Sometimes you feel like a shrimp...

Sometimes you don't



Whoever came up with this has way too much time on their hands, in my humble opinion. It does look like a neat idea though. Also, I get a day off from work and what do I do with it? I register to take the PRAXIS. That's right folks, this pathetic excuse for an exam, and I need to take it to prove to the state of Minnesota that I am fit to teach its children. There went my day off. Where did it go? I don't see relaxation anytime soon. Darn.

Stephen Colbert on AmeriCorps

Funny! Why would anybody do anything nice for anyone else without getting paid for it? Outrageous! AmeriCorps shout-out!

Interesting fact: For every ONE spot in AmeriCorps, TWO applicants get turned away. I did not realize this until this video. Thanks Stephen Colbert!

In case you're wondering where I've been spending my time online in the past week, it's here: Bookmooch.com. The site is an awesome book trade site that I discovered in my favorite monthly magazine, Skirt! The site is a book exchange site, and it's free to join and trade, as long as you pay the postage of the books you are sending to other people. You gain points by giving away books, and can use those points to mooch books from other people. The inventory is solid, and usually in good condition. I've yet to receive a book from someone, but that's only because I just started mootching at the beginning of the week. I'll keep readers posted. Just wanted to let you know of another resource for book swapping, and let you know of another reason why the internet is amazing.
