Expertise: I'd like to say that I know alot about economics, but I've also learned that you can NEVER know enough about economics because knowing economics involves knowing people, history and about a million other things. Hopefully I'll start to make some headway before too long.I can also ride horses. Additionally, I'm quite good at working with children and adults with autism.

| So my CT's name is Mr. Colson. I tried to call him "sir," and he corrected my very promptly. He is Ralph, or Mr. Colson when the kids are around. He is amazing!!! He makes me laugh at least once a class. He pretends to fall asleep while he's lecturing in order to get the kids' attention. He is in a wheelchair due to a combo of crotch rocket, 113 miles and hour, Dessau Rd., and a guy wire. Some of his jokes are about his wheelchair. It takes the kids at least a week to start laughing at those jokes. It's awesome!
On your first tardy, I'm going to roll over your toes.
Look at Mr. Hand, he’s got some information for you.
If you sit here with you thumb up a certain orifice, I won’t give you that extra time.
On your third tardy, you will be shot.
Ack bassward
This will help you stand under (understand), this concept.
Broccoli beetles
Alfalfa tarantulas
The ceiling tile affect (when kids are staring at the ceiling)
As you’ll notice, I haven’t left my seat.
Well, the bell schedule has changed, so we’re out of here at 6:30.
If you have any questions, raise your hand and I’ll laugh at you.
Half of life is just showing up.
If I get a roll-y chair, you should get a roll-y chair (to me about my awesome roll-y chair).
Get my sheet together.
We’re learning economics-ese
You’ll be in deep sheet
You will have a sheet-y life
Look at Mr. Pen.
I just doubled my chinchilla futures.
His example for a business is that he starts a chinchilla farm to make chinchilla coats. Alot of his examples relate to chinchillas.
I need more chinchilla shredders.
I am going to have a great semester. Despite the fact that I feel like I'm not doing that much work, I might succeed at this. Still haven't had class at UT. Gotta love it. Additionally, I'm learning my students' names! I thnk I'm at about 30% right now.

| So I know this is a total cop out post for my first one back, but I thought it was cool. It also makes me feel slightly more stupid for not having read more of these books.
What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you've read, put in blue the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish.

| Yeah, it's one of those dumb friend tests, but it'll be fun. You know you want to take it...

| Mike and I are going to a potluck dinner! YAY! I think I might have friends! Weird, right?
So...I work too much, and I'm only getting $350 back from the government. Mike gets $1300. Suckage. Oh well.
I'm going to be in Houston on Feb. 18th so my mom and Dave can help Mike and me get our taxes done. Unfortunately we'll miss Anna's party by a day. I'm not so excited about that part. But I'll probably get to see Caylin, and that makes me happy. Apparently, Xanga thinks that Caylin is a misspelling. It also thinks that Xanga is misspelled. I find that kind of interesting. You think they'd at least add themselves to the dictionary that they use for this spell-checker. Eh.
Emily's birthday is coming up. So is Jenny's. And really, so is mine. 21. Whatever will I do with being 21? Probably go get some martinis at dinner and maybe even venture down to 6th street for the obligatory "It's my birthday so I get free shots" night. Since it's on a Thursday, I might go out at 12:00 that morning. I only have one class (and it's at 12:30) on Thursday, so perhaps I can skip work that morning and not have to worry about the hangover.
So what does Anna want for her birthday? I already have an idea for Emily.
Going to bed soon having not accomplished a darn thing.
