Work

Ah, tired.
Worked 5-1030 tonight.
Can't even feel my body.
Not going to write more, but I shall tomorrow because I've taken off for the rest of this week (except Saturday) because I have rehearsals.
No epiphanies today...except...I have sort of a mantra type thing--the past is the past for a REASON...
Toni Morrison once said that "the future [is] a matter of keeping the past at bay" (Beloved, 51).
I'm understanding this quotationmore and more everyday.This doesn't only include events, but people as well. I love people, they're great, but they tend to be an "in the moment" type thing for me which is why relationships just don't work out for me usually...
but yeah, let the past be the past, trying to bring it and THEM back only makes things more confusing, longing; slows things down.
Love today.
Be improvident.
Smile everday.

mkay I gotta go to bed--school tomorrow!

buenas noches

Blogging, what?

So, I don't do this. Ever. But Paul said I should. So I am.
I don'e exactly know how to umm..."blog" but I have epiphanies like...everyday.
And Paul thinks they're worth being shared. So I'll just write down my days here, I guess, and then if there's an epiphany that day, then holy crap, you get to gifts in one day--the story of my life AND an epiphany..

So, starting off with me in general.
I'm chelsea, but there's a certain crowd of special people who call me mooda >.<
My sister is my life.
I'm a junior.
I'm 16.
I go to school.
I work.
I'm pretty chill I guess. Uh, I'm just not for the bullshit really.
Some things I do: sing, write, act, chill, do hair.
I just love people they're awsome.

Alright. I think that's about enough information about me, I'd like to post my epiphany for the day.

SO I was thinking today...
Teachers are always allowed to pull US aside and help us learn better, because well, they've learned before and they know how to learn just as well as we do, even better sometimes. But, anyway, they're allowed to pull us aside, help up progress, but how come that seems like such an odd thing for US to do to teachers? You know, like pull them aside and say "hey, you do a really nice job breaking down the novel, but maybe you should break the reading sections up into different parts. I'd love to meet with you in our classroom later to discuss more of this." You know? That never happens? I mean nobody can tell us that we don't have experience in teaching...because when we have teachers to whom we don't come to with problems like the aforementioned one, we have to TEACH ourselves how to understand OUR own way...I don't think that there's a universal way to teach or learn, so why come we don't do this?

It's just a thought, nothing major and I'm so open to disagreements...as a matter of a fact,I probly disagree with myself! And I may later on, but hey, I'm just freewriting, Alright...well, Paul will be excited to read this. Aaand Here's to my first blog!
