Oh, I didnt know that....
So um yeah, I was on the phone with my sis today and she said the dumbest thing Ive heard in a while.
So I sent her an email and was expecting a response. Never got one. I decided to call today. So I asked why she hadnt responded. I needed her to print something out for me and wanted to know if she did it or not. So she has one of those smart phones, and can check her email from the phone. She has a registered email account through the phone but she also has a gmail account. So I asked is she printed the paper out yet. She said no, there wasnt any printing paper in the house. So I said why didnt she go to an internet cafe and print it out there. You wanna know what this dumb ass says to me?!?! "I cant cuz its on my phone"
Now Im a bit confused as to what the hell she is talkin bout so I inquire about this statement. She proceeds to offer this long as explanation of how she has an email account through her phone and how she can only check it on the phone and that I sent the email to her phone so she couldnt print it out. But I said "Tiff, I sent it to your gmail account" so she says and I checked it on my phone. So I go, "Tiff, you can check your gmail on the computer. If you go to gmail.com, you just type in your info and you can check your messages ON THE COMPUTER."
Her reply, "oh. I didnt know that"...she was dead ass serious!
WTF?!?! Are you kidding me? You mean to tell me that you SERIOUSLY thought you could only check your messages from your phone and that was it. Did you NOT know that gmail was created by Google, the global search engine. Oh My fuckin goodness.....
This shit right here, is a PRIME example why kids really need to stay in school and their education. I was relaly in disbelief when I heard homegirl say that hot shit. I mean damn, how dumb and unaware can one be. I tell you boy, some of these kids today aint concerned with nothing else but lookin fly and the latest new dance move.
Foolishness in my own home.....damn!

WOW
What a day....actually quite good if I do say so myself. I had class 4th period, which meant I got to sleep a lil bit later than usual. I didnt really prepare anything to do with my students. There are still some slackers who havent taken the test. So while I had class, they would have to take it which meant I had to watch them like a hawk to make sure they didnt cheat, which means there was free time for the other students.
The 2 students who took the make up were done fairly quickly. I honestly was kinda happy. I had prepared some stuff to do with the students the other day, but was reluctant to actually do it cuz I know a lot of them just wanted to relax. In the 9th class they just wanna play cards and talk all day, so I assumed thats what the 10g wanted to do as well. But it never hurts to have some stuff to do on standby.....
Which is awesome. When the students finished early, I could sense that the 10g wanted to do something. They all looked so bored and pitiful. So I asked if they wanted to continue doin nothin, or if they wanted to do this activity I thought of the other day. Mind you, I literally can pluck something out the air and make it an activity. They were up for it, so we began.....
I decided to focus on speaking, and games for these last few days of class. I came up with a topic, in this case communication, and centered different activities and discussion questions around that. So today we talked about different ways people communicate (via phone, internet, letters, sign language). Then I asked what is necessary for communicating with a person. We played the telephone game, where you whisper something to someone and it trickles down a line of people and the last person has to say what they hear. It was quite fun and that helped them understand the question (you have to speak the same language, speak clearly, be able to understand the person etc) Then we talked about people who cant speak at all, and how they communicate. That lead into a miming game I thought of. Boys vs. Girls vs Me. I had a list and told them to think of words that could be mimed. The other two teams would watch someone mime a word from their list and if someone from the other teams could guess the word, they get a point, if not, the mimer keeps the point. It turned out better than I thought. The boys won, by a very wide margin (I had 1 damn point), but it was very fun.......
The next class was excited about the game and they did well also. My last class was the 9g and they seemed so bubbly today. I walked in and they just knew I would give them free time. Some of them were huddled around a table and began to scream for me to come over and show them how to shuffle cards. I demonstrated my superb shuffling skills, and showboated for a while, before I broke out the UNO cards and they began to get a game going. They seemed to really have fun, and even tho I just watched, I couldnt help but join in the fun by laughing at mistakes and comments people made. Then one of the girls showed me some magic tricks that were actually pretty good.
A teacher invited me to cafe and altho I had my reservations, she is really nice so I decided to go. Butterflies were clearly flyin from my wallet, but I figured if I got a coffee, I should be ok cuz I eventually found 57 stotinki strategically hiding in my bag. I dont even drink coffee....SAD, I know....
I talked with about 3 of the teachers and altho I didnt understand EVERYTHING, I must admit I held my own. WE talked about piracy, illegal downloads, the lady who has to pay millions cuz she got busted and some other stuff *pats self on the back*
It was rainin bout time we were ready to leave. I felt a bit stupid cuz the one damn day I choose to wear open toe sandals, it rains!!! What an idiot.....But the rain felt good on my humongous toes....lol
Im sittin here now waiting for the rain to subside so I can go to the supermarket and buy food. Ive been tellin people all day how I have just ketchup, jelly and ice in my fridge. I figure I should do something bout that, and of course, THANK the LORD the supermarket takes credit cards, cuz i am bummin it something serious these days. I was thinkin I should go now tho. Its just a light drizzle out and Im sure not many people will be at the market, which means I dont have to worry about being a walkin freak show for these people. I get to tense and uncomfy when I feel people staring at me......
Overall, a surprisingly pleasant day! and it gets better, im on the second shift tomorrow (class begins at 1). Why this is happening in the middle of the week and the end of the damn month, I dont know and dare not ask any questions. But the 10g also told me that they are goin on an excursion fri and wont be in school mon and tues (the last few days of work) and if the 9g decided not to come (god willing) then that means tomorrow is my UNofficial last day, since I dont work fri. I suppose Ill have to check in mon and tues. but im gonna shoot the gun and say my last day is tom......
alright folks, its that time again. Im gonna go pretend I have a life, altho we all know ill be layin in bed watchin tv/runnin to the comp to check my email like every 3.2 seconds. Good day all....

