Blah, blah blah blah blah....BLAH.

Just scored portfolios. For 4 hours. Brain is mush. Need to clear head.

AHHHHHHHHHHH! Brbrbrbrbrbrrrrrr!

Ok, much better now. I feel capable of coherent thought again. For a few minutes there as I looked at this blank screen and thought I should take advantage of this down time waiting for everyone to finish, I could not even type a simple sentence. I had a moment of panic--what if bad writing is contagious? What if all the crap I just read infiltrated my brain and wiped out whatever part that is that controls logic and creativity? What if I, too, start writing papers about the influence our growing Hispanic population has had on our culture and list Taco Bell as one of their valuable contributions? Or, in a paper defending our country's post-9/11 military actions, describe how we went to "Taliban" and bombed it...as though Taliban is a country?

But I feel purged now and am ready to officially begin my spring break. We got finished about an hour early, and I think a couple of us are going to a nearby watering hole before we have to go pick up our kids and be responsible adults.

Hopefully I will be blogging some throughout my break. I sure ain't going anywhere this week. But if you don't hear from me for a few days, know that I am letting off some steam and getting some much-needed naps. And maybe indulging in a few adult beverages.

In the meantime, think about how sad our world would be without Taco Bell.

The priceless quote I read: "Bin Laden came over here and bombed us, so we bombed IRAQ right back."

Stellar.

Hey, I think I read that portfolio, too! I almost started banging my head on the table. But that may have been distracting to my neighbors.

Ah, the small perks to jumping the river! :-) Sorry I missed it this year....
