Oh school is winding down and my schedule is super crazy. I feel like I have meetings and programs and tests non stop. ahhh.
Tonight was a hall council program that me and Brittney basically did all the work for. Which is ridiculous because we aren’t even officially members. One girl was alot of help, but the president, vice president…. nowhere to be seen.
I’m trying to plan my documentation panels for 311 and I love my plan but I dont think its what Dr. Wright wants at all.
Tomorrow I have to call work and hopefully get on the schedule for Christmas and then explain how I need days off for my boyfriend to visit. I feel like they’ll mess it up and schedule me anyway and I’ll need to find covers. ugh. But Better that then not being put on the schedule at all. Since I hostess and work counter I should get on. Otherwise I can just cover for people. I’m sure my brother will give me his shifts. And he seemed to get lots of people asking for covers when I was home over thanksgiving.
I’ll just be glad when all this stress is done.

Tonight I went to the Linguistics Speaker Series with one education class and heard Dr. John Baugh. His lecture was fascinating. I wish I had more free time because I think I would definitely concentrate in Linguistics. I had so much fun in 101 last semester.
But at the speaker, these two girls asked the stupidest questions. Dr. Baugh was this ridiculously intelligent man and they just like rambled on and like on. ugh!
I decided I want to speak in the national standard English, like television broadcasters do. I think it sounds fabulous.

So, I definately forgot about writing in this. I just remembered. Fabulous.
Right now I am incredibly stressed and I dont even think Thanksgiving will be a break. I’ll be excited for the nice breather Christmas will be. But I’m not sure how the long distance thing with my boyfriend will go. Or how working with my ex-boyfriend will be(if he still works there).
My to do list is overwhelming. My room is a mess but I can’t sit still long enough to clean it. I just want to put everything off and obviously I can’t. RA stuff is crazy, HR applications are due next week which means asking people for references, updating my resume, and writing a cover letter. I hate cover letters.
My family is falling apart. I dont know how to deal with it.
I’m on duty at 7am tomorrow morning untill 8am monday.
I can’t deal.

It amazes me the random things you can find on the internet. I was working on my lesson for practicum and found this site www.cooper.com/alan/homonym_list.html. This man keeps a list of homonyms. Some I don’t agree with (ex. Berry, Barry, Bury). I definately pronounce those differently .
I can’t decide what to do for my lesson. I have 3 concepts, symbols, timelines, or words with multiple meanings. I really want to do words with multiple meanings because I can think of lots of fun activities, but I need to include some Children’s literature and I can’t figure out what I would incorporate. I’m leaning toward timelines right now. I could do a whole class part or have them work in groups to make big timelines by rearranging things on the floor. And then they could make smaller timelines that go with a story. I figure a biography might be good for that. I also thought it might be interesting to have them pick a favorite memory or event and make a class timeline of that. We’ll see.
