A Couple of Minutes

Tired, I am.

Thoughts and moments of the day:

How do airplanes fly and stay up in the air? It truly amazes me. Yes, I remember learning about the differences in air pressure above and below the wing. Still... it baffles me. I thought about this for a couple of minutes as I was driving.

My ipod died on me today at the office. I was crushed. Music saves me at work (thanks again for the cd; i like). I stared at my ipod for a couple of minutes. I probably had a lost look on my face. Luckily, I only had 30 minutes left of work.

I wish I could sleep for a couple of minutes.

It's just crazy to work/tutor straight from 8-9; then 10-11. I wonder when I'm going to crash.

Anthony (my tutor student today from 5:10-6:40): Grace Teacher, I think you should go to sleep after you're done tutoring me.
Me: Oh Anthony, I have to tutor your sister and another student after.
Anthony: But you look so tired. You're sooooo tired.
Me: No, I'm not! I'm not tired.
Anthony: But you're acting weird, like you're crazy.
Me: (Hmmmmm)

Shirley (Anthony's crazy younger sister) had to write sentences for a few of her vocabulary words from a story about Japanese internment during WWII.
- Interned: To confine, especially in wartime.
Shirley: (excitedly) OoooOOooOh, I have a great sentence.
Me: (equally excited 'cause I'm a geek) Oh yeah? Neat. I can't wait to read it.
Shirley types and starts laughing hysterically.
GRACE WAS INTERNED DURING THE WAR.
Me: (speechless)

Anthony and Shirley's mom made me drink this "healthy" drink. I had to plug my nose as I drank it. I tried to convince Anthony to drink it for me, but he wouldn't. I could still taste it a couple of minutes later.

I had the chance to read a lot of Pascal's Pensees today. I wish we could be friends.

Hmm... photo exhibit.

I'm going to close my eyes for a couple of minutes.
