Prompt 1: What is your favorite way to spend a lazy day?

Writing about a lazy day is kind of ironic for me at the moment since I have left the teaching job I had in Newport. Most days I have are generally lazy over the summer since there is little to do whether I am home in Pennsylvania or I am sticking around here where I live in New Hampshire.  I am still trying to learn how to make more friends and to connect to more people since I have come here.  It is often difficult because I do not want to disappoint people and I do not want to come across as thinking I am a superior individual and that whatever I do is the best. It is an ugly habit, I know.  I am trying to learn how best to not be as lazy these days. In fact, part of the inspiration for this blog is stemming from me wanting to NOT be as lazy during the summer.  Perhaps part of the best part of doing this blog will be that I will be spending parts of my day preparing for the M-TELs and part of my day writing in this blog and trying to eat right and also trying to take walks around Hooksett.  Unfortunately, laziness has become a part of my routine ever since leaving college.  I actually do not want to write about my favorite ways to spend a lazy day because they make me look like an imbecile.  Most of the time, a lazy day for me includes lounging around on my computer, reading and writing.  I am also trying to spend some of my days as of late looking for full-time work.  Laziness is not exactly a trait I want to be recognized for. I want to try to keep myself as active as I can be.  This blog will certainly do that.  I have lately had a few goals that are inspiring me...

1) Being an ESL teacher in Massachusetts/New Hampshire
2) Getting a full-time job.
3) Getting paid what I deserve to get paid in that job.
4) Having a successful relationship and/or friends that I can hang out with more often (so that I am not so lazy)
5) Lose a ton of weight and be happy with my appearance for once.
6)  Avoid being lazy.

Just a note readers--I am going to try to spend a few days at least so that these posts are more spread out.  So, if it seems like I am rambling I do apologize.

 

   

300 Writing Prompts -- An Introduction

 

Dear Blogger Fans,

My name is Jake. I am an English as a Second Language Teacher by day and a lover of reading, writing, theater, Wheel of Fortune, and language by night.  I have recently obtained a book called 300 Writing Prompts.  My roommate saw the book in Barnes and Noble, so I purchased in the hopes that it would help me to be more inspired to write more.  In fact, it inspired me to create this blog.  So, here goes nothing... writing 300 different pieces over the course of several weeks.  I apologize if I miss any ahead of time.

Thanks for reading along!
