Word Associations

According to my new and ever faithful reader Ms T. my post from yesterday left something to be desired. I agree. I get tired man! Sometimes my days are boring and I’m not feeling creative enough to come up with interesting turns of phrase to disguise that fact. Hopefully you’ll forgive me for those days. However, I do have roughly 700 other days you can peruse at your leisure.

So, what was up at teacher’s college today? We listened to fairytales and incorporated them into our lesson about Bloom’s Taxonomy. I’m usually pretty goofy but by the time our methods class came around, I was right out to lunch. When I’m tired, I get giggly. When I’m giggly, I am not in control of what comes out of my mouth. For instance:

When I hear Bloom's Taxonomy I think of taxidermy. Then I get to thinking about what a stuffed Bloom would look like. Then I realize that makes little sense and start thinking about something else.

My professor had a few typos in his PowerPoint presentation. He meant to write ‘gain’ and ‘lose’. He wrote ‘gain’ and ‘loose’. I have no idea why, but when one of my group members pointed out the typo and read the sentence aloud, the first word that popped into my head was ‘prostitute’. Because they gain and they’re loose. No one at my table was aware that we were supposed to be doing word associations. I swear, sometimes I’m the only one paying attention.

During lunch, I was trying to figure out which Disney princess my friend was. She got Cinderella and disagreed with the result. Fascinated, another of my friends took up her computer and took the quiz. She got Snow White and disagreed with the result. She read the descriptor at the bottom aloud. It claimed that she was “warm” and we all cackled. Seriously, picture about seven girls sitting around a table littered with the remnants of our lunch and various work cackling. Once we calmed down, we realized how awful it sounded that we’d all instantaneously started laughing. I wanted to say something to make up for our laughter. Again working off that whole associations thing I had going on, I called my friend a Thermos. She’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside. It totally works.

I say a lot of stupid shit on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And Monday nights... and sometimes Friday mornings... Okay, I just say a lot of stupid shit. It’s not my fault I’m not stimulated by the majority of my classes...

On another note. Glee. I think Quinn is going to get her wish and I think she’s going to get it legitimately. Shelby and Puck, BIIIIIIIIIG no-no. And I’m not talking about No-No the hair removal system. Also, new guy. Kind of weird a bit? Although, I am thoroughly amused that Blaine is annoying Finn. Yup, I still think Finn is a douche. OH! And YAY BURT! I heart Burt!

A special note for Ms T.: Jackets?
