The Witching Hour

So, last night I was dead asleep when I heard mine or Jessica's laptop make the sound it makes when it's logging in. Well, it was 3:17 am so I was pretty freaked out wondering why she would be up at 3:17. For those of you who don't know, 3:00 am is said to be the "witching hour" where the spirits and demons and yada yada are most active. It's a long believed myth based on the belief that the devil was mocking The Trinity by being the most active during that hour. Super freaky. Not too mention we just saw Paranormal Activity 2 on Tuesday... creepy again. Anyways, I thought about saying something or asking her what she was doing, but then I heard her snoring. Just a couple of seconds later the Skype sound played for when you first log in to Skype. That freaked me out worse. Since you have to log-in to a computer to get it to make those sounds, I knew that something weird was going on. I know computers don't just log themselves in... that's be dumb. So I went back to sleep, excusing it as a glitch.
Well, this morning I woke up and did my morning routine. When I went to check my email to see if class was cancelled, I found that my computer was logged off and that it was muted. So, that leaves only Jessica's computer to be the one that made the noise, but she says hers doesn't log into Skype automatically. She asked me if I had maybe dreamed it, but I know I was wide awake cause I was freaked out when it happened. She told me that if it made me feel any better she didn't hear it, but that doesn't really make me feel any better about it. Haha just kinda make me wonder if I'm hearing things or going crazy!

So... just thought that was weird. Haha!

AND I got to my stinking class this morning which is truly the most boring and horrible class I have ever had, and my teacher never shows up. We all got up, got ready, and went to his class for nothing. And I almost got hit by two cars this morning trying to cross the street to get to class. GRR. That teacher makes me beyond mad. He's so slack... like, don't be a teacher and waste our time if you just see us as wasting yours. And I don't care what kind of teacher you are, getting grades back 3 weeks after you take a test is just lazy.

I could never be a teacher. I had some wonderful teachers over the years who I truly appreciate and feel like they helped me get to where I am today, but it seems like more teachers are bad or slack than good and caring. I also can't imagine doing all the work they do for the pay they get. Unless you are going to teach a college course or have your doctorate, you really don't get a very good paycheck. I can't tell you how many teachers I know who work two jobs to make ends meet. How bad is it to go to school for 4 years and still have to work a side job to make enough money? And the demand for teachers is low right now. It's hard to get a job anywhere right now, and unless they are super qualified, there is always competition for teachers out there. It's sad how things are becoming for those working hard to become teachers, but it makes me feel as if I really did pick the right career.

So yeah. That's about it for now. I have a lot of free time today so I may post another blog later for all of my wonderful friends who like to read them. :) Haha! Love you all.
