Week #41 10/7/12-10/14/12

The capital of Mississippi is Jackson.

Jackson is the most populous city in Mississippi.  It was named for President Andrew Jackson while he was just a general.

Physical: 15-sit ups

Personal: Wear earrings for a week

Result:  I haven't worn earrings in over three years.  I guess when I got in my thirties, it just seemed like the right thing to do.  I went by Walmart last Sunday and got an assortment of colorful hoops.  I decided to match my earrings with either the shirt or tie that I was wearing to work that day.  The reaction I got from the students was pretty shocked.  You can make the subtlest change to your appearance and the kids will notice.  I don't know how many times I had to explain this challenge.  I guess if you honestly thought I had just pierced my ears, I could see you successfully arguing a pre-midlife crisis.  Physically, they hurt too.  I don't know if they were irritated by not having worn them in a long time or if it was just the cheap quality of the earrings themselves.  I was honestly relieved to remove them today.
