While I'm glad I am able to say that in some small way I helped re-elect President Obama, the level of hatred that resurfaced last night just made me sad. And this morning it pissed me off. I had to just start pulling people off of my friend's list on Facebook--need to do a good purge for other reasons too--because it makes no sense to me that just because your candidate didn't win you question someone's morals, religion or generally disrespect them as a human. And I was tired of hiding them from my feed to avoid the foolishness. My life is about bringing as much positivity to it as I possibly can. People who can't see past their own front doors seem incapable of being happy so I can't keep them around anymore.
Moving on. I taught my last night of class tonight. It went well, we wrapped up about 15 minutes early but got a chance to cover all the material, quiz went well and got a few nice activities in as well as Cosby Show clips--can't beat that. My next class starts in a month. Just gotta get the grades in and take a deep breath. Okay that's it for tonight.
As we gear up for our elections, I knkow some people will not see the good in any candidate that wins except their favourite.
ReplyDeleteYeah that's what I hate about elections. Would be much nicer if there was a set period of nomination. A debate or two and then we vote. No year long campaigning because that just lets people get entrenched in their views and start sounding irrational.
