Constitution Week 2010 Video Clip from Chatt State Students

I keep re-posting this YouTube playlist on my Constitution Week guide at work. It is such a great collection of quips of what the First Amendment means.  There are two, very short video clips in the playlist; here are my favorite quotes:

Clip One:
I think it's awesome. I fought for this country so that we can have that right.
2 minute 17 mark to 2 minute 22 mark

Clip Two:
My right to look at dirty filthy nasty pornography anytime I choose just because I like to.
44 second mark to 50 second mark

I don't give a #@$* if you're a homophobe or not, you need to get over it.
55 second mark to 59 second mark

And now the two video clips. Enjoy! I always do when viewing this playlist!

The Return to School

Everyday -- there is something swirling in my day. Work, PTA Council, and --- graduate school.

School has been the toughest to add in to my daily life.  It's been 25 plus years since my last days of graduate school. Trying to understand reading text, taking notes and participation in a distant education environment has not helped any. Assignments are a little different--discussion board, online whiteboard sessions and everything that is handed out are not through folders in different sections.

PTA council is one of those things that I could have done later but not really. I already spent two years as president-elect. I'm obligated now.

I try to keep my head up and don't get distracted or off track.  It is a constant juggling.
