Funny Yellow Fellow: #1

I saw a blog where they chose a color and when ever they saw that color they took a picture of it to share to the world. Well, world here you go. The beginning of the wonderful journey of the color yellow. Therefor you get to see a picture of my lamp. If you have ever been in my room you would see that I have like four lamps in one room. Why you ask? I hate fluorescent lighting. So here you go the first instalment of Funny Yellow Fellow. Enjoy!

::Apple for the teacher::

Today was it! My first experience as a teacher. I have been observing a middle school math class for about 12 weeks now and today I taught my first lesson. Now I taught on parallel and perpendicular lines, which I haven't done in a long time. So after 3 hours of putting a lesson together I thought I was ready. Well at 9:30 am I walked into 25 students ready to devour me. Okay this is an exaggeration. I learned a lot from this experience, like how much I love the feeling of seeing students understand a concept (the ahhaa theory). I am so glad it is over with and can't wait to see where God places me for my next observation. To God be the glory.

::More than just a show: The Office::

The university I attend, along with other places I'm sure, has fallen under the spell of what I like to call "officeitis". Now, I have been resisting this urge to try to understand this epidemic but I decided tonight to take the plunge. And what I understood is that this show is just a half an hour show of awkward moments. Now I say this knowing I can't judge a show with just one viewing. So I think I will continue to observe the show and those it has already infected. Who knows, perhaps with more contact with this fatal disease, I too, will show the symptoms (which include saying random quotes from the show, dressing like the characters on Halloween, and buying sticky notes with the characters face on them). I will try to keep an open mind and update my opinions of the show on this trusty blog.

P.S. I wonder if there is cure.

::The Latte Boy: Taylor::

Last night I was on duty and saw on a friends wall her rendition of "Taylor the latte boy". First of all this is uber funny. She is a riot and it fit her personality completely. But then I wanted to get to the bottom of this song. Who really sings it? I found out Kriten Chenoweth sings this. And she is overly animated also. So if you need some java and joy listen up!

::Crepes and Gardens::

Oh my 'lanta!!! Today was wonderful. A couple co-workers and I all went out and about to enjoy ourselves....thanks liz and marie. We started out at the City Coffee House and Creperies and then went to the Missouri Botanical Garden. First of all the Crepes were a-stinkin-mazing. I had an egg Havarti cheese and ham crepe that I could not finish because I was so full. I have never tried a crepe before so that was a new and magnificent experience. Then, we went to the botanical gardens. The weather was beautiful and we could not have picked a better day. We went around taking pictures and enjoying the sights. I want to share just some of the pics I got today. Hopefully there will be more to come...I hope you enjoy.

The time has come the walrus said....

Spring is here, although the weather is insistent upon disagreeing, and that means school is almost out. This is something that I'm very grateful about. Now don't get me wrong, I love to learn, but the act of reading for fun and sunbathing and half day Fridays makes my heart soar. Not to mention the excess of parking spaces. MMMMM...summer. What more could a person truly ask for. Yes I have to look for a second job now but maybe just maybe I could have a fun easy job. That would solely pay for the fun things in life like trips movies and clothes. Now don't peg me as superficial, although I am known to have my moments, it is just during the summer I get to jump into the luxuries I normally do not get. And so my friends I am ready for darker skin, lighter hair and a whole bunch of fun.

Mr. Sun, Sun Mr. Golden sun....please shine down on me.....

God working through the year....

I want to share the incredible opportunities that God has blessed me with this year:

*Just today He allowed me to see a resident in my hall(M.H.) recite a verse in chapel in her native tongue

*I got the opportunity to meet Steven Curtis Chapman (very kind and down to earth)

*He has given me the words to witness to a few people and share my testimony

*I met my best friend, which is something I have never had before.

*I have been able to fail, this sounds so odd but being very "focused" failure is not an option.

*God has shown me his might through my weakness.

*He has shown me how to be humble through Servant Leadership

*This may be silly but he allowed me to be crowned homecoming queen.

*He has given me the opportunity to share my education to others.

*He has shown me the many reasons why men and women are different.

*God has given me an amazing job (I wake up everyday and DO NOT dread work)

*He has given me countless times to overcome my stage fright.

*He has given me a sense of belonging

And these are just some of the ways I have been blessed.

Peace.
