Life

I am enjoying the peace and quiet of the Easter weekend. However, I wish I were in school so that I didnt have to think about that visit.
I can honestly say I feel so much anger, but slowly but surely, these feelings will fade once plans get underway and I start my studies.
I am quite excited about any course of studies that I may understake this year. I think it is about time. I must rise about that horrible first degree and aim for something much higher.

2007 is going to be a year of changes for me...positive changes...I can feel it!

Quality time

The 5 love languages are:
1) Quality time
2) Physical Touch
3) words of affirmation
4) Acts of service
5) gifts

My love language is the first one. Long talks with my boyfriend, chats online with my friends, actual emails. I like to know that my friends are willing to spend time with me. Of course I am understanding that as we get older, time is more scarce. But if someone takes a moment out of the craziness to spend with me, I feel loved.
Physical touch is cool, but I didnt grew up with a lot of hugs. Neither did I grow up with words of affirmation. People tell me nice things, but I does nothing for me because I believe people can always say 'good job' or 'you look nice'

My mother's love language is acts of service. I like when people do things for me, but I feel like I dont want anyone going out of their way for me because I dont want to be a burden.

Again I didnt grow up getting a lot of gifts, plus anyone can buy flowers and chocolates.

Take some time and figure out what your love language is!

wow! Long time!

I have been so tired from work, that I just did not have the desire to post anything in my blog.

Tonight I was looking through Gmail and the name of one of my friends popped up.
Well, I guess she is no longer my friend and to be quite honest, I dont feel a twinge of anything.
She was my friend back in sec school and things were cool all through UWI. Then she went away to study and of course was horrible at keeping in touch. Always promising to improve but efforts were piss poor. Last vacation she comes down and all of a sudden wants to lime. I might be a lil different, but, you cant communicate with me all year but yuh find time to send me an email telling me you in the country?
I have a problem with that. A SERIOUS problem!
I sent back an email saying that I hope she enjoys her stay, blah blah blah.
Apparently she was not too pleased by this response. I called and left messages. Yuh know she didnt return my calls??? AHAHAHAHAHA!
steups.

At this time in my life, friends are very important. I doh make joke with that.

school blues

So the second month of the year is here already. My birthday is this month and I am kinda of excited. I like my birthday.

I am enjoying 2007. It's been a good year so far. School has been quite frustrating and no it's not the students. I will always go on record as saying that I am by no means a perfect teacher. I have a long way to go when it comes to my style and methodologies, however, I am always willing to learn, improve.
That way of thinking isnt so common I guess. People are not willing to look within and say I did shit.

*sigh*

Laughable yes

Have you ever had a friend call you and then he/she does not talk? You end up having to carry the conversation? LOL I have a friend like that. She calls, she doesnt say anything. You talk to her online, she answers using two words/three words. In person she's cool though, thank goodness.

So I got a headsup today that one of my friends is upset with me because I didnt indicate that I wanted to lime when she came down for Christmas. I got an email on the 19th saying that she was coming in...OK.I called after Christmas TWICE leaving voice mail messages plus I sent three emails.No response.
Well then...FUCK OFF!!!!!!! What de ass??? I must lick your ass because you come down for a few days? STEUPS!!!!!!!! People reeeeeediculous in this place yuh know ( I know ridiculous is spelt with an I). Anyway...one less.....

Happy New Year!

So 2007 has finally arrived.

How would I rank 2006? It was a good year. I felt I didnt accomplish anything much, but I saw small successes.
At least 2006 has shown me who my true blue friends are and I appreciate that fully.

2007 is going to be a year of beginnings and I look forward to that as well.

spell check, anyone?

I hate bad spelling.
Now there is supposedly a disability called dysgraphia.

Symptoms of dysgraphia
A mixture of upper/lower case letters, irregular letter sizes and shapes, unfinished letters, struggle to use writing as a communications tool, odd writing grip, many spelling mistakes (sometimes), pain when writing, decreased or increased speed of writing and copying, talks to self while writing, and general illegibility. Reluctance or refusal to complete writing tasks.

I remember giving a Spanish test and students had to give me the english for los patines which is roller skates. I teach 2 form two classes and in both of them, students could not spell roller skates.It's amazing. Children are coming into sec school not being able to spell. They also going in to the workplace not being able to spell either then come on internet forums and irritate the hell out of me.

fuckers

I hate when I tell people good news and their response is a very lacklustre one. I sent out an email telling people about something that is great in my life and only my true friends were genuinely happy.

Ah well...I guess that is how it goes, but at least it gives me an indication....
