I was thinking today about a lot of things (class is over and I only work part-time so I have A LOT of free time :)) and I started to think about my swimming. Why I had started back, why I was doing it now, and what I hoped to someday accomplish with it. So then I began to wonder why every one here swam? What is your reason for dragging yourself out of bed every morning? What made you decide to come back after all those years off (if in fact you did take years off)? Is it for fitness, for fun, or some other reason? Just curious!
For you Connie:
When trying to explain to a student in math that a negative times a negative is a postive, the student wasn't quite getting it. He started taking on a sarcastic tone. No matter how the teacher tried to explain it, it wasn't sinking in. With one last attempt the teacher said, look "two positives never make a negative!" to which the student replied sarcastically, "Yeah, right."
I thought that was cute :)
