Teacher Social Skills: I need to get out more...

Sun, 24 Mar 2013 15:33:11 +1030

Recently, a friend showed me a funny picture stating:
“TEACHER TELLS US ‘I BEFORE E, EXCEPT AFTER C, THEN TEACHES US ‘SCIENCE’”

I completely ruined the funny and, instead of laughing and letting it go, explained the whole spelling rule in regards to the ‘eeee’ sound when made by an ‘i’ and ‘e’, pointing out that in ‘science’, the ‘i’ and ‘e’ don’t make an ‘eeee’ sound together as a digraph, and in fact are separate phonographs, therefore making the ‘ie’/’cei’ rule invalid……

I may have hit a new low in my social skills. Need to spend less time at school, more time with humans.

AHAHA

Classroom Names

Fri, 11 Jan 2013 10:38:03 +1030

Sorry I haven’t been posting about my workout - I’m still on it, and still with it. Will post about weigh-in in the next couple of days!

I was in a school last year that had names for each of their classes. ie, “The Electric Einstein”, “The Busy Bees”, “The Upgraders”, etc. All of them were funny, but also said something about learning, and developing one’s brain, or keeping busy.

What’s a good name for a classroom?

Day 8: Wednesday :)

Thu, 03 Jan 2013 09:07:29 +1030

I tried to make the most out of Hump Day… Did a bit extra, and did some target muscle work. I was SOOOO sore… But it was totally worth it. My arms feel amazing, and I took a photo today to compare physical progress.

Work Out:

- 100 Skips (I’m doing them faster and they’re becoming a lot easier)

- Runwalk… Walkrun… Raln? Wunk? I’ll come up with a name for my technique.

- 100 Crunches

- 20 Bicep curls

- 20 Tricep lifts

- 10 Deltoid raises (HARD)

Breakfast: Strawberry Protein Shake

Snack: Apple

Lunch: Strawberry Protein Shake

Snack: Mini Wrap

Dinner: M and I went out to the pub with some of his friends. I ate a chicken thing with some salad… Couldn’t finish it, unfortunately. But it was good. It just means that my stomach has adjusted and I can only eat small portions again :) Coming in handy!

It’s come to my attention that I need to increase my water intake. I don’t think I’m making as much progress as I could, and it’s worrying me. Weigh in today was at 73.7kg. But I’m not trusting the scales… It gives me mixed answers. I fiddled around with the settings and found out that M had it set to the settings for his height and gender. Before I fiddled with the changes, it told me 75.8, 75.0, 75.2 … All different weights. So I changed the settings and I was under 74kg. Weighed myself a few more times, and it stayed at the same reading. But I still don’t trust it.

So, Goal for Tomorrow:

Carry around a 600mL water bottle during my adventures today and aim to fill it up again TWICE.

Day 7, Tuesday: New Year's Day

Wed, 02 Jan 2013 09:38:00 +1030

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you’ve written up your resolutions and that you’re as glad as I am that the world hasn’t ended.

Breakfast: Strawberry Protein Shake :)

Lunch: Barbecue salads (I didn’t feel like meat)

Dinner: Strawberry Protein Shake :)

Exercise for the Day:

We spent the whole day out on Lake Alexandrina with M’s friends, on one of their properties. We went on the Jet-Ski, we rode motorbikes, we sat around enjoying the sun and each other’s company… They even had a water trampoline!! They suspended a trampoline on floating drums out in the middle of the water, and when you bounced on it, water splashed through. I spent a great deal of time on this genius invention…

The great thing is that, because I was so active and busy, I didn’t have time to sit around and snack. I didn’t have time to do anything except drink water and laugh all day.

And, as a result, the scales showed this morning that I’ve lost OVER 1KG!! I decided to weigh myself and my weigh-in was 74.0kg.

Goal for Tomorrow (which is actually today):

Stick with it, try and keep active today, and do things as much as possible… even though you’re sore from yesterday.

Day 6 (Monday): New Year's Eve

Wed, 02 Jan 2013 09:19:00 +1030

Morning Exercise:

- 100 Skips

- Runwalk around my 6 blocks (When I half-run, half-walk a track, I shall call it a runwalk…)

- 30 Squats (both sides)

- 30 Lunges (both sides)

- 100 Crunches

Breakfast: My clean museli :)

Lunch: Strawberry Optifast Protein Shake!!! I went and bought them, they taste incredible.

Snack: Smoked Turkey Breast… I’ve decided to nibble on protein, whenever I can.

Dinner: We had a “Dutch-Themed” dinner at the Caravan Park with M’s family who were all down for the New Year. I had some crazy abdominal pains so I didn’t eat much, but they had a beef stew or something… It was pretty tasty.

I skipped workout over the weekend… I know. I wanted to see if I could take a break, but the problem is, I pigged out during all the family fun we had with M’s family. I went on the scales and it said that I’d put on almost 3kg in 2 days!!! Either I weighed myself wrong last week, or I need to really watch what I’m eating… Anyway, on Monday, my weigh-in was 75.2kg.

Only more of a reason to work harder.

Mom makes son, 13, sign 18 terms and conditions before giving him an iPhone

Tue, 01 Jan 2013 20:44:04 +1030

Mom makes son, 13, sign 18 terms and conditions before giving him an iPhone:

world-shaker:

‘I hope that you understand it is my job to raise you into a well rounded, healthy young man that can function in the world and coexist with technology, not be ruled by it,’ she wrote at the start of the list.

