Some of the highlights of this first week were seeing old friends, attempting to dance choreography in show choir (that was comedy at its best), and meeting some great teachers. I also started a very exciting online class--and found that that expression is not always an oxymoron!
This isn't exactly a link, but a fun fact I discovered about my wonderful history teacher is that she has the ultimate crush on Theodore Roosevelt. So, now I know that while Teddy was preparing to give a speech, a would-be assassin shot him. Teddy then proceeded to inform the crowd of his wound, and then he went on and delivered a ninety-minute speech with a bullet lodged in his chest! And I thought that I'd been through some hard times!
Another of my teachers kicked off her class by showing us Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture." It is, quite frankly, the best video I've ever watched. The end will make even the least emotional of people well up.
Words cannot express how much I love this quote.
How was your week?
Love,
Tori
Tori,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that your first week went exceptionally well!! I had no doubts that it would be any different. Teddy Roosevelt!! Everytime I read something on him, I always think of Night At The Museum. What a great and powerful quote!
Choose to make today great!
