2009

So, it is 2009 and I have already out blogged 2008, but I blogged over 100 times in 2007. I don't know if I can beat that. I'm not on track to do so. I am nearing 30, but it is nearing the end of August. It doesn't help that I can't blog during After School Care. That would be my traditional blogging time. I thrive on getting paid to blog.

Life is life. There is not much else to say. FB/Twitter do not hold enough space in their little updates to convey what I feel. Can a blog do better? Perhaps, after much rambling.

I have been pretty cynical and perfectionist lately. Not about a lot of stuff that has no real set standard, but about stuff that does have meaning...and that mostly boils down to grammar and words. Try this one: "I enjoy Sundays after church." Yeah, but that just makes me wonder if you don't like church. "Can you guess . . . ?" Yes, or no, and since most of us are capable, then yes. Don't guess; we weren't asked to do that.

Spelling mistakes everyone makes...but they shouldn't; seems more so when they are the head of the English department and giving a handout to the entire upper school, but again, it happens. I don't teach English, so I shouldn't criticize. Too late I guess.

Truth project might get moved to a Thursday. Don't hold your breath, but it might. For those who were unaware, the Truth Project was scheduled 3:30 on Mondays. That conflicted with my After School Care. The one in January was scheduled for Wednesdays. Yeah, I still go to church on Wednesday. Apparently Idlewild has done something with their Wednesday services that meant the school could do this.

(I will forgo the note about "Idle" "wild" tonight...I need to get to bed soon. Yes, I understand the history, but still, it could warrant a note if I had the time.)

So, there were jokes about me losing my job next year since I won't be going to either of those. My principle made it clear today that it didn't matter how long you had been saved, or how smart you were, you were expected to go. I asked someone that was currently going how it was and he said "simple." He said that the discussion afterward was pretty good. But what that means I think I have discussed enough before. Besides, people tend to be abrasive to the person that acts like he is right, and knows he is right. It generally doesn't make any difference if he really is or not, they just go to auto-oppose. Just because I know I'm right doesn't make me less right. . .and I don't want to do this thing. Of course, she knew I was going to sign up and its on Wednesday anyway and I spoke to her about it, so if it doesn't change then next year she will really really encourage me to do it. /grin

"On purpose" AND "By accident" NOT "By purpose" AND NOT "On accident"

"Raise animals" AND "Bring up children" DO NOT "Raise children."

Technically, this means you can "raise 'kids.'" But really, that just gets messy.

I suppose that there are others, that I commit regularly. I apologize. Let me know, too. I find that I am comma happy sometimes. And I use ellipses far too often. But that is my conversational style of writing -- meh.

Have I gone through all those before? Probably.

School starts in the morning. I'm scared and nervous. I am still missing a book, and I don't have a computer. On top of it all, I have extra responsibilities that are new to me that will leech my time. Yet, here is where God put me, and I better to what I do with all my might.

My wife was a big help with decorating my room. My sister-in-law helped too. Thanks so much!

No news from MBBC. How am I supposed to finish my MA this way?

Time to go. Goodnight.
