one step at a time

when finals make you feel like you're drowning and dying,

polarbear at SD zoo last year! (:

remember: take it one step at a time

colorado stair thingies

and before you know it, you'll reach the top!

crazy. it looks so pretty from the top too. but this is like 1/3 of it i think?

my bestfriend! (:

guys that are streetsmart, are cutesmart.

i've been doing some thinking. some researching and some writing. and:

not sure if this is my research topic, but im trying to see if there's a correlation between classroom noise level and a sense of urgency (in regards to turning in assignments) felt by students in the 6th grade art class i tutor at. when the class is given an assignment, usually the teacher lets the students loose and free to work on their own. however, depending on the "urgency" of an assignment (when it's due), the interaction level among students vary. why is it sometimes students stay in their seat and work silently but other times students are aware that its okay to whisper among their tablemates? or what gives the students the understanding that its okay to turn it up a notch and talk loudly and even lean back in their chairs to interact with students at different tables.. and under what circumstances do students find it okay to walk around the classroom to talk to other classmates?

how do these students understand the informal rules that exist in the classroom, and when do these rules become active/ who calls for these rules to exist and be implemented in the classroom? im guessing it depends (to both students and teacher) on the immediacy of the assignment. meh?

what bs huh. 

sounds like common sense and after 8 weeks i STILL cant come up with a more clever topic. so that's what i've been up to. but what i really wanted to write about is: SLEEP.

it seems that i get the best sleep, not when i'm wrapped like a burrito in my blanket in my bed, but when i'm awkwardly trying to find a comfortable yet appropriate sitting-position in my classroom desk.

i LOVE sleeping in class. 5 minutes of sleep in class is equivalent to 10 hours of sleep in a bed. i always wondered why this was. i used to think it had to be linked with why food always tastes better in a classroom. (and in-n-out always tastes better IN the restaurant(?) than OUT.)

but sleeping in geisel never does it for me. i can sleep there for 3 hours, and still be SUPER tired when i wake up. which is why sometimes i go there, sleep with my head rested on a textbook, and after i wake up, i wipe off the puddle of drool on ze textbook, close the book and pack my things and go back home. ALL while making sure no one sees me with drool across my facecheek. (:

goshhh i loveee sleeping in class soo much, i want to go to a classroom and sleep there for a bit and do some homework. if i did that for the rest of my life, other than being socially UNWANTED, i would sleep only an hour a day and be much more productive for the rest of my life.

another thing i like is when guys drive really well. swoon.

let's take a chance now, we could fall in love.

even if what you've got isn't all that grand,

if you own it and make it yours

wouldn't it be grand?

overly pessimistic people are such downers. i dont like downers, and i'm from downey.
