happy easter. there is actually life on the streets and in the markets today despite the downpouring rain.

i went to the 'cult' today, that's what i'm calling this new spiritual place i go to on sundays. it's not a church, they call it the center for spiritual living. they basically try to combine all basic theories of all religions...sometimes its interesting, but sometimes it's extreemly cult like. i go because of my cancer friend, as in my friend who's astrological sign is cancer, not as in my friend who has cancer. she's a very cool lady who's traveled with me in berlin, turkey and ireland. she keeps me sort of reminded that there is magic in life. she collects metal...which is interesting because the scorpio also collects metal...i collect playing cards, they collect metal. oh...i'm gonna have to blog about the latest playing cards...i have to tell you about that. but a different time.

anyways, so the 'cult' lady is telling us that today is the shift of consciousness day. as in get yourself ready -for what ever needs to be shifted, get set -aware, and go -move forward, with the past cut away. ...well honestly i have to say that was a bit passe' what she said today. i would have like something a bit more earth shattering...but whatever, shift of conscioussness okay fine.

by the way i was really disappointed with oceans thirteen and the bourne ultimatum. oceans thirteen seems like a bunch of good ol boy hollywood men who like what they see, just sort of playing themselves...but badly. i don't know it was annoying. the editing in the bourne ultimatum bothered me as well...how much anticipation does the editor think a person can have. after a while i stopped caring. but i did like the random cameo appearance from daniel bruhl though. :)))

so yeah. well i still have to configure all my students grades. i decided i'm going to be the nicest ta ever and bump up the grades because i'm so pissed off at this institution. i'm not going to fail anyone either, i'm just going to give incompletes...because i really liked my class this quarter. i had a fourteen years old, who was kind of nerdy and insecure at the beginning but this big football player, who's loud and really excited to learn german, took the fourteen year old under his big football wing and they've become good friends. that's just an example of two of them...but i don't know, the class just clicked really well this quarter..... teaching is always the best part of the day...it's the fun part. it's like having an audience haha.

so yeah... happy easter.
