Deep Thoughts
This may be my most random right, so buckle your seat belt and let's see where we go. First, about the title...Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey may be one of the funniest things ever. I ALWAYS crack up at the one: I can picture a world without hate, a peaceful world; and I can see us attacking that world cause they would never expect it."
So the school year is rapidly coming to an end. Only 17 days left for everyone (8 for the seniors). Let me tell you one thing though. The end of the year is NOT EASY. In fact, Mr. Townsley and I were discussing how student teaching should stretch into May or some special May term class should be offered to talk about all the stuff that needs to be done at the end of the year. Chapters need to either be squeezed in or cut out, last minute activities, banquets, etc. need to fit into the schedule, and then comes the end of the year reports that teachers must fill out. Ours came in the mailboxes at school today. I have a ton of questions about what needs to be filled out, etc.
Speaking of school, a junior student of mine informed me of his blog. He is a strong Libertarian (but I never get to hear his views on a lot of Government stuff because I only have him for U.S. History). When he showed me his blog though, he scrolled down to a section that he wrote on HUAC (the House Un-American Activities Committee). HUAC is infamous for their "hunting" down of "commies" during the late 40s/early 50s. We had just covered this in class. Kinda cool he commented on it after we researched it for a day and did a brief simulation.
I hate laundry by the way. Tonight was laundry night and I swear when I move to Marshalltown/LeGrand I am most definately getting an apartment that has some sort of laundry machines available. I can't stand dragging my clothes to the car, going to the crappy laundromat, and then spending near an hour and a half just sitting there. I usually bring a book along (I've even brought my laptop to do some work) but a laundromat, believe it or not, is not a good reading or work environment.
While at the laundromat today I was flipping through a Reader's Digest. This particular issue has an article about new science/technology that may help uncover new information about the assisination of JFK. My thoughts on this: What would we ever do if we found out it was a huge conspiracy? A lot of people involved are probably already dead. But the main thing is that it seems like we keep digging and digging, just hoping that we will uncover a conspiracy. What will happen once we've found it. There will be no excitement left over the whole deal. Kinda like when the Red Sox won the World Series. There fans were like "what are we supposed to do now?"
More thoughts later this week (I promise, I know I've been a bad "blogger" lately)
