Love Poofs
Pnut is not the only one who has regressed this week in our classes. Apparently there is ONE correct way and ONE correct way only to teach. Unfortunately in my case I got it wrong, even though the students understood what I was teaching them. How do you gage if person actually learns something. In order to do this I try and reflect on how I learn things. Are you the type of person who recognizes the big picture first and then paints the details? Or, do you learn by collecting a series of details that lead you to that grand realization of the big picture. Isn’t that how we as Americans learn? Day in and day out we make mistakes. We feel the frustration in order to know that this is not something I want to feel again, therefore, I will not take that action again. And, to make matters worse. for something’s in life, it takes us making that same mistake and feeling that same frustration over and over again for us to stop. Whether or not you take the long route or the quick one you still arrive at the same destination.
Pnut and I are laying in our dorm-like room attempting to piece together stray feelings that seem to have no home inside us. We are racking our brains for simple solutions that do not exist for complicated emotions. The best thing we can do is to take the steps towards a happy February. This is going to be very challenging considering the fact that we have a three week pause in our journey to Korea, and the sources of our problems will no longer be thousands of miles away but a measly four hours. Now ,there are basic precautions/procedures that one should enable if put in this type of situation.
- erase all bad numbers from your phone. even if you have the number memorized. This step will, at minimum, buy you a couple days, not to mention give you five minutes of bitch power. love poof!
- try your best to work out in some way, shape, or form. even if it’s just squeezing your butt throughout the day. After all, if your lucky you might develop some form and if not at least you’ll have a nicer butt if you give in.
- binge drink- love pnut. Warning: if you are an angry drunk, suicidal, or just a flat out alcoholic, disregard this recommendation.
- find a hobby- and no! stalking is not a hobby! hobbies range from alcohol, to serial dating, to shows, and any other little fun thing that might come your way.
- try something new everyday. this could be a food, culture, guy, new store, new shoe, or maybe just a new funky mani and pedi. if you keep trying new things, you’ll be a new person. love poof!
- just leave the country. love poof!
Pnut and I have decided to take the first five steps in our three week incubation culminating with step number six. A one=way ticket to Korea.
Life is change and change is good. Good is being able to handle change, and being able is having hope. Not hope that you will never make mistakes, but hope you will be able to learn from them. Love Poof!
