Life of the Party

      Well, today has been a rather dreary day. I spent a majority of the time lesson planning and listening to Post Malone blaring. Yeah, I'm a teacher, but his music soothes the soul.   I actually use his lyrics to teach figurative language.     Look at that hair volume!  I miss my middle schoolers and this is driving me crazy. I'm so used to having a schedule and I don't know what to do without one.   So this is me. Looking all sorts of a mess.      The bright side. I had around three hours to spend splatting people on Splatoon 2. I miss gaming and this has given me some time to enjoy it. Why didn't I get into it before? 

      School has been postponed until May 15th. I don't know what this means for the state of N.C and its students. I'm glad these measures are in place to protect WNC, but I'm worried about the unknown. Media has made this pandemic more pragmatic and stressful. I cannot turn on the T.V without seeing constant updates.       What happens to all the workers who have been told to go home? What happens when the looting starts and people get crazy? 

       It's day 7 here and I'm okay. Boredom has set in and all I can think about is tattoos. I spent my morning completing some online training and now I'm searching up ideas for my arm. I noticed this morning that a majority of vehicles were out of state. Their license plates indicated that they were from Georgia. Why in the heck are you traveling?           I posted an image of a tattoo that I found. I really like this, but it's in black ink and all my current artwork is in color. What do you think?   Would color make it pop or ruin the overall appearance?       Being at home allows me more access and time to blog, so expect at least one post per day! 

     I don't know if I'm being serious enough about this situation.  Maybe I'm in complete ignorance, but I think we doing what should be done. I don't like the thought of being trapped in my house, but if it benefits others I will do it without complaints. I just really miss my students and work family.  I will keep you guys posted on how everything is going. Our curfew starts tonight! Everyone stay safe and stay home!

     I'm so impressed with the Ring Fit Adventure game for the Nintendo Switch!  I have currently entered world 5 and it's quite the workout. I'm glad they are targeting a diverse group of gamers!  I was really worried that I had wasted money with this system, but now I feel confident in my purchase. 

     Western North Carolina has a culture all of its own. There are expectations that are acceptable here that may not fit other place's norms. 

  Let me tell you something! I love the Ring Fit Adventure for the switch console!  I spend around 30 minutes daily playing this game. It kicks my butt and I have fun while doing it. I hope everyone tries this game out. I could almost compare it to the Wii balance board, but it's way more interactive.  Most gamers really like to play games sitting down, but that is not an option with this.   I'm going to let my Game Club students try it out this week and see what their reviews are like! 

   I was super excited for Game Stop's Winter Sale. I ended up buying 8 games in total but getting four of them for free. Yes, you read that correctly!  Maybe I have become a little obsessed with collecting games. I'm guilty of hoarding old gaming systems as well.   I just cannot seem to get past a great deal! I drive about an hour to Game Stop because our small town doesn't attract stores like that. I hope you guys take advantage of the huge discounts before it's too late!

       I was watching a YouTube video this afternoon that suggested that there would be a new released Switch Pro. This console is barely through its life cycle. Please tell me this was all rumors!   I have found a new love of gaming and I just couldn't imagine having to buy a whole new system. I did, however, purchase the Switch Lite. Ummmmm, I'm not that impressed!  Don't waste your money folks! Keep the one you've got. On a side note, I have really enjoyed Splatoon 2! I highly suggest spending the extra cash on this game. Your kids will love it!      My after school gaming club absolutely loves Splatoon 2. It has been hard to find something that they all agree upon! 

    I come from a community that fully embraces their youth. Our players won the state championship last week and nothing has been the same. I love the full support that you see. I've counted at least twenty different signs for the kids. Once again they have done a terrific job! School is not all about winning, there is character building as well!
