My Life Happenings

Lately…

07/09/2005

I haven’t been posting stuff lately. Here’s the low-down of what I’ve been up to: Volleyball on Wednesday nights Volleyball on Sunday afternoons Sit-ups/Crunches & Push-ups daily (amount varies) Running 2-3 miles at least once a week Unfortunately, I haven’t been surfing for awhile. I just sold my board and am waiting for the transfer Read More

Ahhh! Oxygen!

07/07/2005

I found out a year ago that I have asthma. My current guess is that it has something to do with working with clay way too much. Anyhoo, it’s been difficult to breathe sometimes as a result. This summer it’s been bad, with me having attacks five minutes in to exercise. I’ve been a trooper Read More

School’s Out!

06/19/2005

Yeah! I think the school year ended quite well. I had awesome students this year and they made it really great. So, now I have my Board exams on Tuesday, then start next week teaching summer school. I’m doing a 6th grade core class (Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, Math) so it should be pretty Read More

Played volleyball at a park on Sunday for like three hours. It was decent play. Today I performed as Freddie Mercury for the school talent show. I was drenched in sweat afterwards because that man has some seriously interesting stage movements. Heh heh. Fun cardio is the best cardio.

Talent Ethics

06/13/2005

I’ve been considering some different questions regarding how a person’s talents are used and/or abused in various settings. I personally get frustrated a lot when my work overuses my talents. It’s like, when you’re the art teacher you are expected to make posters (because apparently when you’re an artist, you’re also a postermaker), manage art Read More

California Dreamin’

06/09/2005

I have a dream that one day I will have a bigger, floatier surfboard so I can snag more waves and ride them all the way in to the beach. I have a dream that this board will not require waxing and will fit securely under my arm when I carry it into waves. I Read More

Had a schweet volleyball game yesterday. The only thing that stunk was that my asthma was acting up and it made it hard to breathe and I was hesitating on the court. So, I felt slower and sluggish. But, I got in a good 2 1/2 hours of play! Good fun.

Friday, I Mean Thursday

06/09/2005

I hate it when it’s a Thursday and it feels like a Friday and yet it’s still only THURSDAY! Grrr… My throat has hurt since last Friday and now it hurts to swallow. One side of my tonsils is swollen and it hurts. I called the doctor and they told me to drink lots of Read More

Grrrrrrr…

06/08/2005

I’ve been sick since Friday afternoon and, darnit, I’m sick of being sick! It’s one of those stupid head-cold things that makes your throat hurt and your sinuses clog and your general awareness of what is happening around you very foggy. My friend Brian gave me a ride home after work on Monday, and I Read More
