RAIN!!!

Ok, So I love rain. My mother says that its a trait that I inherited from my late grandfather. I take this to heart. Because any trait good or bad that i have from my grandfather is a blessing. You see i had the pleasure of having THE kindest MOST wonderful grandfather in the world. I can remember on sundays when we would go over to his house to have sunday dinner with the family everyone would look at a rainy sunday as a bad sunday, but not papa and I. We would pray for rainy days (like today). We had a tradition of sitting on the front portch with my coco and his coffie and not say a word for hours (or what seemed like hourse to a child). Great memories. I miss him.

Technology

Well, we have reminders every day about how wonderful technology is. My husband left for two weekdays on a business trip. I was able to talk to him on the cell phone multiple times a day and chat with him online pretty much whenever we wanted. Technology also make life easy while teaching. Email has become a Huge asset to teaching because we are able to not only communicate with colleagues but also with students. Emailings notices and homework. I don't know what I would do without the internet anymore.

Problem with schools today

I believe that the problems with school and students today all stem from our fundamental on which our country was made. For example, most of Americas historical documents mention God, yet prayer in school is against the separation of church and state. I believe that a person whether they worship Buddha or God should be able to pray in school if they so choose. What is the harm in letting our children express their beliefs? Was not our country founded on a whim of a hope of something better?

My Presentation

I Did my presentation on Salt cay. I believe that i did might have gone a little over on the time. but i believe that i did a pretty good job.

Steps to becoming a spearfisherwoman

I started off with a very simple "pole spear". This apparatise is divised of a long alluminum pole with a spear head on the tip and a long rubber band attached to the other end. One hooks their thumb around the band and slowly moves their hand up the pole so that one you spot a fish you just simply let go of the pole and hold on to the band. My first fish that i shot was a flounder on a wreck called the three mile barge just out of orange beach. I had matt my husband there with me the whole time. good thing too because a six foot pregnant bull shark showed up to take my fish and i was not about to give it up. After many months of shooting with the pole spear, I recived a wonderful gift from matt. A SPEAR GUN!!!! With the inscription Mrs. Perkins. The name of the speargun was very appropriate considering his was named Mr. Perkins. Long story short... Mr. and Mrs. Perkins lived happily ever after.

scuba diving ROCKS!

Well, everybody has there hobbies. Mine is to shoot fish 100' or more under the water. About four years ago i started scuba diving with my husband matt, it started off very relaxing and tranquil. It didnt take much time for me to get bored because i has already seen most of the tropical fish there was to see in the gulf. So, i had a chioce of which direction i wanted to go with my diving. Photography or Spearfishing? This was not that hard of a choice considering my husband was already an avid spearfisherman. so slowly i started learning the trade.

Disney world

One of the powerpoints that we saw this week was about a girls spring break trip to disney world. It looked as if she really got the whole experience. whereas my experience with disney world was a little more, FUZZY. My first trip to disney world was curtessy of my older sister Robin. She and he new husband had decided to take her younger sibling to disney world. She promised a trip that we would remember forever. NOT TRUE. Actually i only remember parts of it. This is all thanks to my sisters husbands great idea to take dramamine, so that we could ride every ride in the park and not get sick. well we didnt get sick. we slept the whole three days that we were there!

Thoughts on Power points

I really enjoyed all of the powerpoints that were shown in class. But my favorite by far was the one about the toiletts. Its so funny to me how many people have strange fobias. For example I am completely terrified of falling. I have night mares about walking down the street and just tripping and falling. Weird hah.

First blog

This is actually my first blog that I have posted on my own. I really dont have a clue what to say on it, but i figure that its a sort of impersonal diary. So here it goes...
