The Best Part Of Today

I'm going to say that today was what I thought it would be. Dry, long, quite boring, and when I left I felt even more inadequate in terms of being a "teacher" than when I woke up this morning. I'm sure they were all good reminders but the constant talk about what needs to be done in terms of assessment makes me feel guilty and pretty much useless - I don't know what to do and don't think I do anything right. Oh Well. Here was the one thing I took from the day, however. I thought I'd share....now this made sense!

Perspective on Life According to George Costanza (Seinfeld)

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus?!?I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you go live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, go collect all your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for High School. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm! Amen."
