Blogging Block. So. Life.

Warning: This post is super boring. It doesn't even have a point. So you don't have to read it. 

So. Blogging. This is only my second post this month. Which is weird, because I usually have at least a weekly post, or if happens to be December 2009, somehow I manage to post 11 times. Don't know how that happened. But now, I don't even know what to write about. And it's not that my last couple of weeks haven't been awesome and exciting and great, I just don't have anything to say. Which is weird for me, because I always have loads of things to say. In fact, most of the time, I have WAY TOO MUCH to say, and that leads to really, extra long posts that nobody but me wants to read. Yes, I do go back and read old posts quite often. Rachelle thinks that's weird.

So. School. Love/hate relationship. I came into this semester thinking that I was going to love my classes more than ever before. But honestly, it's really hard to love your classes when you a) don't do your homework, b) don't listen in class, c) don't do the assigned reading (most of the time) and d) do kind of poorly on 50% of the quizzes that you take. It's a problem. But not an unsolveable one. I've just been... distracted. That's all. I'll get back on the good student train soon, I think. Starting with tonight. It is a Friday night, and you know what I'm doing? Staying in and doing my homework. Or blogging, whichever one seems most important (you can see that my blog is winning that battle...).

So. Work. Love/hate relationship. I really do love my job. Promise. But lately, I've just been getting bored and so excited to get out of there at the end of the day. I think it's because I'm nearing the end of the first stage of a big project, and I'm a little uncertain about what is going to come next, how time consuming it will be, and how difficult and challenging it will be. Just a little nervous, and just a little bit lazy. Such is life. But Nellie Gubler and the St. George stuff is coming along quite nicely. Love the old wedding announcements. And the LOVE LETTERS. I've been reading love letters for the last 2 weeks, and they are super fun. Most are just normal and cute at the end, but some are SUPER SUPER SAPPY, and it's hilarious- I actually felt bad for the guy writing the sappiness. So fun to read, though.

Aaaandnnddd... I just want to read good books and hang out with people all the time. That's all I want! I don't want to read stupid online articles from the English Journal for all my English teaching classes. They are boring and pointless, and let's face it, the goal isn't to teach English ANYWAY! I'm just so annoyed about having to buy textbooks and then only using them for 1/4 of the class reading assignments. HEY. English teaching department. FIX THIS.

I am wanting to be a teacher less and less. Mostly I just want to be a wife and PTA mom. But I still want to go to library school and be an archivist. I would just love doing that for my life- after my kids (whenever they and a husband choose to come along--obviously in reverse order) are grown up and everything and I get bored with cleaning, scrapbooking, shopping, playing kid games, blogging and cooking all day.

So that's it. A boring post. Hopefully this will get me thinking about blogging again, and the good idea train will come back around the bend. But if not, this was at least an update on my life.

And by the way, Percy Jackson comes out soon. February 5.

I have an idea of something you could write about... which reminds me. We should have taken a pic of that lovely thing we found at that store when we went out to eat! You can't forget what it looks like! It was beautiful! :D

"I am wanting to be a teacher less and less. Mostly I just want to be a wife and PTA mom." This sentence sums up my life. Maybe you could take out the PTA and just put mom. Its really hard putting so much effort into something I don't really have any desire to do. But oh well, it's a degree. I just want babies. :)
I think I know what the 3 weeks are referring to, and you better update me soon.
Glad you are posting. Love you.

Audrey said...

Calista said...

Woot woot! Everything inside of me resounds with this post. Especially that stuff about the English textbooks - what the what is up with that?

Chuck and Becky West said...

Hey Audrey...I'm glad you finally posted something...anything is better than no words from my favorite writer. I loved this blog because you sound like a regular person, not your normal "super" woman. I just knew you had to be normal sometimes! Love you.
