Stuck Between a Rock, Gold, Nemo, Chalk, Grandmothers, Aardvarks, and a Hard Place

Do you ever feel stuck when you are trying to write something?

I do. 


All the time. 


Just about every time I go to write something, I get stuck. 


When I'm outside and doing something else, I have a million and two ideas. Once I come inside though, I'm back where I started....


Being stuck, as usual, I came across a number of ways to get unstuck.

(1) Set a timer for five minutes. Then, Google something - anything! Now, sit facing the computer and just play! When the timer goes off, write about the first thing that comes to your mind or simply describe the page at which you are looking.



(2) Go outside, find some chalk, draw a picture, and then come in and write about what you drew. 



(3) Google Writing Prompts; you'll find a number of great suggestions like "Be A Secret Agent for Your Grandmother" and "Write a folk tale about a chivalrous aardvark who only speaks in rhyme."




Happy Writing!

Welcome To School & How To Get Kicked Out Of Class

Welcome Back To School*

If you are reading this post you are... 
     (A) Killing Time
     (B)Truly wondering if you have the ability to get kicked out of class
     (C)Postponing any pending work you do not wish to be doing at the moment



If you selected (A), Welcome and please scroll down to the next paragraph to continue reading. If you selected (B), Congratulations  you came to the right place, please scroll down to the next paragraph. If you selected (C), please return to your pending work as you have already wasted enough time getting to my blog, unless of course you wish to use avoiding homework as a way to get out of class. This I do not sugest, if one does not complete one's homework it is sure that you will spend even more time in your class making up the work then out of your class. 

There are many methods to get your self kicked out of class, and for easy reference this post is broken down into easy-to-find sections. 


THE I'M GIVING YOU THE RIGHT, BUT STILL WRONG ANSWER METHOD



This method uses direct answers to your teachers' questions that are entirely true but not the answer the teacher wanted you to give. If you give these kinds of answers enough your teacher will surely grow tired of you and kick you out. WARNING: Sometimes this may result in more talks with your teacher and the less likely option of gifted classes, though if you are reading this post I'm sure you wish for less classes and you may not want to risk this one. 




THE GOOGLE ANSWERS MY QUESTIONS FOR ME METHOD


This method allows you to have google answer your questions for you. This will get you kicked out of class for one of two reasons. (A) You were kicked out for having your hand held device out in class, which you know you shouldn't have out.



(B) You gave a nonsense answer that gave your teacher the hint that you have been cheating on all of your questions. (WARNING: This may cause you to have to retake this class)







TO BE CONTINUED......

*DISCLAIMER: Please do not attempt any of the above options, this post has been written as a joke and I do not mean to get anyone kicked out of his or her class.

Back To School Time

Summer Time, why do you leave us so soon?


Everyone one will really miss you!


You leave us with this back to school time...



I love back to school time as much as I love running from my favorite dinosaur.



The joy of receiving homework again?


Running around trying to get to class on time.


Spending your days like this!


Gym?


And arriving home like this?


Only to know you have a ton of homework

Unless you're a homeschooler.....


And you're just fine because you know you have cool classes to take..


And you know (most the time) how your day is going to go.


Breakfast


Getting ready for school


English


Math


Science


Social Studies


Philosophy


Lunch


Getting ready to leave for your field trips


Arriving to said place


Going on the tour


Knowing  most the answers to what the tour guide asks


Answering the questions the tour guide asks


Getting them right :)


Going home


Doing gym


And then suddenly, between all of the other fun stuff you get to do (i.e. art, music, making youtube videos, posting blogs, creating things, writing articles, preparing for the zombie apocalypse, learning how to win every argument, and finding every common error in logic we can), the school day ends...


Then it's time for homework,


having dinner with your family,


relaxing and then and preparing to be awesome again the next day
