Halloween is NOT tonight. It's actually on Tuesday. But, since that is a work/school night, and tonight is also the night we set the clocks back, people are going to be celebrating this pseudo-holiday this evening. I am writing before to make some "inferences," if you will. That is what we are talking about in Reading right now at school, so I think I am going to practice, so I can tell my kids that even I inferred this weekend.
Well, inferences start with facts, and then, based on one's own experiences, an inference can be made. So, here goes...
Fact: Adults do not normally get the chance to dress up.
My own experience: If I had the opportunity to dress up without appearing "weird," I would (but I'm not going to).
INFERENCE: The adults are going to be dressed up like woah tonight.
Fact: Adults can drink legally.
My own experience: Any special occasion/holiday is even more reason to drink.
INFERENCE: The adults are going to be insanely intoxicated tonight.
Fact: Daylight Savings Time ends tonight.
My own experience: Because of the extra hour, Daylight Savings Time is time to stay up and do things that you normally wouldn't have the time to do.
INFERENCE: The adults are going to stay up and act a fool tonight.
See... this is what I think is going to happen tonight. Drunk, crazed individuals, staying up way past normal hours. Amusing, prolly... I'll let y'all know...

been almost a month...
...and I suck, I know.
With school (teaching it and taking classes), it's just been really crazy. Every chance I get, I take it easy... lounging on the couch... vegging around. It's great... when I get the chance.
I nap/lounge just about every evening when I am free from the hustle and bustle of the day, but it seems like I always wake up tired.
It's all good though, because 4th grade this year is almost perfect. Okay, it really isn't... but today, I realized that it is a lot better than I realized. One of my most difficult students to deal with withdrew... and I hate to say it, but I am kinda glad. Geez... he wasn't "bad," just really needy in the sense that he would be all up in my personal space asking questions that the other kids could either figure out on their own, or they just didn't think were pressing enough.
So, now I have 18 students... with one named Derrick being the most difficult. He's not horrible... just a CLOWN. But you know, as a whole, I LOVE this bunch of kids. They really love me too, which is the cool thing. The difference between these and my class from last year is that last year, there was so much hatred amongst them... and they were pretty far from being children. They were so grown... This year, I have kids... that play make-believe and run around being silly... not dramatic. It's nice... and good.
As for grad school, I am loving that too. I just got done with Educational Leadership this week... with another A, mind you. Yep. I am currently holding a 3.9 in grad school... and honestly loving it. The last class has also opened my eyes to a new career direction. I know I used to say that I wasn't interested... but my interest has definitely been peaked. I think I want to go into administration... being an assistant principal, to be exact. I couldn't do the principal thing. No. We'll see...
As for other things, AMAZINGLY and PERFECTLY HAPPY and CONTENT being SINGLE...
::hold on... what the hell does Carrie Bradshaw have on? I'm watching Sex and the City, and this heifa has on 3 toned tights a big ugly 80s sweater and a completely random blue bandana.::
Anyway, yeah... single. It's nice... 'cause I don't have to be accessible if I don't wanna be. And no, I still don't have an exorbitant amount of friends, which I am dealing with, but I have made what seems to be a really great friend, who is also a Clemson Alum (by the way, Clemson is so just perfect right now... GO TIGERS!), and there's always Steven. We went out to Downtown Alive last weekend... and had a SUPER time... so super, in fact, that I overdrafted on my bank account (which I honestly did... no fraud committed this time). Yeah, so good bank breaking time.
Anyway, tomorrow is the last day of school for the week... even though I have professional development on Friday... at least Friday is payday, and I won't be in the red anymore. w00t for that.
Good times.
