so i'm here at my local coffee shop trying to grade student essays. my first random thought--it really really irritates me when people seem to come to the coffee shop for the sole express purpose of talking on their cell phones, probably talking to people they just left at home or the office. this woman sitting beside me has her computer open, but the first thing she did after sitting down was make a phone call, which she's still on, as if the people sitting around her want to hear her conversation. seriously? what are people thinking these days? are people thinking at all?
random thought #2 - it looks like it's snowing outside, even though it's just dust and pollen floating around in the air.
random thought #3 - i'd like to leave the coffee shop now and go home, but i have yet to finish grading the stack of papers i brought with me, and i said i wouldn't let myself leave until that stack was done. ugh.
random thought #4 - piping through the speakers in the coffee house right now--bon jovi's "never say goodbye". jeez, i haven't heard this song in ages!
random thought #5 (which did not occur in the coffee shop but at home while sitting at my desk watching the yankees/angels baseball game that has gone into extra innings) - i have no idea how to comment on this student's paper, who presents a point of view to which i am so completely diametrically opposed it's almost ridiculous.
