Comparing lil wayne to taylor swift

So I had to teach the concept of comparing and contrasting to my summer kids.... I had the bright idea of comparing lil wayne to taylor swift. I had no idea how funny these kids would be with this activity... things got a little heated!!! i shouldn't have been shocked, but I was. They came up with some really great ideas but needless to say... i started thinking about my own life and it just seems that these two people sorta compare and contrast to who i am now to who i was when i was in a relationship!

I really started thinking and I used to be more like a t swift kinda girl and now I am thinking i am more of a lil wayne kinda girl... not in a music kinda way but i guess in a personality kinda way... I am not sure in what kind of way but i promise it's some kinda way.

Here are a few of my comparisons:

T. Swift days (pre single days) Favorite Things

1. I loved getting up early sunday mornings

2. I had a pretty censored mouth (i didn't really say what i thought or what was on my mind)

3. My favorite thing to do on the weekends is go watch a movie and dinner and be home by 12 (literally)

lil wayne days

1. I now love sunday days... not mornings and waking up early!

2. I have totally lost my censor. I am not sure if it was teaching 8th grade or what, but I pretty much say what is on my mind. I don't plan on changing that either

3. My favorite thing to do on the weekend is to have a good time... no matter what i am doing and staying out past 12 i have learned is def. okay

Life is pretty good right now! I still have some down days, but for the most part I am loving every second of it! I am not sure if the new me is a good or bad thing. To be honest I am not sure i really care if it is either!

love you guyssss

Today has been a pretty challangening day! It started off okay... I had to work which I have decided that my summer really isn't going to be much of a summer. I have got myself involved in quite of few things (which is fine...it keeps me and my mind busy)

On the way home from the gym... i stopped by my dad's house and Neely comes out and ask me to take her to Braums. She has been a bit on irritated side with me lately so I was surprised she wanted me to take her. Of course I say yes... I have a hard time saying NO which is part of the reason I am not going to have a summer! Anyways... It started raining on the way to Braums and I see one of my former students walking home in the rain in her uniform from summer school. She comes around to my window and says hi! I tell her to get in and she responds with , "No Ms. Cowen you know you can't take students home remember" (SWEET KID I tell ya) I tell her that she is no longer one of my students and to get in. We start talking about how she used to call me ugly, make fun of my "beauty mark" on my face, and she used to tell me I always had boogers! She is in my back seat, and I can see her tear up in my review mirror. She didn't want me to have to see where she lived. My heart broke! I took her to her apartment. She lives in a two bed room with 6 people....

I am not sure if its the weather or what, but today continued to be a sad day today! I am not good with change, and I have now been out of my routine for almost 3 days now. I miss my classroom, consistent work, my kids, and my co workers. I am sure it will only take a week or so to get in summer mode!

The one thing I do love about summer is NAPS! I think I have taken one every day now! They are pretty sweeeeett!
