So I've discovered something really really significant about myself today.  I have pride issues.  I discovered this as I stood in front of my speech class, smiling idiotically, as I waited for a late member of my presentation group.  I rediscovered this a few minutes later as I watched the movie clip I attempted to show begin to play in slow motion.  (You know, even Denzel Washington gets boring after a few minutes of this)  And finally, just in case this realization hadn't quite hit home yet, I realized this yet again at the end of my speech when during our Q and A session, someone from the back row raised his hand, looked at me and said, "So are you done talking yet?"  Suffice it to say, I have no pride left.  This is what happens when you are made a total fool in front of a roomful of people, I guess.  I am, however, taking offers if anyone would like to stalk the guy with the big mouth for me and put the fear of God in him in some dark alley. 

Kids are hilarious.  I ran the game time last night at church during the evening service.  It was quite entertaining - for me.  It cracks me up that the majority of adults treat kids like they're stupid, or at least less intelligent than them.  I have total respect that these kids are just as smart, if not smarter than me.  I have this theory that kids are organized: they hold secret meetings where they plan how best to keep us adults in our false state of denial and obliviousness about their superior intelligence.  Yes, they do it all on purpose, to give us a false sense of security.  We think we're in charge, but deep down I think we all know better.

I am so tired of papers.  Of school in general.  What is life like without school?  I can't remember.  But soon I will become acquainted again with myself, my life, without the constant intrusion of education. 

You gotta love it.
