Teaching and taking classes makes me realize what's important

I am teaching full-time while taking two classes. This is so hard. I had like no time already and now I added two classes on top of that? Gosh. Like I know some people work full-time, take classes, and are parents or something along those lines and that is great! But I am struggling and I don't have kids.

Trying to find the time and energy to write articles and edit them every week, spend 5 days of the week with 2 year olds, and then do homework? It's hard! I don't want to read, then write a summary of what I read. Can't you just make me write a paper? Like I'd be good with that. I have no problem writing but when I have to read, write a summary of what I read, then write a reflection about it. Like come on, don't give you and me busy work. You don't want to read my interpretation of this book and I don't want to write it.

To be honest, I am so much more focused on work.This is my career.

I can't stay up until 2 am doing homework and get up and go to my 8 am class like I used to. I can hardly get up at 6:30 after going to bed at 10. But then again, with classes I'm not doing as much work as working with kids. Working kicks your ass, classes can be boring, or actually helpful with no in between.

Well I guess I better do my homework because we both know, you're not going to budge on getting rid of it.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
