I miss going to "Dances". I'm not sure I "miss" them (I am in love after all) but crushes were a lot of fun :) I feel deep nostalgia for that time of my life. I was so so fit!<br /><br />That said I do not believe I miss homework. Generally homework was a reminder that I did not really have my act together, a lot of the time it was a obvious that I could have/could be doing better.Phil Bolinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904446997980390899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177495177779989895.post-69612811922590514722012-12-18T16:53:01.191-06:002012-12-18T16:53:01.191-06:00The only thing that gets graded for a stay at home...The only thing that gets graded for a stay at home mom is canning. I can stand back and look at jars on the counter and say, "I did that." I guess maybe sewing too, but I hate sewing. Cooking, cleaning, taking care of kids and husbands - those kind of things are not visible, that's why they don't get grades. And I hope the grade for raising kids isn't until we see what kind of parents they become.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219157480441117012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177495177779989895.post-90963474165104577042012-12-14T10:19:10.208-06:002012-12-14T10:19:10.208-06:00I dont miss school at all and I am glad that I don...I dont miss school at all and I am glad that I dont have to go:) I am glad that you enjoy your blog though because it is fun to read.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10671133210014330649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177495177779989895.post-41585964060132501162012-12-14T08:05:50.068-06:002012-12-14T08:05:50.068-06:00I always feel really awesome when your posts inclu...I always feel really awesome when your posts include some little nugget from your youth that I remember... Perhaps it's because I think that you're really awesome.<br />As for homework. I don't miss it at all. But I do miss aspects of work or school. I miss being intellectually and creatively stimulated on a daily basis. Sure I do a lot of problem solving, but figuring out how to get the kid to nap better or what to feed everyone for breakfast, lunch, and dinner isn't very satisfying.<br />At any rate I will attempt to be better at commenting on your posts so that you know what a good job you do.h51773https://www.blogger.com/profile/06154060779763625674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177495177779989895.post-76732155527317014372012-12-14T07:50:12.133-06:002012-12-14T07:50:12.133-06:00Okay, okay, I'll make my lazy hands click twic...Okay, okay, I'll make my lazy hands click twice more from my google reader and come over here to comment, just so you give yourself an 'A' today and know I think your blog is the funniest I read.

In fact it is the most of the anxiety I feel when i think about going back to school to get a graduate degree. Sure there is that pesky thing called money, but really, if i was like you and i loved homework, i would already have a masters. Not that i am saying you should have one by now, i am just in a different place in my life with no small people running around taking up all of my time and energy. Having said that, when i do make a blog post i, like you, check it like hourly to see if anyone has commented or looked at it and so forth. And i try not to let myself get too sad when only one person (usually you, thanks by the way) comments or whatever. but it does make me a little sad. i dont neeeeeeeed my blog to be satisfied in life. That is why i craft. To each his own i suppose. I do love reading your blog and i read all of them even if i dont comment (sorry). and sometimes i go back and re-read them when i am not doing anything. lol and i give you an A- on this post (just so you know). The minus is for no picture. who knows what kind of pic you would/could have attached to this post, but i love a good pic. haha!

People always think I'm...I miss school so much. People always think I'm crazy when I say that, but it was so interesting! I can't honestly say I miss the cost of classes and books, or that I miss taking crazy difficult exams, but I miss learning, the lectures, the new ideas, the discussions, the professors' vast knowledge, and the constant assessment of how I did. Because, honestly, I really did get good grades, and it felt good to see those marks on my report card. Now I work hard every day, but I don't get a piece of paper every few months saying: "Potty Training Danny: B+, Being Patient with Jill: A-, etc. So I guess it's the quicker gratification. <br /><br />I think it is one of the reasons that I like my blog, too, and one of the reasons why I derive so much joy from writing really long goodreads reviews. I like thinking about all the of the themes and hidden messages in the books I read and sharing all of the quotes that made me laugh or really think.<br /><br />Sigh. School was awesome.<br /><br />Although I didn't really procrastinate as much as it sounds like you did. At the beginning of each semester, I would make a huge calendar that combined all of the homework, tests, and deadlines from all of my classes' syllabi, and then I would chart what I needed to do when. It was VERY annoying to go to a class of an unstructured teacher and hear "Well, I was thinking about it, and I decided to remove the reading assignment for next class. You don't have to do that anymore; I'm not going to cover it." Because I usually had already read it, and so I felt like my time was wasted or I was disappointed that I wouldn't get to discuss it. Agh. So frustrating, even now, just remembering it.<br /><br />Oh, and Jill told me today that she wanted to "go to Hallie her cousin's house for Christmas, because she has long hair—big hair." That's a quote. :) There obviously is some correlation there that I have missed!Mimi Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15879880111595536353noreply@blogger.com
