OMG!

I'm having one of those days. It's 12:34PM, I just made big glass of iced coffee, but I'm still in my jammies with literally one mediocre clean outfit left to wear to hip hop today. I keep thinking that it's very comfortable on the couch and since my knees hurt, maybe I can just cancel class today.

However, I did the nice "butter-em-up" trick yesterday so I can give my students the departmental evaluations today and also, we have very little time left before their final projects and their showings. The butter trick was meeting with each poetry group indvidually yesterday and letting them each know that they got an A and asking a few groups to perform their poems for the showing.  They all left class with smiles on their faces.

Nice, huh?

For the past 2 nights I got home from class and just about crashed. Tuesday I made myself some dinner and poured a glass of wine and was asleep within 30 minutes. Last night I made plans with Sara Zimmerman to talk about DRA 141, but she also invited Christine Chen so it mostly was a jam session on our teaching experiences and Sara getting some exercises from Christine.  The 3 of sat on the lawn in Central Park after getting some food at the Farmer's Market.  It was super crowded so I went to the place with the shortest line -- a little Indian stand and got a naan wrap with veggies and lamb.  I wanted to wash it down with a little lemonade, but all of the lines were just too long and I needed to pop a squat.

Tonight I am heading over to JTs to watch Batman Begins, since I didn't realize there was a prequel to The Dark Knight when I saw it with Tony in the theatre last weekend.

I'm not only dim, but also a wimp. Maybe I really should stay in my pajamas! Anything to avoid a little laundry.

You Are Occasionally a Wimp


You're pretty tough in every day life. You don't back down easily.  However, you can be a wimp at times, especially in stressful situations.  You can be overwhelmed or intimidated or just plain scared when life gets rough.  While these are natural reactions, you may want to face your fears a little more.
