i am now in the beautiful city of fort wayne, indiana for the month of january. i do not have a computer in my room which will make my blogging a lot less frequent and a lot less insightful. perhaps that will be best for the both of us.
i am doing an "urban practicum" which i am really excited about. my heart is here in the city much more so than the middle of nowhere, indiana. we travel to chicago on wednesday for a couple of days and the rest of the time i will be observing/helping/teaching in a fifth grade classroom, all day everyday, in a fort wayne community school. i cant wait.
i am "fasting" more less from a computer and stereo for the month. it started out as convenience...i didnt really feel like disconnecting everything and lugging it up here. but then i decided it would be pretty refreshing to not have the distraction. and hopefully starving myself from my music will instill some god-given-musical-creativity by the end of the month. we'll see. so far we dont have a tv, either, so, maybe that's one less thing to deal with. if im lucky i'll get a lot of reading done.
i got a hair cut before i came back. it was a little hard to deal with but im over it now. i forgot how much of a unibrow i had and erica had to give me a plucking job as well. she's a great woman.
thats all for now. if possible, get rid of a distraction for yourself for the month of january with me. maybe it'll do something for you.
oh, today, a principal recommended we read a book called "results." she went on to say "i hope taylor is making this book your bible. everything you do and say should be orchestrated by this book." i laughed really hard at the irony...i dont think she realized what she was saying.
bye.
