i laugh. because its funny!
i dont understand how people dont laugh,
WHEN SOMETHING IS FUNNY!
i guess i am just a VERY easily entertained person.
actually i KNOW i am a very easily entertained person...
i will laugh at the stupidest things, simply because i ACTUALLY find them hilarious.
all i am saying is the movie When in Rome is hilarious
i laughed a lot.
i mean, a lot a lot.
it was just soooo great.
a bit cheesy, and definitely some really dumb parts
but i just thought it was adorable
and Amelia, Melissa and I just laughed our way through the WHOLE thing.
people probably stared and were most likely annoyed at us,
but i dont care
cause i bet you a million dollars i had a much better time
than ANY of them did.
:)

with like...a real job
2 days ago was my half birthday...
and in 6 months i will be 22
just randomly thought about that.
but it is a strange thought really.
cause soon after that i have to be a "real" "grown-up"
not just "grown up livin on my own"
but a REAL grown up
with like...a real job
:S
this is so weird to me
especially this semester where we have been non-stop talking
about our strategies as teachers
and where i have started planning out my entire 1st day of school schedule
this is just strange!
i have been a student since i was 6 years old
and now i have to be the TEACHER
oh brother
im in for an adventure!
good thing i love what im doing!
seriously
just randomly thought about that.

what do you want to do before you die?
my project for the year has been to find things that make me happy.
i also have made the goal to work at my bucket list
and accomplish things that bring me joy
and that i can be proud of further down the road.
so i find it quite interesting that Amelia and I just
happened to come across this show on mtv.
i mean how fantastic is this?
4 kids traveling across the country
in a big purple bus, named penelope,
crossing off 100 things they want to do before they die
and the best part is that for every thing they cross off their list,
they help some random stranger cross an item off of theirs.
now thats just inspiring...
this week on their list was to give a toast at a strangers wedding...
holy funny :)
and then they found a street artist and asked him what he wants to do before he dies
this man said that he hadnt seen his son in 17 years
so the boys set out to find him.
seriously so amazing
i was in tears,
here is the follow up story.
ahhh, how great is this show?!

this inspired me..
this is jason mraz's latest blog post on facebook...call me a nerd, but i love what he has to say. i dont always agree with his "worldly views" but his posts always make me step back and think about what i belive in and what i find important in my life. This post is just great...think about what he has to say on this, the 25th of January 2010...
"I admit it. I am Twitterly Challenged. It is all too often I view the Twitter world forum as a streaming version of a bathroom wall – a place to pee, see, and share; a place of clever poetry, shout-outs, offers, introductions and slams. This kind of mentality doesn’t get me very far and my drivel is reduced to just that – toilet humor.
So I am constantly reinventing it as a medium in which to share resourceful, inspiring and/or humorous ideas. I make-up that it can be a condensed version of a TED conference if we choose it, and yet I also make-up in my mind that the majority of Twitterers post but don’t actually peruse. I make that up because I am one of those people. Indeed, Twitter is my men’s room wall and in 140 spaces or less, I place my Sharpee where my spirit is and seldom look back. God Bless all those who read it – who need it or not – And I pray you have a nice day.
Yesterday I Twitted – twittered – tweeted (which reminds me – I wish this powerful means of connection had been given a cooler name… like Stall Street Journal or something more suitable and snooze-able) So yesterday in the Stall Street Journal I wrote a few of my perspectives on the Snooze Button – that device which offers a 2% chance of returning to your dreams and a 98% chance of non-fulfillment on your real ones. This morning as I hit the snooze alarm again, I got present to what it really is: a Procrastination Button.
If you’re like me and you set the alarm an hour early because you know you’re going to hit the snooze and sleep longer – I invite you to explore where else in your life that mentality shows up for you. Do you put off doing projects until the last minute? Do you often oversleep your project deadlines? Are your dreams altered by your scattered attention to more than one reality? Do you blame the alarm clock for not performing its function successfully? Who else do you blame?
Wake up and smell your finger.
It’s Monday - The perfect day to make bold new declarations - The best week ever to check in on your New Year’s Resolutions and Commitments. What else could you take on this week to make your life and the life of others Great?

SHOCKED? ya, so am i. i mean come on. morning time? pshh.
but i AM getting credit for my minor with this class but thats not why i am taking it this semester. i had it all worked out to take online over the summer, no sweat. but that wouldnt have been worth it.
why you ask?
because its a musical theater class....
taught by michael ballam.
i mean COME ON.
(if you have no idea who he is, dont tell me cause i will cry)
it was hard the 1st week because he was "away" on "university business" (whatever that means) so we watched previously recorded lectures on video...*snooze*
BUT he taught the full class period today, and let me just say that it was the best way to start out my morning. there is nothing greater than starting the morning discussing the wide spectrum of PURE GREATNESS called showtunes, like defying gravity, and give my regards to broadway then Oh, Promise Me and countless others (believe me you want me to stop there)
that man has an endless supply of wisdom and talent...i just cant get over it.
best class ever.
and let me just say, i LOVE the textbook.
