articulation

why is story-time always the favorite time of day for schoolchildren? it's obviously because there is something behind the telling of a story that intrigues humans' minds to focus, concentrate, listen, and think. aside from nap time and snack time - a wonderful story or book spoken to students by a teacher is probably one of the most precious moments of pre-school/kindergarten.

no one wants to listen to a bad story, though.

instead... try animating it by using hand motions, changing the tone of your voice, and strategically using (or not using) direct eye contact.

i am not a good storyteller, but i would like to be.

peeves

everyone has random but specific things that make them cringe. they call these things "pet peeves," and i would like to list mine, in no particular order:

1. when guys wear Express polos with the huge lion or tiger logo on it and think that they're the ish. i'm sorry... you're not.

2. people, especially guys, who type "ya" when saying "yeah" as a response... not my preference.

i will add to this list as things come to mind.
