Boredom

My job is by no means boring. There is not a dull moment between the hours of 8am and 4pm. Sometimes, I do not appreciate the lack of boredom in my life, but when boredom hits, boy, it hits me hard. Right now, I am bored out of my mind. Our second semester of alternative certification classes at the University of St. Thomas started today. I feel as if I am dying a slow death. I'm sorry but this woman is so dry and she just keeps talking and talking. The only thrill I have is once and a while nodding my head- whether it be in response to something she said (I don't exactly know what she said, but it was definitely a question) or because I'm nodding off. Thankfully, I am suffering through this class with very good company, but wow, I am bored. It's almost worse that I'm in this class with all my friends and we can only look at each other in misery. Get me back into my crazy classroom STAT. 3 hours of this? Who thought of this torture? Apparently some guys named Fries and Halladay- the only reason I remember those names are because I'm hungry and would much rather be watching baseball. Oh, and one of our books is by Michael Jordan, that made me giggle. Gosh- I'm bored. Without the craziness of my 6th graders, there is a lot of time to think about everything I have to do. That truly frightens me. So, basically, nothing good is coming out of this boredom. I can't even learn right now. One thing our teacher did say, that I heard (and retained), is that people learn better when there is no pressure and they are not under stress. (Cory says hi). No wonder I can't learn anything. So distracted. Class is over. Adios.
