November is "School Will Try To Kill Me" Month

I have been and will be super busy this month. I wrote two papers this week, and have six more due before Thanksgiving break. If this doesn't sound like too much, just remember that I also need to:

1. Take 2 Spanish tests
2. Work on a Spanish essay assignment (Not included in official count because it's shorter than the others)
3. Figure out the Thanksgiving menu and go grocery shopping (we're having the meal at my/my sister's apartments this year)
4. Start studying for my CSETS
5. Get my security clearance
6. Do my weekly Spanish assignments (ranging from 5-17 sections per week)
7. Write my questions for the Spanish oral final
8. Start my Classroom Observation essay
9. Make time for persistent friends' social obligations

I don't deal with stress well, so oftentimes number 9 gets ignored since I don't like people, but I feel guilty when I let my friends down so I try to fit things in.

The reason I'm complaining about all of this is to kind of let people know why I'll most likely be very scarce in posts. I know this doesn't matter, as no one really reads this (especially not regularly), but if there is someone out there who does I figure I should let them know that I'm busy, not dead.

I Love Bad Music

I recently had a Youtube-link off with a couple of friends via Skype the other day, and it caused me to realize that some of my favorite links are of what is possibly the worst music ever made. I love a bad commercial as much as the next guy or gal (who doesn't love hits like "Ugly Furniture"?)



But it's the amazingly bad music videos that can make me believe that we truly live in a beautiful world. With this in mind, I decided to give myself a writing break and post my five favorite bad/weird music videos. I want to point out that some of these aren't necessarily bad, but all are ones that make me wonder about the sanity of the world in which we live. I hope you enjoy!
