Currently listening to: Could've Gone Mad - Poe
Well, how do you know if I'm really listening to this? Maybe I'm really listening to Fix You, by Coldplay. In fact, that is what I'm listening to. Oh, wait. The song just changed. Now I'm listening to Ultra violet, by U2.
Anyway, just thought I'd write stuff. I've always wanted to just ramble on my blog, but I never really do that. Well, that's arguable, I suppose. Things are going well at school...oh. Now I'm listening to Square One - Coldplay....
Anyway, yeah. Things are going well at school. I've made a breakthrough in my lesson planning. I guess I mentioned that I was getting more efficient in my last entry. But here's my secret...that I'm anouncing on the worldwide web. So basically, because my classes are usually right on top of each other (as in, literally no breaks between classes), I have to have all my classes planned for before the first one starts.
What I did before was plan them in the order I had the classes. But what usually happened was that I spent to much time planning the first few classes and I sometimes didn't get to the last class (or couple of classes)...oh, Now I'm listening to Lemon Meringue - Poe... So now what I do is plan my last class first and work backwards until I get to my first class. See, I know I'm gonna leave time for that one, because it's the most pressing. It's a mind game, really, but it works. And I'm leaving myself enough time to eat dinner, so I have more energy now. So, yeah. I think I'll make it through the year. As for....ok, now I'm listening to Swallowed - Coldplay... Is this annoying you? Well, too bad ;) As for the extra hours I'm expecting to receive (mentioned, like, two posts ago), I may not have to take those classes after all. But if I do have to, I think I'll be able to handle it.
I was was looking at plane tickets yesterday. Not to Seattle this time. I was looking for tickets to Singapore. As I mentioned in previous post, my next holiday is in October. Seemed far away...Sorry. I'm listening to Til Kingdom Come - Coldplay... Seemed far away at the time, but now I see it's the month after next. Talking with several people has made me curious about Singapore. And maybe I'll be able to see an old co-worker I had in Japan. This plan for the Singapore trip, the trip to Japan in February, ...even the journey here to Taiwan were often quite a long time in the making. By the time I go to Japan next February, that plan will have been two years in the making....Now listening to Until the End of the World - U2...
I think that if I can continue to follow through with these plans, it may give me confidence that I can visit people wherever they are, so long as I don't mind the time that passes between. And hopefully, they don't either.
I've never thought much about time. And I have been pretty emphatic about not letting time be an influence on my decisions....Currently listening to New Way Home - Foo Fighters... If I let time pressure me, I'll make rash decisions. I don't want to do that.
But not just that. When people say things like, "That was a long time ago", it never seems that way to me. And at any rate, it seems irrelevant. It's what happens that matters, not when...Now I'm listening to Haunted - Poe... People will patronize the young and say they don't know any better. But I don't know. I'm older now than those days when people said I was young and, although I've changed my thinking (sometimes in major ways), I think there are some things that are just the same as when I was young. ...Now listening to The Hardest Part - Coldplay... Feelings, for example. *long pause* I don't know where to take it from here. But I was told that when I get older ( I was told this from childhood through high school, maybe even into college) that my feelings will change as I become more mature.
Love, for example....Now listening to Talk - Coldplay...When young people are in love (especially in high school), they're told by older people that it's not really love. And I believed it at the time. Then college comes around, and suddenly, people are adults, and love is mature now. But I never really saw the difference. I guess we could argue, or need to define love, but I'm not trying to get philosophical.
My point is... Now listening to Enough Space - Foo Fighters... Here's my point. My point is....I don't know what my point is. Just, not much seems to change as I get older... Now listening to What If - Coldplay... And if things don't change as I get older, then why should it matter how much time goes by? And why should older people patronize the younger for being foolish? How much wiser have they actually become? ...Now listening to My Hero - Foo Fighters... Well, those are my random thoughts. There is no conclusion. This cold continue in another post next week, or perhaps years from now.
Last song: Speed of Sound - Coldplay
