This is the true joy in life: being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap, being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish, little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

Bucking Up

How can it be that when I am walking slowly I sweat through my short sleeved shirt and a man in navy blue pants and a navy blue long sleeve shirt whips by me on a bike wearing a hat and SMOKING and he ISN`T BREAKING A SWEAT!?!?

We are in the hottest months of the year. I am NOT a happy camper.

As many of you know, I have been complaining a lot lately about feeling useless here. Well, I`ve finally decided to buck up and do something about it. I went over to my sitemate`s house earlier this week and we had a brainstorming session about things we can do (she was feeling about the same). We came up with some great ideas.

My top two projects that I`ve decided I need to work on are creating a book club to develop critical thinking skills. I don`t know the details yet and have to wait for the books to arrive (which were shipped on April 1st thanks to Billy!). I`m going to start with less than ten students and see how it goes. The other project is giving an English class to teachers so they can use a little bit of English in their classrooms which will make the students learn.

Happy birthday Jen!
