I am working. Really.
Mar. 8th, 2004 05:35 pmTwo of my schools are on spring break this week, and apparently, my brain went with it. I can't seem to concentrate on special occasion speeches. And I'm hungry. That's it. I'll blame the hunger.
[x] Part 1 -- The Basics [x]
What's your name? ::: Suzanne
Birthplace ::: Childress, TX
Age ::: 28...for a week and three days more, at least *clings desperately to her youth*

Your fears ::: insects that sting, my friends being unsafe
Your perfect room ::: Any room that contains Michael Rosenbaum
What you practically do in a day ::: drink about half a pot of coffee, watch the View, do at least 20 minutes of cardio (better than nothing, right?), shower, dress, go to one or two schools and amaze my students with how charming and modest I am, grade just enough papers that I don't fear they will take over the house, run some random errand, watch some sort of TV at night while I eat dinner, grade, make my to-do list for the next day.
[x] Part 3 -- What is/are... [x]
Words you overuse ::: hilarious, actually, probably, quite, incredibly, bastard

Fast Food Nation
I've heard good things about this book - what did you think of it?

Date: 2004-03-10 09:07 pm (UTC)I loved it. Two thumbs up. Very informative, and the writer is kind of a smartass, which I always enjoy. But if you're madly in love with hamburgers, maybe you want to skip it. I didn't touch meat for a month after I finished it...just couldn't do it. But I'm over that now. :)
