Well the first few days seemed to go well. Despite the total lack of preparation (I was told I was teaching a class about 3 days before I arrived and therefore had little to know warning) I thought I was doing alright. We moved at a pace that seemed good to me and the kids seemed to get it. They were able to write the programs I layed out for ( Read more... )

Well I've arrived at Camp CAEN. No one but the staff and a few of the CITs is here yet. We're mostly just hanging out. Not much is going on. I got moved into the dorm room that will be mine for the summer. Its nice to have a dorm room again. I've got a full double to myself... meaning I have a room the size of your typical Skidmore single. ( Read more... )

I made the mistake of rewatching the BtVS Season 2 finale the other day, forgetting how depressing it is. As a result it put me in a kinda sad mood... not really depressed, just sorta sad... and a tad lonely (which part is silly since I've seen friends basically every day since I got home). Listening to the soundtrack from said episode probably ( Read more... )

I had a really weird dream last night. I woke up and I was at Skidmore. At first I was just really happy to be back on campus, even though it was still summer. I went to Wiecking and asked the Res-Life folks if I could get a look at my room, I was just curious, but they told me that someone was using it for summer session (do we even have one ( Read more... )

Sometimes I really hate being home. And I hate my nature. I can't just let things slide, I need to know, I need to know what's really going on. And in the case of my parents this is not a good thing. Especially since things are so fucked up and because I feel like I have so much weighing on what I find out. They're worse than any high school ( Read more... )

White lies are supposed to be relatively positive things, right? That's the whole 'white' thing. They're supposed to avoid hurt feelings. Telling someone they look fine, when they don't and what not. The idea being that does it really do you any harm to save the person's feeling by hiding what you truely think ( Read more... )

Well the last few days were lots of fun. My brother held a LAN party at which we played Dota and Starcraft (I destroyed those poor kids... guess they have a lot to learn). I also went through 2 cans of regular coke and an entire 2 liter of diet coke. Can anyone say caffine overdose? After which I did not sleep till about 11 am, I started ( Read more... )

Home again home again, jiggity jig. Well the drive home was interesting. Pulled an all nighter and drove home over night. Left Skidmore at about 10 pm and got home at 12:30 pm the next day. Mom bitched and complained the whole way, but we made it fine. She did manage to sleep in the car. It rained pretty much the whole drive, which made it ( Read more... )
