How strange is it that I find myself not being able to finish certain things like continuing to read "The Purpose Driven Life" but I am able to stay up til the wee hours of the morning to finish something else that, to some people, may be a waste of time.

Anyway, that was just something I was thinking about while I was thinking about what to entitle this entry.

I saw a movie yesterday with two good friends of mine. I'm usually not into what I call "stupid humor" (no offense to people who like The Hangover, or Beerfest), but She's Out Of My League was pretty funny. Well, I don't think I enjoyed the humor as much as I enjoyed the story line. I liked how the scrawny dorky guy ended up with the hot girl. In most movies I've seen, when a couple breaks up, there's always at least one friend that does something to get them back together. I feel like most times, I'm that friend that always wants to fix everything. It's funny because I can't even fix my own problems. Do girls really get turned off when the guy says that they're perfect or puts them on a pedestal? I mean, I guess I would feel kind of weird...well, I have felt weird about it before. No one is perfect, but I guess the guy in the movie was right. When you love someone, they're a 10 in your eyes.

So, I caught myself daydreaming about going to volunteer abroad again. I really can't help it. I probably shouldn't think about it too much. But then again, what if I don't get into grad school? Then I'm definitely going. Is it bad that I sometimes hope to not get into grad school so that I can go build houses? haha. *knock on wood*

Since that may not happen any time soon, let's talk about work. I'm going to start a club soon for the kids. It's going to be a *drum rolls please*....MUSIC CLUB! That's right! I'm going to teach these kids some music theory and singing! It'll just be basic do re mi fa sol. I'm going to teach them how to sing Do Re Mi from The Sound of Music. LOL I'm really excited about it. It's going to be different, and it'll be fun for them on Fridays. I told my kids if they behave and finish all their homework for a week, I'm going to bring them ice cream. So, we'll see how it goes. They were being bad the other day so I gave them a seating chart today, and voila! It was sooo quiet during homework time, we got compliments from the site coordinator. Who knew I could tame these wild kids huh? hehe Just kidding. They are really good kids. I never thought I'd do something like this for a job, but thanks to a certain someone for suggesting it. It really does help me be more patient, even though sometimes I wanna rip my hair out. It's hard to know how to treat these kids sometimes. We underestimate how much they know and we treat them like 3rd and 4th graders, but boy, they're not as innocent as we think they are.

Oh boy! It's 1:45am and I'm still up. I've been waking up really late every morning. My goal has been to wake up early to go for a run before I go to work, but I'm been sleeping so late that I can't wake up early enough to go for a run. I remember when I used to be able to wake up at 8 to go to Mass. I gotta work harder!

I'm singing for a Mass at RE Congress tomorrow. Jesse Manibusan is such a homie. We had rehearsal today and I had only looked over the music the night before. It's a bit intimidating sitting in a room full of really talented musicians and vocalists. I guess I have to thank my high school choir director for teaching me how to sight read. Jesse asked me to cantor one of the songs he wrote. Is is a coincidence that that was the only song I didn't listen to on the recordings? I was like, "oh sure I can do it...but uhh, give me some time to look it over." It was a bit confusing and the timing of the piece was a bit confusing....haha, I'm just glad I wasn't the only one that got asked to cantor a song they didn't know. lol

Okay, I better wrap this up and pray before bed. Have a good night everyone!
