Greetings. Sorry for the long absence here. To say that I'm busy these days is a bit of an understatement. I pretty much can't wait to be finished with student teaching. Only a month left. Can I make it??? I've gotten about 2 hours of sleep every night this week. Last night was really terrible. I didn't get a nap after school, and just as predicted ( Read more... )

 Sorry for the delay here. It's been busy these last couple weeks with the student teaching starting. That is going well so far, but I'm only observing still, so the scary part hasn't happened yet. I'm basically scared shitless about having to teach econ starting next week. I know pretty much nothing. Luckily, I also get to teach European history, ( Read more... )

So, I finished my last class in grad school tonight. YAY. I just have the student teaching to do and that's it. It feels really good. =)  I think going back to school like saved my life... or close to it at least. I'm so glad I did it. To think that tonight was possibly the last class I'll ever be in (unless I for some reason decide I need a ( Read more... )

This morning, I babysat the little boys I've been watching this summer. They're going on vacation this week and their parents wanted to pack, so we went to the playground. We did the usual playground things, and everything was fun and accident free, until their mom came to pick us up. Then the little one, who's 2 and tends to fall over randomly, ( Read more... )

I just had a big scare with that one dumbass class I was talking about in my last post. She said something about posting our final on blackboard last week (it being one of those that you do online) and I just remembered it a few minutes ago. I could've been so fucked, but according to the syllabus, it's not due till this coming Sunday at midnight. ( Read more... )

Gah. I hate this shit. I have to turn in my assignments for this dumbass class by midnight Sundays and I've been working on the damn thing all night and I happened to be like 2 minutes late with it. I'm hoping this is still ok... she (hated bitch of a teacher) takes half off for late assignments. I worked damn hard on the thing too.

I spent last ( Read more... )

I figure it's about time that I update here. I've attempted a few times over the last month to post, but then I change my mind midway through and delete. Anyway, it's been a slight rollercoaster of a month. First I had no money or means of getting any for my summer tuition and then one day I went to talk to the financial aid person at school and I ( Read more... )

So today was something. I spent all day rushing to get my last final done. It took so long. But it's all done now and turned in and it's a good thing. The other excellent thing about today was that I visited Erin, Henry and Riley in the hospital tonight. He is the most beautiful baby ever. Everyone says that, but he's just perfect ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday to Riley! Henry just called and said he was born a little over an hour ago and weighs 10 lbs 2 oz. Erin and Riley are doing well and I'll be hearing back from them later on. I'm sure everyone is very happy. Yay!

It's a good day!

I have an awful professor this semester for my "racism" class. Supposedly, the class is supposed to be multiculturalism and diversity but it's actually the most racist thing I've ever seen. For example, the book (which is more ridiculous than the class) says that teachers must try extra hard to develop a good rapport with American Indian kids ( Read more... )
