This guy is amazing!

So this guy was on so you think you can dance. He ended up dropping out because it wasn't his thing but he is absolutely amazing. Check this out -


And here is a commercial he did with IKEA. Awesome stuff!

Fainting Goats??

These are the coolest things ever. I thought that I wanted a dwarf goat but no, I want one of these. A whole herd! I would have so much fun all the time running out into the field with noise-makers and watch whole groups of these guys collapse. I might even give up video games! Now my mom knows what she wants to get me for Christmas! :D

Best/Worst of Life

I promised everyone at Paige's Birthday Bash that I would find the trailer for "that troll movie" that I was trying to explain. Well, I found it and here it is. It's called "Troll 2" and it's known as the best worst movie ever.



Great isn't it?

Speaking of best and worst, I finally have a class of my own at work. It's great to be able to hold my own classes but the structure of this place is killing me. They have these regulations that I need to enforce but they haven't explained them to me at all and my two bosses are both out of town for the week. So class started yesterday and I had to make do with what I had. It went really well though. I just feel that it all is just so unorganized (they even have me going through their lesson to correct the many errors - some lessons are even incomplete and I have to come up with my own homework questions). I just hope this is a one time thing because if I have to do this again in the fall, I will be doing too many lesson plans between this job and my teaching practicum. Maybe that is where the trolls come from in the movie - people had too much to do so they hired umpa-loompas that rebelled and went mad. That could be an excellent sequel to Charlie and Chocolate Factory.

Tutor Teaching Trial

So yesterday I had my first experience running a class at my job with New Century Learning. Normally I am just in the homework lab helping people with all sorts of random questions they have. But this time I got to be the one running the show. It was a review session for people taking the placement test at the state college. There were six people signed up to come but there was only one single student - Fernando. He was an older gentleman that dropped out of college and is now going back to finish. But just having one student wasn't the disappointing part - in fact I prefer smaller classes. The sad part was that I was so excited to teach the Quadratic Equation to the "Pop goes the Weasel" song and he had never heard it before! There I was - all excited to make a fool of myself for the sake of my students - only to realize that if I make a fool of myself, it isn't going to help him do better on the test! Sadness. So I sang it anyway. :)

Hello?! Is anybody there?

So - as many of you have seen, I have not used my blog for anything more than videos on youtube that i find amusing. Though I find this all to be an excellent use for a blog, I think that the time has come for my blog to be restored to its original purpose - writing. I know this may come as quite a shock ("shock? My Philip a SHOCK?!" -Sleeping Beauty) so I will try to soften the blow by explaining why this is happening. I have a new job. It is a very exciting job when I am actually working. You see, I run the open tutoring lab and New Century Learning. It is there for people enrolled in our tutoring services to get a little extra help with the homework and stuff. But if they choose not to come, I have plenty of extra time. With it I do many great and marvelous things - i.e. tag everyone in Paige's two new photo albums on facebook (100+ photos), interrupt Elisa while she is trying to finish a paper (which she did with 8 mins to spare - Congrats), check my email four times or so, explore the official page of the Prince Caspian movie on a computer that doesn't have sound (not so cool), and stare at my facebook notifications and wait for a new one to pop up. So I am dramatically adding to the list - da da da da da da da da! - Blogging! Unfortunately there wont be many pictures to suppliment the reading but I will try to throw in random things like this to liven it up a bit.

Be on the lookout for more bloggings!

Best Way to Learn French!

This is the coolest video of all! My friend from my mission, coincidentally the same one who taught me to break dance, sent it to me though facebook. Oh, I love it!
