Wordful Wednesday

{Before you begin reading, forgive me if I don't make sense. I'm a bit sleep-deprived right now.}

This fancy number was created by Jake von Slatt

The semester is almost over. I have class tonight, and tomorrow and that is it for me. I'll get my grades next week. As I sit up in the middle of the night, trying hopelessly to write an article critique that must be completed by 5:30 pm, my mind {and my fingers} wander about the internet. I came across this image and it completely enchanted me.

I wish this were my computer.

If this were my computer, I wouldn't be sitting here trying to make sense of cognitive and behaviorist theories of classroom behavior management and the affects of standardized testing on teacher efficacy and student motivation.

I would be sitting at a small desk in the attic of my three story Victorian home drinking absinthe and typing poetry about
truth, beauty, freedom; but above all things, love.

I think I need to create something.

If this were your computer, what would you type?
