Hobby

SO whats your favorite hobby, or hobbies.

My turn to answer the question. In my spare time these are the things that I find myself gravitating towards. sad but true story

1. Trash Television. Oh how I love my MTV. Now I am a child of the 80's and I think that this justifies that I love MTV. I can remember as a child my mother fretting that I was watching such "trash". Ouch it hurts calling my precious television station "trash" from this point on I am going to refer to it as "priceless" entertainment. Anyway back to my story. As soon as my mom would come into the room I would change the tv to something that had more educational value, like TLC, which still is another one of my fav channels. But somehow being the 7 year old, I was not always able to hit the previous channel button quickly, so more times than not a lecture was given to me about watching my priceless entertainment. Being a mother I can understand why my mom would not want me to watch some of the topics that are on MTV, but I can not tell a lie Sophia loves my priceless entertainment, and we both can be found watching it on the weekends, To this day I most of the time fall asleep watching teen mom, the hills, or my most favorite real world. Heck if real world is in it 29th season they must be doing something right. Other tv stations probably need to take a lesson...MTV=hours if not days of entertainment. Fist pump to that.

2. Traveling. You can find me somewhere other than good ole Scott City on most weekends. Anytime or all-the-time I am trying to find somewhere to travel...my favorite place to visit that is somewhat local is the land of manhappiness or STL. Other than the local hot spots I love the beach and traveling in general. Including the packing and anticipation of the journey to somewhere. It is something that I look forward to and this help me deal with the loneliness that I feel living so far away from my friends and family.

3. I know I sound like a nerd, but I do love to do school as a hobby. Not teaching but being the student. I am almost done with my masters in school counseling and have started a second masters in special education. I never thought that I would be one to enjoy school, but over the years I have learn that education is investing in myself...and this is something that nobody can ever take away. Okay I will step down from my soap box and enter back into the world of gifted education.
