We have all heard that saying 'oh no you jinxed it!' Well this post is written to test the theory. It has nothing to do with teaching per se.
I just thought I'd mention something interesting before I elaborate. I've noticed something about teachers.... they tend to marry other teachers! Especially the men!!! What's with that?!?!
Also... where do these superstitions and jinxings come from??? For example... walking under a ladder. It's long been regarded as bad luck, but why? Some believe that in the medieval times a leaning ladder was thought to resemble a gallows, so if you walked under a ladder you were guaranteeing your own death by hanging. Another theory is that the shape formed by a leaning ladder is a triangle, and the triangle is the symbol of the Holy Trinity. Therefore, by walking through the triangle, you are violating and desecrating God. Some interesting trivia.
Anyway. My personal life. I'm dating somebody new, and he came across my blog. He noticed that while I was in my last relationship I didn't blog and he had some smart alec comment that went with it. However, he also noticed that just a few weeks after the one time I did blog whilst in this relationship we broke up. He seems to think I jinxed it...
I hope he's wrong, because so far he's pretty fantastic. But.... I have to test the theory. I thought I better do it before I fork out cash for a Christmas present.... before making plans for New Years etc.... makes sense right?
Ok... about to publish....
