Hey guys.
Like usual, when I've too much to do and not enough time, I resort to FREAKING out and writing a whole bunch of nothing. Sorry!
Love you all.

"Shaksperian Sonnet"
Contributing party: one of my ninth graders. This was written by hand. From before I started teaching this class as a student teacher. Found it today; it must have been fallen off the desk and got lodged in between the desk and wall. I couldn't resist sharing it with you all. It pretty much made my day.
"You art the most beautiful thing
that eyes could see.
that eyes could see.
Your eyes art like the nice blue sky,
Your hair is like an autumn tree,
You look as if you can fly.
"Your face is that of a goddess.
I do not deserve your niceness.
I should have gotten less,
You releave me of my stress.
"You art never repetative in any way,
You make me so happy,
Every time I see you
I need to lay
You make my legs flappy.
"You art so beautiful,
you make my heart full."

Hello ...
I realize it's been quite some time since my last post. And I really cannot take more time to finish this one before I shoot off to class this morning ... but ...
There are only nine days between you and me, Washington.
I'm coming home soon.
(p.s. I have a few blogs between May 1 and now, just have not "published" them to this site ... eventually, I will have time)
Love, Dominique

on this day.
A little history lesson.
1 May 1945
Germany announced Hilter dead.
See the full story on the BBC News page.

Today.
1 May 2011
The world learned of Osama bin Ladin's death.
See the full story on the ABC News page.
Just saying ... I think the FBI needs to update their Ten Most Wanted page.

Do not rejoice in the falling of an enemy, do not rejoice in his death.
Proverbs 24:17 -- read it in context here for more information.
It is for the Lord to avenge, to judge, to vindicate.
I'll let Him do His job.

quote to process.
Upon turning 30 years old, a man took up his camera and began snapping pictures -- one for each day of his life.
Watch his short film and browse through pictures at this site: http://number27.org/today.php
What resonated with me:
When I really have a moment to pause and reflect, that is when I have my most groundbreaking moments.
In the next two weeks, I am hoping that I will be able to enjoy those moments I have that enable me to truly reflect on my experiences here and how they will impact my future.
This is a hectic, stressful time for students ...
I need to remember this for myself, too, and set aside time to critically evaluate my movements during the week in order to correct them for better use in teaching and life, in general. I will use the mistakes I made to inform future endeavors.
Although it might appear a "duh" statement at best, I enjoyed this quote as a piece of advice.
Taking time away from the haphazard quality of life and stress that is attached is beneficial not only for me but also for those I interact with on a daily basis.

"In order to make sense of your experience
... you really need privacy. You need space,
in order to contemplate and grow."
