Had a Ball

Hey ya'll. (Unfortunate rhyme.)

This weekend was great. The girl that I am seeing came with me to the "Hospice Gala", which was a formal event in town. (I know, I know...I didn't think that there were formal events in town, either, but I learned otherwise.)

Saturday night a bunch of people went out, and that was fun. A friend, who is usually very rough and not mindfull of social norms and accepted levels of behavior become--in his inebriated state--quite open about his feelings towards those around him. He basically just opened up about how important our friendship was, and other miscilaneous (sp?) things. Fun times.

Last night the girl bought me dinner, (which was AWESOME!) and then she came over to my house and we watched Love Actually (GREAT movie) and just relaxed together. She studied, I read, it was a good time.

All right...we're counting down to spring break now...just four and a half more days! (c;

Whoo hoo!!!!!!!

I'm SO tired...

I was out really late last night. I'm tired. Ugh.

history

So, today was cool...my class has been watching the Steve Fossett flight intently for the past two days, and today was got to see him land. It was neat. I compare it to Lindbergh landing after flying the first transatlantic flight oh-so-long ago.

Actually, I'm still bitter about the Challenger. You see, when I was in school, when the Challenger exploded, my class wasn't watching. I mean, c'mon! That's history in the making!!!! If it had gone well, it would have been an amazing thing for a first grader like me to see! And, my class was the only one not watching...I just think that there are more important things than sticking to a strict curriculum REGARDLESS of whatever else may be going on. So, there. My justification for watching CNN for an hour and a half with my fifth graders. (c;

Ok. Well, going to see Caberat tonigh, which will be fun. Then, I'm going to a "gala" tomorrow, which will be cool. B, the girl I've been seeing, has a new dress, and I"m going to get all dressed up...it'll be good times. (c;

All right. Well, have a great day!

Writing

Well, today has gone well so far. We had an assembly about summer school, and that was kind of exciting. I'm looking forward to it. I love teaching, and summer school is somewhat of a "no pressure" teaching situation, plus, it's great money. (c;

I got to start writing today. I've had an idea for a story that I thought sounded really interesting, and I've been putting off starting on it; but today, I just said, "what the heck" and began. I decided I had a feeling for one scene in my mind, and I just started there. I don't want to say too much about it, but I've got that first scene kind of well sketched out now. I need to spend some time brainstorming and defining where I want to go...most of what I've written prior to this has been essayish vignettes about my view on different things. This is really different...I have to define the story, and see how it's going to play out. Also, my character, well, we have some definite similarities, but it's not autobiographical, so that's kind of new.

Anyway, that's cool. Oh, and I'm going to a ball this weekend with the girl I've started dating. (c; Fun, fun!

More later! (Look at this, two days in a row! One more and I'm on a streak!)
