Monday

Ahh another Monday. I have some spare time while subbing so I figure I can write up a post. I am subbing for an English class at Edina High School. I find subbing high schools is either incredibly boring or interesting. It all depends on what classroom you're in. Sometimes I actually get to lead some fun and engaging lessons/activities. Most times though it usually it involves handing out a worksheet and telling the students to finish it by the end of the hour or popping in a movie that I will end up watching 5 times over. It isn't horrible, but I feel underutilized. It is understandable because some substitute teachers have no background knowledge in any subject, so teachers will write a general, easy to accomplish lesson for the day. Needless to say I look forward to not having to sub anymore.

I have been tossing the idea around of doing some winter fat bike racing. Over the summer I plan on building up a fat bike. I have the drive train, so I need a frame and wheels. Then I will probably do the Tuscobia and the Arrowhead 135. I have a lot of gear to obtain and training to do before those things happen though. I am sure it will also depend on what job I have next winter. We shall see what happens. I am expecting big things for this spring, summer, and fall.

I am sure I will think of other things to post, but not right now.

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

J.R.R. Tolkien
