:) Friendly interactions
My kinesiology class was canceled today so I began walking all the way back to the other side of campus where my car was located. It was starting to rain pretty hard so I began to walk briskly and so did everyone else (I walk quickly regardless, lol, but today everyone else did too).
Anyway, I had to pause every couple of steps and take off my glasses and wipe them down with my shirt because the water droplets would cover the lense— it made me feel kinda nerdy, haha, oh well. Water droplets and constantly having to wipe down is definitely one of the negatives of deciding to wear glasses instead of contacts to school when it’s raining. I have to remember to keep that in mind.
Well, I was walking down the path near the Education building and I saw this lady holding hands with a little girl and they were walking quickly towards my direction. The lady was gently pulling the little girl along and the little girl had the biggest smile as she was almost jogging to keep up with her mom’s (?)quick pace. (The little girl seemed so happy. I guess she must like the rain or maybe she was excited about wherever she was headed to…or maybe she’s just a very happy and excited child). It was funny because from a distance I could see that the little girl was waving her free hand to nobody the whole time as she jogged forward. So once they got closer to me I decided I would smile and wave back to the little girl (I figured someone should wave back to her eventually :p) When I did so, she got the cutest and biggest smile. It was so sweet and she kept on telling her mom, “She waved back! She waved back!” :) It kinda made my day. Little things like that make me happy…
Little kids are awesome. I always see them on my way back to my car since I park near the Education building and they have some sort of preschool program there. So there’s always random little kids inside or outside the building getting dropped off or picked up.

:D He looks like he’s smiling…or waiting for a snack, hehe, probably the latter.
We had company over today so I couldn’t bring in Hercules since he would probably get too excited for the little kids so I just went outside and played with him for a bit.

I won’t hide the smile :)
So I was getting ready cause I wanted to go to the $3 theater and watch Jumping the Broom by myself. I even found exactly $3 in the jeans I put on so I felt it was a signal for me to go watch the movie. However, when I went on fandango.com to check the times for the movie, they no longer had it there…
oh well…
Next time I guess I won’t wait so long to watch a movie I’m wanting to see at the $3 theater.

I’ve been in the mood to watch Man on Fire again. Also, this song I’ve always liked since the first time I saw that movie and I felt like replaying it at the moment.
Anyways, I was looking at quotes from the film and the following one made me giggle :)
Pita: Creasy
[pause]
Pita: You’re smiling.
Creasy: What?
Pita: You were smiling.
Creasy: No, I’m not.
Pita: You were.
Creasy: No, I was not.
Pita: You’re not now, but you were.
Creasy: No, *you* were smiling, I wasn’t smiling.
Pita: You were.
Creasy: When?
Pita: Like, five seconds ago.
Creasy: I’m not smiling.
Pita: Well, a second ago you were.
Creasy: No, you said five seconds ago, now that’s six. Six seconds ago I was not smiling.
Pita: Okay, 10 seconds ago.
Creasy: 10 seconds ago, I was smiling. Okay, in the next 10 seconds let’s see who smiles first.
[pause]
Creasy: You smiled already. See? You did.
Pita: Mmm.
[pointing at Creasy]
Creasy: No, that wasn’t a - That was a smirk, that’s not a smile. A smirk is different. They both start with “S,” but they’re not the same - Do your homework.
Pita: [Creasy walks away] You were.

This made me smile when I saw it because I know I tend to use these keys a lot…and literally smile when I do :)
Not only that, but today I’m having a good day because it started off with awesome news…for me anyways :p

Rise up this mornin’,
Smiled with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true…—Three Little Birds, Bob Marley
Good song this morning that fit my mood :)

Behind my smile is a hurting heart. Behind my laugh, I’m falling apart. Look closely at me and you will see, the girl I am…isn’t me.-Unknown

“What Teachers Make”
-The ending of this made me smile :)
(What Teachers Make,
or Objection Overruled,
or If things don’t work out, you can always go to law school )
By Taylor Mali
He says the problem with teachers is, “What’s a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?” He reminds the other dinner guests that it’s true what they say about teachers:
Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.
I decide to bite my tongue instead of his and resist the temptation to remind the other dinner guests that it’s also true what they say about lawyers.
Because we’re eating, after all, and this is polite company.
“I mean, you’re a teacher, Taylor,” he says.
“Be honest. What do you make?”
And I wish he hadn’t done that (asked me to be honest) because, you see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it.
You want to know what I make?
I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I can make a C+ feel like a Congressional medal of honor and an A- feel like a slap in the face.
How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best.
I make kids sit through 40 minutes of study hall in absolute silence. No, you may not work in groups. No, you may not ask a question.
Why won’t I let you get a drink of water? Because you’re not thirsty, you’re bored, that’s why.
I make parents tremble in fear when I call home: I hope I haven’t called at a bad time, I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today. Billy said, “Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don’t you?”
And it was the noblest act of courage I have ever seen. I make parents see their children for who they are and what they can be.
You want to know what I make?
I make kids wonder,
I make them question.
I make them criticize.
I make them apologize and mean it.
I make them write, write, write.
And then I make them read.
I make them spell definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful over and over and over again until they will never misspell either one of those words again.
I make them show all their work in math.
And hide it on their final drafts in English.
I make them understand that if you got this (brains)
then you follow this (heart) and if someone ever tries to judge you
by what you make, you give them this (the finger).
Let me break it down for you, so you know what I say is true:
I make a goddamn difference! What about you?
