Like because…Love despite…
So I’m sitting in the living room with my husband watching a movie because what else is there to do when you’re forced to stay home, right? We chose to watch a Netflix movie called “Set it Up” and it was a pretty good Rom-Com. My husband hates rom-coms, but he was actually laughing with me to his, and my, surprise. Anyway… so there’s a scene in the film in which one of the characters is giving this mushy, heartfelt wedding speech, and she explains how her grandmother told her to “like because and to love despite.” For some reason, that stuck with me. We love all the good things our...…So I’m sitting in the living room with my husband watching a movie because what else is there to do when you’re forced to stay home, right?

PRODUCTIVE THINGS TO DO DURING THIS NEVER-ENDING QUARANTINE
Wake up (too late for breakfast)…binge-watch everything on Netflix…order a delivery pizza…binge-watch everything on Hulu…eat some more…8PM…too late to do anything productive now…scroll mindlessly through Facebook…Like.

New Year, new me?
Yeah. That’s all everyone writes about this time of year. Figures. (me too, I guess? Sort of?) But why do we wait for the new year to begin? Why can’t we be goal-oriented individuals all year long? Would society be any better if that were the case? Is it that we need some type of push to get going? What can I do different this year? How can I make last year shy in comparison to this year? Will I strive to be the best me I can be? Do we need an excuse to get started? Why? Why can’t I just do it because it’s for my own good? What are my excuses? What are your excuses? ...…Yeah.

The Conceptual Data Model (Part 1)
A high-level logical data model that focuses on how the business world sees data. An object represents a group of uniquely identifiable people, places, things or concepts about which the business area needs information. (Example: Account) An attribute is a piece of information that describes an object; it is a characteristic of the object. Field types describe the class of data to which the attribute belongs.

SUMMER STAPLES
Summer is just about here, and I haven’t been this excited since I actually had a summer break (that was 13 years ago-how has time flown by that quickly?!) Maybe it’s that freedom feeling summer brings and we need it now more than ever, or maybe it’s the fact that we have a new baby who will be here in a little over 30 days. Whatever the reason, I am ready for the possibilities of the season, and hopefully time at the beach. Lately, I’ve had a few posts with items I really love and use mostly when the weather gets hot. Some of you have asked me where to get them, so I thought I’d put...…Summer is just about here, and I haven’t been this excited since I actually had a summer break (that was 13 years ago-how has time flown by that quickly?!)

Do Teachers Have a Right to Complain?
I just finished reading a post on Reddit where an individual had the audacity to write about how they felt teachers do not have a right to complain about their job. I decided to discuss those points here in my post. POINT 1: SALARYThey claim that teachers conveniently leave out the fact that we have summers, weekends, and holidays off; however, they fail to realize the work that is actually put into it. I cannot think of another profession in which, as an employee, you have to invest your own money in order to be fully and properly equipped to do your job. Yes, some jobs require...…I just finished reading a post on Reddit where an individual had the audacity to write about how they felt teachers do not have a right to complain about their job.
