Are my bones cracking? Well, not particularly - at least, no more than they were. No, I have decided that I have become the grumpy old English lady, with my increasing annoyance at fellow students cracking their knuckles......boy oh boy, do I hate it; and they ALL do it! Great kids, amazing minds, wonderful personalities, but they keep on popping and cracking those bones. The yawning without covering the gaping mouth is pretty annoying too.....but since that makes me REALLY sound old and grumpier than ever, we won't go there!
We could have quite a discourse on how much additional work I apparently give myself with my pages of notes taken during our reading homework, or how I just seem to worry far too much about everything; but that is my problem and I am working on it! Just as I need to face the fact that I will continue to overestimate my ability for what I can accomplish in any one single day....but that's ok, I am happy to be an optimist :)
To end this mini tirade, I will leave with my favorite quote of the week, from Jawanza Kunjufu:
"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires."
Words to live by indeed.
Love it! You go girl!
ReplyDeleteAnd, by the way, I hate when people crack on purpose, too. My bones crack constantly but it's not because I'm trying to!
Not on purpose would be entirely different......such as every time I get up from a kneeling position......cccrrrrreeeeeaaaak!
