Banjos and Bellyaches



Enjoy the picture of the banjo! Over and over and over and over and over and over again!

My internet connection at home is kinda on the fritz. Yes, you do get what you pay for and I do not pay very much. Like nothing even!

I bought a banjo. No, I do not know how to play the banjo, but I do plan on taking lessons this next year. That picture takes place in my new bedroom. That is my blue accent wall. No, it is not a Scottish accent wall...it is Austrailan, can't you tell. It took me many long hours to get that painted and I intend on spending many quality hours in that room. Hours spend well...like sleeping. Which is something I should be doing right now but instead I am trying to get all my pictures to publish and only one will. Life is hard. Don't worry, I will find a way to get you a true virtual tour of the place. Too bad my school district thinks that blogging is evil as well as any site that lets you publish pictures...or else this would totally be a piece of cake to get done. I have learned that I really am not a fan of censorship! They might as well burn all the books in the schools' libraries too because I am sure they could offend somebody!

School is school. We are slowly getting into the swing of things....for example, today, after one whole week with students, I finally got to calmly help a student get his act together. I can truly see when things are getting to normal when they start to act up. I didn't know if I was up for the challenge, but don't you worry, teacher Alice was right there waiting to go to work. The little twerp with the bad attitude perked right up after a good talking to! Go me!

I do love my new Freshmen. They are going to be a good group again. I really do like my job. My roommate was right, after a little time I get right back into it and can handle it mentally. I love that about me!

I miss my mom. Is that okay to admit on a blog? I hope so. I sure had a good time with her this summer and sometimes it is hard to be back here all on my own without a built in social entitiy. But I am slowly getting back into the swing of things here too and making myself get out and be social.

Well, I guess it is well past the bed time, and I will be very tempted to read a bit in the fourth Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants!

Have a great day or night or midmorning!
