I am struggling today on deciding what to write about. A steady flow of ideas are not coming I would be happy with just a trickle right now but the well is dry. I have decided that on days like this perhaps the best thing to do is just write whatever comes to me, something suggested in our textbook and what I suggest to my students when they complain about the very same thing. I would like to write about my day but most things that happened are under the confidential umbrella and since I was at work I cannot even write about my granddaughter for I have not seen her.
I am watching the news hoping for inspiration and that is not even working except I am wondering why a student had a handgun in his backpack in the first place. I am sadden for the students that were injured when the studnert dropped his backpack and it went off. Hearing stories like this I cannot help but wonder why he had the gun, what were his intentions? Was he scared , angry, tired of being bullied? Kids and guns are never a good mix-okay people and guns are not a good mix in my opinion. I am not going to start a tirade or even attempt to start anything about guns for as with somethings I know it is a personal choice and I try to respect to disagree with many on this subject.
Hmm still waiting for a good idea to come. Have you ever tried so hard to do something and the more you try the less you seem to succceed? I think this can be the most difficult about this part of the assignment is writing when you seem to have nothing to write about. I am sure something happened today that would make an interesting story but honestly there is nothing even wehn I came home Ihad nothing much to say.
I am learning som new things at work in order to get ready to teach/monitor a clas for high school students that have not passed their ISATs. I will have 12 students and I am looking forward to practice some of the teaching/ classroom management skills I have learned. It will be interesting to be in a classroom with studnets and I am not the assistant but to be seen as the "teacher" a title that seems so unreal still.
Maybe like the writing about about nothing can be sort of cathartic at times for it seems that while I thought there was nothing it seems there jus tlittle things that I need to think about and sort into categories or whereever they need to go so that when a big idea or event happens I can handle it.
Tonight I am attending my BCF class and we will be talking about forgiveness and that is a difficult thing to do at times for many of us -maybe that is why I don't want to delve to far into the recesses of my mind for I know that later I will have to face issues that I am not sure I am ready to handle yet know that I am never given more than I can handle.
Well I suppose I should end this rambling and move onto some productive work. If you read this I am sorry that it was nothing inspiring. I will admit it started as something "I had to do" but I actually do feel better about sharing the small random things that have enetered my mind these last few minutes. Perhaps we do not always have to have big ideas or inspirations.
I wish you a blessed day/night.
I enjoyed reading!
