One Day At A Time....

As the weather warms We think a bit more Of nature and being outside. We sit on the lawn Relax in the sun And enjoy what the world can provide. Clean air and blue skies Birds and bugs flying buy And yet we are still not content. We just can’t let go Of what computers bestow Oh, look at the time that we’ve misspent Emails and tweeting Everything beeping We wonder why our years are a blur We must take a step back Get our priorities on track And decide what in life really matters? Poem written me, Julie Perry on 3/15/12 for my Reading Poetry class.

I realize I kinda slacked off and just put quotes for the last few blog entries.  But as long as I have a post for every day this year, I'm still on track, right? Today's post about UT is short. I left work a bit early (with permission) to finish (ok, start and finish....) some discussion board posts that I had neglected to do before my 5:45 poetry class. I'm telling you, if I didn't have to take this class, I wouldn't. It's kinda boring, and the teacher is kinda odd. (Why do I get the weird ones?) While logged into BlackBoard, I saw a message from my Intro to Education teacher stating that class was cancelled for the evening! (Yippee!!!!) So I came home and had a realaxing night, and worked on more neglected homework. (See, such an exciting evening.....)

I sit in the front of the classroom in college. It forces me to pay attention instead of goofing off as much. (but in some classes, goofing off with my iPod Touch and UT's free wireless is inevitable.) My poetry class makes me wish to rethink my choice to sit up front. My professor came in, announced that she thinks she cought something from her grandkids and that she didnt feel well. (no, she didnt throw up on me... ewww) but she sat right in front of me for about the entire class. That's just too close especialy if you are sick and reading entire passages from the book out loud.... I need to find some OJ, vitamin C, zinc, etc. I really don't want to get sick.