I love this, and this mom. Here’s her full list:

‘WITH THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GIFT COMES RULES’: THE AGREEMENT
It is my phone. I bought it. I pay for it. I am loaning it to you. Aren’t I the greatest?

I will always know the password.

If it rings, answer it. It is a phone. Say hello, use your manners. Do not ever ignore a phone call if the screen reads “Mom” or “Dad”. Not ever.

Hand the phone to one of your parents promptly at 7:30pm every school night & every weekend night at 9:00pm. It will be shut off for the night and turned on again at 7:30am. If you would not make a call to someone’s land line, wherein their parents may answer first, then do not call or text. Listen to those instincts and respect other families like we would like to be respected.

It does not go to school with you. Have a conversation with the people you text in person. It’s a life skill. *Half days, field trips and after school activities will require special consideration.

If it falls into the toilet, smashes on the ground, or vanishes into thin air, you are responsible for the replacement costs or repairs. Mow a lawn, babysit, stash some birthday money. It will happen, you should be prepared.

Do not use this technology to lie, fool, or deceive another human being. Do not involve yourself in conversations that are hurtful to others. Be a good friend first or stay the hell out of the crossfire.

Do not text, email, or say anything through this device you would not say in person.

Do not text, email, or say anything to someone that you would not say out loud with their parents in the room. Censor yourself.

No porn. Search the web for information you would openly share with me. If you have a question about anything, ask a person - preferably me or your father.

Turn it off, silence it, put it away in public. Especially in a restaurant, at the movies, or while speaking with another human being. You are not a rude person; do not allow the iPhone to change that.

Do not send or receive pictures of your private parts or anyone else’s private parts. Don’t laugh. Someday you will be tempted to do this despite your high intelligence. It is risky and could ruin your teenage/college/adult life. It is always a bad idea. Cyberspace is vast and more powerful than you. And it is hard to make anything of this magnitude disappear — including a bad reputation.

Don’t take a zillion pictures and videos. There is no need to document everything. Live your experiences. They will be stored in your memory for eternity.

Leave your phone home sometimes and feel safe and secure in that decision. It is not alive or an extension of you. Learn to live without it. Be bigger and more powerful than FOMO — fear of missing out.

Download music that is new or classic or different than the millions of your peers that listen to the same exact stuff. Your generation has access to music like never before in history. Take advantage of that gift. Expand your horizons.

Play a game with words or puzzles or brain teasers every now and then.

Keep your eyes up. See the world happening around you. Stare out a window. Listen to the birds. Take a walk. Talk to a stranger. Wonder without googling.

You will mess up. I will take away your phone. We will sit down and talk about it. We will start over again. You & I, we are always learning. I am on your team. We are in this together.

Last Night in GIFs:

adiemtocarpe:

I get to the bar, and Indiana isn’t there

But there is a sexy, sexy man at the bar

And I walk up to him in my head looking like this

But a very unsexy man approaches me first and tells me about his thrilling life in NYC

And he buys me a drink

Then Indiana shows up

This is just… omg. I wish my life was this interesting.

Get ready, single men of my city. Especially you, Indiana. You have no idea what’s coming!

This will self destruct in 5, 4, 3…

GEORGEOUS. I wish I could pull of chunky bangs like this <3

Spelling Technique for Dyslexic

Most dyslexics have problems with reading and spelling, specifically with phonics , decoding words and remembering how to spell them. But for many, visual aids are extremely important in all aspects of learning. This technique uses visual cues within the words to help the child recognize the word and remember how to spell it.

Day 5: FRIIIIIDAY :-D

Fri, 28 Dec 2012 19:13:56 +1030

Morning Exercise:

- 100 skips

- A walk/jog around my “extended track”, which consists of about 6 blocks. I jogged about half of it, and brisk-walked the rest.

- 100 crunches

Breakfast: Clean museli (rolled oats, linseeds, pumpkin seeds and a dash of cinnamon in milk, which was watered down today because I ran out of milk).

Lunch: I was out, and I ordered a chicken and salad wrap… it was HORRID. Never going there again.

Snack: Strawberries… I ate a few of them, quite happily, and then bit one which LOOKED nice, but turned out to be HOLLOW and full of ANTS… I absolutely LOVED strawberries, until today… I will never eat a strawberry again.

Dinner: Clean-Eating Pizzas from the Ashy Bines Bikini Body Challenge book. Quite tasty! M didn’t like them too much… He’s liked everything else I’ve cooked so far this week.

Glass of wine to end the day :)

I went and caught up with an old friend who I haven’t seen in a while… Lizzy. She was initially a friend of an ex-boyfriend of mine when we met years ago. We caught up (and by “we”, I mean myself, the lovely Lizzy, and her boyfriend), had coffee and shared some of my strawberries.

The conversations we had made me think about myself in the past… I went through a time when I was very down, made some bad choices and lost a lot of friends. I’m glad I’m out of that rut now, but it was interesting looking back. My outlook on life and personality in general have changed so much.

I also weighed myself this morning… The result was 72.5kg! Which means I’ve gone down 1.5kg this week. I’ll post when I do my Sunday Weigh-In. I might be able to get it up to a 2kg loss!

Goal for tomorrow: Keep with my cardio and the “extended track” I created. I also enjoyed doing the crunches… I might add in squats tomorrow, since it’s a Saturday and I don’t have much to do.

I forgot to buy Optifast today :( I must remember to do so tomorrow! I want to try the banana-flavoured one.
