There should be an activity tracker called, "Hey, Fatty!" and it would have a voice that sounds like Liam Neeson.

So I got a Misfit today - tried out an iFit and was NOT A GOOD BUY. I also flirted with nerds at Best Buy because it's fun and I know they all hate their jobs because, 1) it's retail. woof. and 2) they have to talk to idiots all day and answer the same questions over and over. I mean, I do that, too - but I'm changing lives, damnit. My little idiots are blossoming into wonderful people who know how to analyze literature and create an effective thesis statement! Huzzah!

Anyway, I was tempted to purchase the Misfit because it was on sale (only $30 - wahoo!) and of course, because of this:

I'm a dear little reindeer - why don't I fit in? 

I think the main reason why I want an activity tracker is because it'll be staring me in the face all day, telling me to get my steps in. I want those 10,000 steps, and I want to meet at least one of my goals - I mean, I'm great at setting them....meeting them is another story. Life is hard, and I'm a misfit. 

This week also marks the beginning of the 4th quarter of the school year. 10 weeks left, baby! We're in the home stretch, and this is the time of year that flies by and is stressful, horrible, difficult, and wonderful all at the same time. It's great. And I get to teach 4 different Shakespeare plays, so while I'm a misfit, I'm also Lady Macbeth, Viola, Calpurnia, and Juliet. I mean, I could be male characters too, but the only time I ever picture myself as a male is when I'm Harry James Potter, casting a patronus spell. Speaking of reading, I need to go re-read The Lottery, chapter 4 of The Great Gatsby, a few chapters from Shane, and brush up on books 5-10 of The Odyssey. And tomorrow night I have 13 papers to grade before the deadline on Tuesday at noon. AAAAAAAUGH! Misfit, help me manage my life AND my activity!
