Stuff

I went out last night with all of the other grad students. We had a hell of a time! What fun! It's good to be back in school and to start meeting new people. It was also a welcomed break from all of the work that has been mounting. Teaching is hard. There is so much to do and remember that you get lost in what you're doing half the time. Then your students just look at you, wondering what to do. I feel stupid in that moment. It's getting better, so that's good. I should have this teaching thing down by next semester... I hope.

Other things... I'm sick right now. I went and bought some cold medicine (which you have to have a driver's license to buy now, btw). I just took some, which will put me to sleep in a few minutes. I want to feel better.

Bruiser is gone. My sister found somebody to take him, so my puppy is no more. :'o(

There is a website where you can find out what song was #1 on the day you were born. I guess there's a saying that states that whatever song was at the top when you were born shapes the rest of your life. My song is J. Geils Band - Centerfold. The song is about this guy's first love turning out to be a centerfold. I've posted the lyrics too.

Does she walk? Does she talk?
Does she come complete?
My homeroom homeroom angel
Always pulled me from my seat

She was pure like snowflakes
No one could ever stain
The memory of my angel
Could never cause me pain

Years go by I'm lookin' through a girly magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in-between

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold

Slipped me notes under the desk
While I was thinkin' about her dress
I was shy I turned away
Before she caught my eye

I was shakin' in my shoes
Whenever she flashed those baby-blues
Something had a hold on me
When angel passed close by

Those soft and fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
Too see her in that negligee
Is really just too much

It's okay I understand
This ain't no never-never land
I hope that when this issue's gone
I'll see you when your clothes are on

Take you car, Yes we will
We'll take your car and drive it
We'll take it to a motel room
And take 'em off in private

A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can't deny it
Oh yea, I guess I gotta buy it!

So how does that shape my life? Who knows, but we'll see if that ever happens.

What song shapes your life?
