Snow day

I think 2014 will be the year of shorter, more frequent posts. I seem to lack the attention span necessary to spit a long post out these days. I suppose that could change, though of course that allows the possibility it will get worse.

What a waste of a perfectly good snow day! Why couldn't this wait for Monday? This has been a relatively low key winter break for me, and we've now reached the time where I start to think "I don't want to go back to school." I understand the ridiculousness of that sentiment. I love going to school. It's endlessly entertaining and rewarding and I'm getting a little tired of being home all the time. It has nothing to do with school itself, it's just my inner 2 year-old saying, "I don't wanna!" You want me to do this? I don't wanna.

Funny how, at least in some quarters, I've acquired a reputation as being affable and even perhaps agreeable. I'm not sure how I've allowed this to occur. I never had any ambitions toward being pleasant. It just happened- a product of suspect parenting I suppose. I always aspired to be more on the contrary side. And what passes for agreeability, I think, is a combination of laziness and curiosity. I naturally take everything at face value, and often one thing seems as good as the next, so why not?

I can't say I'd recommend this to anyone. I'm not even sure it's good for me. People ask me to do all kinds of things that I probably ought to say no to but I usually don't. Now all that remains to be seen is whether I can get all the papers sitting in my bag graded in time for Monday.
