Oh ho! I started subbing for my old school district a few weeks ago and I just got my first EVER paycheck for being a teacher. Despite it being a pathetic amount of money- I mean, $52 taken out for EMS?!??- this is a good day and fuck, do I need the money!  I've only subbed four times so far- three in our district and a half day in Mt. Lebanon (and ( Read more... )

Oh, thank God. It was just pigs blood.

Just a quickie here. I'm sitting at JFK waiting for our plane back to Pittsburgh which leaves at 4:40. We've been here since 1ish, and the plane from Fort Myers left at 10:30. It seems shorter of a trip this way, but in reality, it's going to take till about 8 tonight to get all the way home probably. I'm not a huge fan of this airport. Lauren won' ( Read more... )

I've been sort of... flat lately. I don't know if this is my usual state of being or what, but I haven't had a whole lot to say about myself. Maybe it's because I don't have much going on in my life right now. Believe me, I don't want to be this boring.

I'm feeling frustrated and crappy right now-  tonight or maybe just in general. It's probably understandable considering the circumstances. Since I last posted, my grandma died suddenly a few weeks ago and that's been a world of fun. I have all sorts of guilt over this that keeps popping up even when I think it's getting better. Also, because of ( Read more... )

The best thing right now is that I can't do anything jobwise and it justifies me doing nothing. It's delicious- because I don't have to feel guilty about it. Haha. I have to wait on my test score and that might be a month or six weeks. That test was not fun at all. I thought it'd be a general knowledge type thing, but the questions were REALLY ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is my first official day of nothingness. It's going to be lovely. I had to turn my final portfolio thing in today (one last debacle with their lack of explanation on important things ( Read more... )

Very very quickly- I've had like 3 hours of sleep every night this week. I'm slightly ok if I can take a nap in the afternoon, but I couldn't today and I'm dying now, but I've got SO much to do tonight. I'm so so sleepy. Ugh. This is very bad. I keep falling asleep every time I sit down.

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and proceeding Thanksgiving weekend. Being at the ass-end of my long, highly needed holiday, I'm attempting to get back in to the school state of mind... and procrastinating as much as I possibly can before I sit down and start planning econ for the week.

Thanksgiving was low-key as it has been for the last ( Read more... )
