Sleepless Nights

by I.M. (one of my students)

Have you ever had sleepless nights? You know, the kind of nights when you can't sleep. Sleepless nights can come any time. Most of the time it happens when you are going somewhere fun or on a vacation. For me, sleepless nights are kind of fun.

Sleepless nights will have you wondering what the next day will be like. Like for boys, if you buy a girl something for Christmas you'll be wondering if she likes it or not. I don't know how the girls' sleepless nights are, but I bet they are pretty weird. Sometimes you have sleepless nights because you stayed up too late, and you can't go to sleep. I mostly have sleepless nights because of who I'm thinking about that whole day.

When you have sleepless nights you try to go to sleep but you just can't. You will just be laying in the bed with your eyes closed but not asleep. Then every five minutes you'll look at the clock. But me, if I have a sleepless night I just write. Just like I'm doing right now.

Some people, if they have a sleepless night, they draw, write, think, or just start reading. Sleepless nights are quiet and peaceful. Sleepless nights come every now and then. But when they come you always have a lot on your mind. If you go to school, you'll have a big test or class on your mind.

My favorite thing to think about on sleepless nights is football. Most people like to think of their favorite thing on sleepless nights. Sleepless nights might have you tired the next day, but you will have more time to write, read, think, or draw. In a couple of hours, your sleepless night will be gone. But when you close your eyes, your alarm goes off.

The End.

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
