I don't know if twitter is reinforcing my natural tendency to write laconically, or if my brain is just exhausted from all the political and religious and personal stuff that has been battered about in my mind lately. Whatever it is, I cannot bring myself to string together a well thought-out post. And yet, its been a few days since I have posted, and I need to keep myself writing. So, for your reading pleasure annoyance tolerance whatever, here are some of my current disjointed thoughts.
Three things I am tired of:
- Hip celebrity videos like this one (disclaimer, includes the f*bomb)
- Politicians that say "nook-yoo-ler"
- People who are so partisan that they automatically take things said by members of their political opposition in the worst possible way instead of trying to understand, think critically or give people the benefit of the doubt. This is done widely on both sides, and it is starting to sicken me.
Three things I am excited about:
- My niece's wedding
- Autumn and all the Halloween activities coming up - pumpkin patches and costume parties and bonfires!!!
- This movie:
What are you tired of? What are you excited about?

School. Anxiety problems. Waking up at 5am every day. Failing to manage my time properly. Not having time to visit out of state friends. All the nonsense that comes with getting certified.
Excited about:
2 day mini conference about science/environment education! (Project WET, Project Wild and Project Learning Tree, have you heard of them?) Stocking up in preparation for making Christmas presents. And, I finished my mom's chemo quilt!! Yay! I have (ahem, at least) 4 more quilts to make this year. Yikes!

Well said about the partisanship blinding people. I can't wait until the election is over.
