"Can you please give me a demonstration of a barbaric yawp?"

Oh, dear readers, I must apologize for my ridiculous absence from blogging. It appears that final exams, projects, and papers overwhelmed me to a point where I was unable to consider writing anything other than what was necessary. But, alas! I am alive and well and, thus, have returned.


However, I must say that I really do not have too much to discuss. I am grateful for the lovely (though disturbingly warm) holiday season. I am relishing the time spent with family and friends; after a difficult semester, nothing feels better than the warmth of home.


This evening, I am taking the opportunity to watch my favorite movies. First and foremost, I'm watching Dead Poets' Society, which is, without question, my favorite movie of all time. Whenever I watch this movie, I feel motivated to learn and explore and express and create! It makes me want to run a marathon (which we all know I'm physically incapable of doing) and then paint for days on end (which I am capable of doing). I can only hope that if I'm ever so fortunate to be a teacher, that I maintain the ability to inspire as Professor Keating (hollaback Robin Williams) is able to do in this movie. Hell, he is a fictional character and I'm still inspired.
Side note: This is filmed at St. Andrews' School. B-E-A-UTIFUL!


I really don't have much to share, dear, devoted readers. I hope you're all enjoying a wonderful holiday season. Oh, and do yourself (and society.....and myself) a favor, and be grateful this year. Whatever you have, I guarantee there are so many with so much less. If you're able to read this on a computer, you should be grateful. Remember, if the entire world put their problems in a pile, you'd likely take yours back.


Merry ChristmaChanuKwanzaaEid!
