Eleftheria's Wonderful Pick-Me-Up







so, as usual i don't have a lot of time to explain, but i will make a brief post. i am teaching 5 classes of english, each a different class, 4 of which i have never taught and 2 of which are outside my general experience. needless to say i am a little overwhelmed. so i come home today to see this. eleftheria created these out of wood, paint, and cork board. each one is for a separate class (and one for a personal event) and it allows me to organize what the heck i am doing, while looking super cool and original. it is really awesome to have someone that supports me as much as she does; she understands that i have to work late, work lots and am often times a complete basket case. hopefully, i make her feel as good as she makes me feel.

Strategic You Tubeing

so when you spell You Tubeing you keep the 'e', interesting. so based on my last few posts you might think that i spend all my time on You Tube, and, while that might be a correct assumption, i have friends that spend more time. really though, because i can't spend a lot of time on You Tube because of school, climbing, and a home life, i have become a strategic You Tuber. there are many people on You Tube who spend their time creating and sharing very interesting playlists, one of my favorite ones is a guy with the user-name 'vsauce'. it sounds funny, but i really do get a lot of great ideas for my classes from You Tube. i am currently creating a whole project outline based on the video posted here.



i am sorry for all the videos but i think that they are really interesting. i hope that someday soon i'll be able to write some more personal news; i have so much, really. maybe i will start an epic post this weekend to be finished sometime during the week.

Animation

I use these with my students sometimes because they are really great stories and the animations are really just wonderful. I will not use this one, and I am not usually so sad and sappy, but it is really wonderful.
love you both.

HOLY CRAP THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!
