Man without a country

Over the past several weeks I have been filling in for a teacher that is out recovering from double by pass surgery. In that time, I becoming more and more comfortable with the staff and administration at Maryville Intermediate School. However I continue to remind myself that this is not my last stop, or a least I don't know taht it is. It seems for everyone that says you should have no trouble finding a job, there are 25 people that say, "you'll never get one there, its too hard!" All in all things are going well. I am enjoying it greatly. Howver I feel a little bit like a stranger in a foreign land.

LOST tonight

S4E2 "Confirmed Dead"

The survivors begin to question the intentions of their supposed rescuers when four strangers arrive on the isand.

Upon further review

Over the past few days I have been interim Special Education/inclusion teacher at MIS. I am also going to school fulltime. I recently thuoght, "I am going to have a master's degree and will have never taught." At first glance that was discouraging. Upon further review, I am glad this has been my approach. I really am excited that I will have that behind me when I begin my teaching career. Things are looking up as I am some 60 days from completion!!

Sore Losers

I am a big sports fan and I absolutely love it when sore losers lose at the highest level. After watching Super Bowl 42, I was reminded how sore losers act when they are knocked down a notch. It reminds me of a quote Mike Tyson stated, yes that Mike Tyson. After losing to Buster Douglass he said, "Everyone has a plan till they get punched in the mouth." I am sure Bill Belichek can sympathize. He ran off the field with his tail between his legs before the game was even over. Tom Brady and Randy Moss have chosen not to attend the pro bowl. Scared of all the questions Making all that just a bit sweeter is the fact that Bobby Knight retired. Now on super tuesday, I need the favorites to fall like rocks and all will be complete. In closing, I am glad the Patriots were defeated but it kills me as a Dallad Cowboys fan. I guess there is always next year.
