  • "the one with the proposal" & other stuff

    ok.  seriously.  i'm all over the place.


    i just watched "the one with the proposal," as you might have gathered from the title of this post and the fact that i'm *Currently Watching*  Friends - The Complete Sixth Season.


    if you aren't a big fan of the show...well, you should be. 


    every time--EVERY TIME--i watch that episode i cry.  i mean all over the place.  such a great show. 


    but going back to the all-over-the-place comment...sometimes i think that i don't even care if i never find it--you know, the right guy, love, all that jazz.  that i could be perfectly happy going through life by myself.  i mean, that would give me the opportunity to do what i love--travel.  i could teach ESL and go wherever, whenever pretty much.  i wouldn't have to deal with all the issues that go along with being in a relationship.  but then i watch shows like that and i'm like--no.  need someone now.  well, not now because my life is ridiculous right now and i don't have time for a *real* relationship but..some day in the not so distant future.  so i don't know. 


    anyway, moving right along--thursday in my ESL theory class it was stinkin hilarious.  dr.pakenham makes me laugh lots.  we were discussing speech and that when you listen to someone talking, you walk away with a basic understanding--ideally--of what the person said, but not their exact words.  obvious stuff, right?  so then this one old lady in the class started talking (cuz they never shut up!!) about how "well, then i guess you've never heard teenage girls talk to each other then" and everyone started making fun-- "and then he was like...and i was like....and so she wall all...and i totally just..."  and i about died.  thats so me.  am i still a teenager?  not just a teenager, but a ditzy teenager?  omg.  thats so sad.  but so funny.  really.  i guess its good that i can laugh and not be offended.  should i be offended?  i always feel really young in that class anyway because i'm seriously prolly the youngest one in there--with most people either already teaching and just there to renew or to get the TESOL endorsement.. or at least working on their masters or something.  the guy that sits next to me is 29.  the women that sit in front of me are teachers--one a spanish prof at the uni.  but that just really did it for me.  wow.  fun times.


    well..i've actually been semi-productive so far this weekend.  i wrote up my observation for dr.smolens class.  made some flash cards for an exam i have monday.  started reading a book that prolly won't even be due until friday (at the earliest).. so until i have to go out to the cafe, i think i'm gonna try to continue in this fashion.


    ...or at least get outside and enjoy the decent weather.


    make it a good one
