ANNOYED

Today has been one of my more generally exhausting days at work. I presented the All About Me project to my students and they seemed to be pretty receptive to it. Or maybe they were just excited to see me showcase more of my weirdness. Either way, it was a good half-hour this morning. But when I came back from the medical center to get my TB test, they were outrageously out of hand. More so than usual. We worked on problem-solving and ratios, and the teacher that I work with got it ALL WRONG. And I'm just worried that my students are going to go into the WKCE in a few weeks and perform terribly on the Math portion because he's constantly misinforming them. And how am I supposed to counteract that as a tutor?? As a student, you're taught to believe everything that comes out of your teacher's mouth. I'm new here. SO WHAT DO I DO??? idk idk idk idk. Good news today though, I finally got my focus list of students I'll be working with one-on-one this year. Yay. . . .

Could Our Immune System Fight off HIV?

So, I just read this amazing article that explained that there may be a way that our bodies could fight off HIV without any help. According to some things Darwin studied awhile ago (you can tell I'm not a big science buff), there is a prehistoric gene in our DNA that produces a protein called retrocyclin which prevents HIV from entering our body. Sounds pretty cool, and it would be an amazing break-through if things really did work out that way. Imagine all of the people and children that could be helped by this. I get tears in my eyes Just thinking about it.

Dance Like No One is Watching

Hey everybody!!! My name is Tia Love and I am a living, breathing, 20 year-old ball of confusion. Just like most my age I assume. I love to read and I love to write. Nothing makes me happier than being in the company of those I love. I don't really do parties and I'm not in to the club scene. My freshman year in college, I spent enough time partying and getting to know my wild side, now its time for her to go back where she came from. I've been through a lot and done some things I regret, all in the name of experience. I take my experiences and learn from them. I'm focusing on finding the positive in situations that I would usually use as a reason to lay in bed all day with a box of Oreos. I don't consider myself an average girl. I do however love Fashion with an emphasis on shoes. I think I get that from too many episodes of Sex and the City, but whatever. Jazzy feet make me happy :) Chocolate also makes me happy. Being in love makes me happy. But nothing soothes my aches and pains more than retail therapy. Still not your average female though. Just...spend some time to get to know me. I ask lots of questions and I give out lots of answers. So, stop by and chat with me sometime!!!


XoXo,

P.S. If you had to paint a portrait of yourself to show the world who you are, what colors would you use?
