Another day done
I just finished a paper off for my class on Thursday night. Twelve pages long and it feels great to have focused for that long and not taken a break for some "distraction time." Thins are rough around the house and I am looking foreword towards the end of these classes. I'll have about a week off and I'll be back at Beaumont High finishing off some internship hours and my job teaching at Palm Middle School will start again on August 12th. It'll be nice getting back into a routine and letting some time pass.

Taking it one day at a time.
"Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves." ~Dale Carnegie
The long day ahead of me.
The weekend is over and as usual it didn't seem long enough. I didn't get half the things done that I would have liked, but that's life. I'll be continuing to work towards fulfilling my 600 hour internship for graduate school this week, which is not a whole lot of fun. I guess boring would be a more appropriate word to describe it, but it is close to home and they are very nice at Beaumont High. I have alot to get done today and hopefully I'll be able to get most of it done. I usually feel happiest when all my daily work is done. I've been up since around 4:30 AM and even for me that's early. This Summer is really a drag. All work and no fun, I think I'd rather see graduate school just be over, I'm not sure I've learned much, it's more a matter of fulfilling requirements, not actual learning.

Reading and Action
"A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting."

It's been a trying last few days. A friend is in trouble and needs more than I can deliver. Another friend I miss deeply and never seem to get the time to ever spend time with. The distractions of life are starting to wear me down. I sure need a break and one is not forthcoming anytime soon.

Sometimes things just don't change. I've been in graduate school the last 16 months or so and haven't blogged at all. I think I need to start again and get some things off my chest. The kids are great, Amber and Izzy are both growing so fast. Debbie is fine and I am okay, just too busy most of the time. I don't get much time to reflect much lately and that has taken it's toll. Too many things seem not to get resolved. Things left unsaid and thoughts lost. Oh well, today is mine for the making and I am happy that it's turned out so nice, so far.

This is why I am disappointed with America
“Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war and until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.”

Graduate isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but there are alot of hoops to jump through.

What I can do.
I might only be a regular person of little or no importance.
But to two little girls I can be a hero.
Remember your two babies.
Be a good husband.
Be yourself.
