special.

Overwhelmed...
Last night laying in bed (laying or lying? I'm having deja vu about that question) I was all worked up and anxious. At work...there's just not enough time and not enough patience and not enough of me to go around. A few tests and quizzes (when I manage to collect somethng I can actually take a score from) make me feel like a crappy teacher, but what the kids say makes me think I must be doing okay.

Which leads me to...
In a thinking map I was introducing, I was writing adjectives describing myself. The kids started calling out adjectives like nice, friendly, talented, and insisted on pretty. I was all, ok. I must not be as grumpy as I thought.

Perhaps...
I will go to bed early. Nah, I'll probably finish my book instead. 80 pages left.
