nothing, really

i'm bored.
bored, bored, bored, bored, bored.
and perhaps a little tired.
all i want to do today is check my email and blog. i don't want to teach, i don't want to deal with kids, and i certainly don't want to attend the exciting workshop tonight from 4-8, getting home at 9, leaving me no time to set up and play with my new computer. i need a vacation. a long vacation that doesn't include grading papers (like my christmas break, during which time i will have 50, no seriously, FIFTY 8-9 page senior research papers probably on topics such as homosexual rights, euthenasia and the history of the marine corps. why can't they write their papers on something different and interesting? take, for example, my college research paper. it was aptly titled, "hermaphrodites have rights, too." the best part was that i had to present it orally, and did so in front of a class of narrrow-minded christians ((it was a nazarene college)). the looks on their faces were worth a million bucks. yes, my parenthesis will now end. now.)
i feel as if i've drowned in caffeine already and i've only had ONE cup of english breakfast. i'm shaky, impatient, and incredibly grumpy.
i think someone out there should send me happy words to cheer me up. otherwise i may go eat a pound of chocolate, which would be very unlike me and very, very bad.
fine, i'll do it myself. this outta cheer me up.


yup, i feel better already.
