Pondering Thursday

Thanks to Brenda for hosting.  This weeks topic is 'Handle' and that can only be answered one way in my mind...

Friday Four Fill In

First lets do the Friday Fill In with Hilary of Feeling Beachie...

This week’s statements:

The Color of Money reminds me of a time when Tom Cruise could be charming.

Lately work is hectic so blogger has had to take a back seat.

Does the sound of breaking glass make you look around for Stone Cold Steve Austin?

When I wander around campus I am amazed by its beauty?

Wordless Wednesday

Hi all,

I know you come looking for the linky.  The last couple of weeks I have been so busy that I have not had a chance to visit everyone who has linked up.  I have thought that was entirely unfair on my part, so I didn't add a linky this week as it is the last of term and my head underwater in work at the moment.  I promise once term is done, I will get back to my bloggy self but priorities must be just that.

Wayne.

Coffee Chat

Thanks to Les for hosting.  This week's topic is:

What Was, or What's to Be?: If you had the choice of going back in the past to a specific time in history, OR, if you could travel ahead into the future (you are coming back to present, don't worry) --- which would you choose?

I would actually choose to live in the present but since that was not among the choices given, I guess I would be more apt to visit the future.   I am a firm believer that while understanding and learning from the past is vital, a look towards a brighter future is imperative.  I would like to see how the world progresses and life has evolved to meet the challenges that have been presented.  

Friday Posts

I will however, get to my Friday meme's. First up Hilary and the Friday Four Fill In...

This week’s statements:

1. I hate hating.  It is an unproductive way to spend emotional energy.

2. I used to love playing baseball as a kid.

3. Common sense says people are untrustworthy, but I tend to give the benefit of the doubt.

4. Once, I was surprised to find myself speechless.

Now onto Mrs. 4444's and the Friday Fragments...

• My life is going at 100 miles an hour with the end of term at the moment.  I will blogging intermittently over the next week. 
• On a related note:  I apologize also for my lack of visiting lately.  I enjoy visiting everyone but sometimes work and family obligations takes over.
• I had a real let down teaching my last classes of the semester yesterday.  I don't feel like I connected as well with the students this semester as a whole.  I am not sure what was different than normal.
• On a related note: I thought I did some of the coolest most innovative teaching I had ever done this semester.  That is what makes it feel even worse.
• I have gotten so bad that I am supposed to go up and be on stage for graduation but I feel like some of the students would rather have a couple other faculty members up there instead of me.  I have not had the feeling before.
• On a related note: Can you tell I am feeling down today?

Pondering - Twist?

Let's see if Brenda got my knickers in a twist with this week's topic.
Let's twist again, like we did last summer...
Twirling, twisting in the wind. Using twist ties to create our favorite crafts While twisting up our insides telling each other funny stories. Acting twisted with funny faces while twisting the truth playing balderdash.
So let's twist again, twisting time is here...
