Posting from my phone and seeing if it works.

When Words Fail To Come
I have had this window open for over an hour and I just don’t know exactly what to write. Things are crazy at Che Finley, as the new semester has started and is underway. School is good and things are progressing. I am so ready to be done, but can’t think about that now as I work on a research project that will hopefully get me published. Already the mantra “publish or perish” is now a common part of my lexicon and I’m not even finished with my PhD yet. What a live I have chosen. Sorry hubby, school will always be apart of my life.
So, in lieu of anything profound or even remotely interesting–here are some pics of the kids. Who really make it all worth wild.
Back To Crazy–How I Didn’t Miss You
Well, the new semester is back in full swing and it already has me completely over scheduled. How does that happen not even a week into it? My calendar is quickly running out of white space.
I have to say, I really did enjoy my break–although I spent most of it working, it was nice to not have to leave the house to get work done. It was also nice not to have papers to grade. Can you believe, I already have grading to do? I know. What am I thinking, giving them work already. I have had one student in my online class actually ask me to reconsider the amount of work they had to do during the first week of class. Thank goodness it was an email and she didn’t see me laughing hysterically.
I am sure things are only going to get crazier as my research study picks up, the class that I am taking actually starts and my hubby quickly tires of me being over scheduled. Ah, the glamorous life. It almost makes me miss waiting tables…almost.
Utter Devestation
I have lived through a 7.0 earthquake in California my hubby lived through the 89 earthquake in –and that experience cannot for a second compare to what has happened in Haiti. This is a horrendous tragedy. If you are looking for ways to help–click here. I am keeping everyone effected–the millions effected–in my thoughts. My worries about my LASIK today seem small compared to the struggles and tragedy faced by those in Haiti. Everything I worry about in my life today seems insignficant compared to what has happened to a nation that only less than 2 years ago–faced 4 hurricanes. If you can help Haiti in anyway please do.
Hmmm…Their English Teachers Must Be Appalled
Texas has, in their haste to prevent homosexuals from bringing down civilized society, decided (in 2005) that all marriage shall be prohibited. I know hilarious.
- Proposition
- Prop. 2 – The constitutional amendment providing that marriage in this state consists only of the union of one man and one woman and prohibiting this state or a political subdivision of this state from creating or recognizing any legal status identical or similar to marriage.
How blinded by hate they must have been to just say “no more marriage.” Even though, it appears that they didn’t know they said that. I am sure people have continued to get married in Texas since this constitutional amendment was passed in 2005. I feel bad for those of you this affects. Hope you hadn’t been saving yourself for marriage, since the geniuses running Texas wrote a prop, that the people of the great state of Texas adopted that says “no more marriage.”
This is just another example how little critical thinking we use as a society and what little attention we actually pay to what is going on in our world/government. If they say—it bans gay marriage, they say–yay. Without even reading it. How our education system has failed. It it isn’t a multiple choice test, we apparently don’t know what to do.
