Hey guys.
I'm sluffing school today.
It's like Ferris Beuler's Day Off, except my mom doesn't think I'm sick.
And I'm not really doing anything fun.
I just need to chill for a bit.

Work tonight.
Maybe going shopping.
Maybe sleeping.
Talk to ya'all later.

Love, Laura

Dear blog readers,

I'm in American Sign Language right now.
I'm sitting next to Ricky, who touches my desk during class and it bugs me. :P

I got two new textbooks. :)
My biology book came in the mail yesterday, and I got another calculus book today.
Too bad I have to work today.. :(

Hope you all had a great Daylight Savings Day.
I was tired and cranky all day. :P

Have a good day.
Love, Laura

Happy birthday Dr. Seuss!! :D

Today is Dr. Suess's birthday, which is also Read Across America day in honor of Dr. Seuss. :)
So all over America, elementary schools are reading and throwing green eggs and ham parties!! (both of which are fantastic things...)
I was supposed to have a green eggs and ham party today, but it turned out to also be the last day of the trimester so I was tying up a bunch of loose ends before final grades went in.
I was also going to buy a birthday cake for him, but I didn't do that either.
That means I'll have to do twice as well next year.
Hold me to that.


I did go buy myself a copy of The Lorax today, halfway cause it's his birthday and halfway because I really wanted one.
It's printed on recycled paper -- the Lorax and Dr. Seuss would be proud of me. :)
The movie of The Lorax also comes out today!!  I hope it's good and not stupid.  I'll probably go see it on Monday and I'll tell ya'all how it is.


Have a happy birthday, Dr. Seuss!!!! :D

(you may not think this looks all that great, but I did it on picnik on a laptop so I'm pretty proud of my self... I suck at using those trackpad things)
(supposed to be a birthday hat on his head, but it didn't fit....)


Love, Laura

What is The Seuss Project?

So I've been posting for a while here, but I haven't realized until just now that I haven't actually explained what The Seuss Project is.
I should probably do that, cause maybe people come to my blog and just say "wtf bye" and leave cause it doesn't make much sense.
The Seuss Project begins with a story:

Once upon a time, it was my sophomore year of high school.  I had a biology class with a marvelous teacher named Mr. Spencer.  One day we were talking about DNA, specifically how adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine.  (If you don't understand what that means, you are not a true nerd.)  He abreviated each word with an appropriate letter.  As he taught us about this, the lecture of "A always pairs with T and C always pairs with G" became silly Spencer reciting "BIG A, little a, what begins with A?  Aunt Annie's Aligator, A A A"  He knew this because his daugher always demanded to be read Dr. Seuss's ABC each night before bed.  We soon discovered that Spencer had the entire book memorized, and he could recite any letter on cue.  Now I, being an arrogant and unimpressed sophomore, said to myself in my head "I bet I could do better than that."

So I decided to try my memorization skills.  I set myself a goal to memorize every single Dr. Seuss book.
(This goal may not actually happen... in school they tell us that goals need to be useful and reasonable and stuff, and this kind of isn't.)
But I think that Dr. Seuss is a fantastic writer, and I've always loved his books.

So this blog was originally entirely dedicated to writing about my Dr. Seuss memorizing experiences.  Although now it's mostly me whining about my life.
But that's what The Seuss Project is, if you wanna know so bad.

Have a spectacular day.
Love, Laura

Another teacher rant

I know that all ya'all are probably getting kind of sick of all this, what with Mrs. Satan and Mrs. Devilface.
But here's one more.
I would like to dedicate this post to a man who I will anonymously refer to as Mr. Lindner, (**cough cough Mr. Constantineau cough**) who is probably the one of the worst teachers I have ever had.


Now before I tell you about Mr. Lindner, I would like to explain something.
At this point, you probably thought you were seeing a pattern; i.e. Mrs. Satan and Mrs. Devilface.  So right now you're probably saying to yourself, "Mr. Lindner?  I fail to see how that is derogatory."
In my Introduction to Literature class, we have this great book called How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster, which teaches you all sorts of useful insights about interpreting symbolism in literature.
And a direct quote from this book goes as follows:
"Mr. Lindner is the devil."
(This is discussing Lorraine Hansberry's play, A Raisin in the Sun.)
So there it is: words from an expert.


So Mr. Lindner and I do not see eye to eye.
And I quite dislike him.
That's okay, because he's not to fond of me either.
At least I'm not fat. :)
(sucks to be him)

Make today fantastic.
Love, Laura
