Ramblings...

I should be folding clothes right now, but I really don't want to. So, I will ramble on about my weekend. Friday night, the middle school had its first annual "Cutie Review". It's exactly what self-conscious pre-teens/teenagers need to increase their lack of self-esteem. Seriously, it turned out to be a good event. The emcee seemed a bit slow, though. Next year they need to make sure they get someone capable of reading dramatically without sounding like a learning disabled robot. I was so excited for the girl that won. The scenario could make for a great Life Time movie. The winner is quite the tom boy. She plays basket ball, softball, always wears a T-shirt and jeans, never wears make-up, and enjoys hanging out with the guys. She is one of those girls that doesn't know that she is pretty. She definitely deserved to win; she was beautiful. A teacher saw her the day after the padgent. She said she woke up, rolled over, saw the crown, furrowed her brow, and then remembered that she won a beauty padgent the night before.

I went and saw Madea's Family Reunion last night. It was hilarious. I almost didn't get to see it, though. It sold out Friday night for every time spot, and when I went to get my ticket at 6:30 last night for the 9:45 showing, I saw that all of the times earlier in the day were sold out, too. I got to the theater at 9:00, but no one was allowed into the lobby until 9:15. Finally, at 9:35, the ushers allowed us to enter screen #8. The movie started promptly at 11:06! That's right, it started one hour and twenty-one minutes late. The manager came in a couple of times and apologized for the delay, but it only made the crowd more upset.

Today, I spent five hours grading papers at a local coffee shop. I've really got to figure out a better grading system. I absolutely hate grading papers. Maybe I could just make up grades and put them in every once and a while. I really need to get me a teacher's assistant. Any takers?
