Body Language!

Eighth hour was an adventure today as it is most days. The funniest thing about eighth hour today was that even though they made me just about lose my top, it was a really good object lesson for what they were learning about today.

I was trying to get their attention and was also trying to motivate them to take some notes and no matter what I would say, they would not shut up. So, I started wandering around the classroom with my shoulders drooped, sighing, and making a sad face. I walked past one of my students, who very quietly said: "I am so sorry!"

Today we were talking about the five essential things for good communication. So when we got to "body language," I was able to use the example from the beginning of class when they would not listen. It is so nice of my students to give me examples to use while I am teaching them.

Now, if that wasn't being optimistic, I do not know what would be!

I just asked one of my friends what it feels like to be organized. She said that it felt wonderful all the time. I don't think that changes my outlook on being organized. I refuse to do it. I just wanted all of you to know!

I just asked myself how it feels to be random and I answered 64.

Remember to think of the glass as half full and to take your vitamins. I read somewhere that it helps prevent muscle cramps! :)