Stalker Status
Uumm this is just a general thought/question....when does one become a stalker? When does one consider someone to be stalking them? Are there degrees of stalkin?
Im just curious cuz I often feel like im a border line stalker sometimes with my actions. I call Poppa sometimes and he doesnt pick up. So then I call right back (in case it was a mistake or he didnt reach the phone in time). No answer. But then this kinda makes me mad. I wait for a few minutes then call back. No answer. Wait. Call back. And before I know it, Ive called homeboy about 10 times in the span of a ahlf hour. And Im gonna call him back later to see why the hell he didnt pick up the phone earlier.
I feel like a stalker at this point.
Uuhhh, yeah.....pick up the damn phone bitch!

School is for what now? (insert confused look)
I am just so ticked off that these damn students think they can come to school and chillax. Like I come to work to stand in front of the class and watch you sleep or chit chat. So being the inquisitive person that I am, I decided to get to the bottom of this foolishness (wow, havent used that in like forever).
I was on a quest. Operation who the hell do you think you are, if you will. I had the 9G first period. I came in ready to discuss just what the hell they think is suppoed to be going in during school hours and what their role as a student was. I was surprised with the responses to be honest.
Half the students were in class anyway, so the convo flowed pretty well. I asked what is school for and why are they here. And most of them replied that they are here to sleep and do what they want (how sad is it that I actually believe that they believe this). in their other classes they play cards, chew gum, talk, sleep, play on their phones etc. They said they didnt HAVE to do work and a lot of them dont. When asked what the repercussions of this was, they said nothing. The teachers yell at them and tell them to stop, but they continue anyway. One kid (damn smartass) actually tld me that I can sleep in class if I wanted to. I wanted to laugh so hard cuz it was just the funniest thing.
Not too farfetched tho. Mon and Tues I didnt have work and that only left Wed and Thurs. But many people were absent and/or preparing for the celebration so a lot of students were absent. Throw in the heat, regular 'i dont want to work' attitude of most of the students and the fact that not one student came with their textbooks, I decided to have free time in the classes for the 2 days. So yest. I was so damn bored in my own class I actually nodded off. There were like 5 girls in the class who didnt want to play any games or talk to me, so I just put my head down and did my thing......hahahahah im so horrible!
Its funny cuz Ive noticed that if I give the students free time, they dont do shit. I mean absolutely nothing. If I were them Id be bored as hell and might actually be compelled to ask for something to do.
So anyway, I also asked the students if anyone had a favorite subject. Of the 3 people who said yes, they answered gym and the other said geography. How sad is this?!?! One guy said that when I was in school he knows that I didnt like it. Quite the contrary.
I wasnt IN LOVE with school. I never woke up and said damn, cant wait to get there. But I also didnt come to school to play cards and talk shit all day. I had my days where I hated school and disliked teachers. But I liked getting good grades. I loved it actually. I like Japanese class. I like math up to a certain point. I like playing volleyball and basketball aftershcool. And if I didnt understand something, I actually went to tutoring or asked questions. I cared about school. It was my life. These kids, boy o boy. They just dont give a fuck! About anything. I really wonder what they expect to be in life. Seriously....I can picture a few bus drivers, cashiers, and vagabonds...VIVIDLY!!!
In the 10 class we had a similar convo, but it was a lil diff. Ill have to blog about that another time tho.
Well kids, hope you learned something today.....cuz my kids in school sure didnt!

Nick Cannon vs. Eminem
Well lookey here....Apparently Em's new album has a diss track called "Bagpipes from Bahgdad" in which he makes fun of Mariah Carey. He called her a cunt, whore and suggests that they had something goin on a while back. Nick Cannon has *blogged* (how funny) a response in which he slams Em for being a racist, whack rapper, and pathetic. My thoughts:
1. EM, if Mariah is a cunt, whore, and so on, why would you want to get with her. In the song you claim "you want her back" meaning you had her at some point. But if she is all these negative things, then why even want her back
2. Nick, really?!? you responded to this crap in your blog. Um how old are we? Blogs are takin over the world.....Next its gonna be "You gonna be home tonight? Nah Im goin out, but hit me on my blog and we'll see if we can meet up....."
3. Can we say PUBLICITY...I just read an article where the writer makes a very good point. This is all publicity. Em needs to seel records in this damn ailin economy and we all know controversy sells records
4. Really, I could give 2 shits, cuz Im not buyin his damn album. But the title of the track is hilarious....
Oh wait, in a fight , who would win?
