I'm taking two classes right now, finishing up my master's degree.  One of them is pretty cool...Tudor Stuart England.  Henry VIII and the Elizabethan Age etc.  I rocked the midterm today (well, I think I did). It's making me soooo antsy to go to the Renaissance Faire this year!  Mmm...fried macaroni and cheese ball... I have my outfit all ready ( Read more... )

Big Brother- Going perfectly so far, and now my Kaysar won HoH!!! I loves my Kaysar.

So You Think You Can Dance- WAS going well, until tonight!!! MUSA!!! I loved him. He does what I wish I could do...the acrobatic craziness, I love it. And he would have rocked in singles. It was tough though, I like almost everyone left and there have been some ( Read more... )

So it seems I have avoided two very scary situations recently.

For the past two weeks I have been going to Manhattan for teachers conferences, and it's been a drag.  I get there around 8:30ish and have to walk a while from the train station to my location.  This is my first week that I have not had to go, and right near there, a building exploded ( Read more... )

My paisans did it!  Well, if Ecuador and US couldn't pull it off, I'm glad to see my Italy win.  Wish I could go to Little Italy right now, but the traffic is insane.  It's like Mardi Gras over there.  But with guidos.

Too bad we're like the only Italians in our neighborhood.  Seems like a waste.  I always get gypped when my teams do well, I know ( Read more... )

I got a wisdom tooth pulled today. So now I feel pretty crappy. My face hurts and I'm gonna be poppin in some codeine soon.  I've been so busy between finishing things up at my old job, getting things set up for my new job, and going to Manhattan for math conferences that I will now not use, that I didn't have time to get too freaked out about the ( Read more... )

Bah.  It was a poorly called game IMO.

This sucks.

Oh, job news...as in, I got a new one. It's a step up in terms of my career, but a step down in that it is in a horrible-hope-I-don't-get-robbed-or-worse neighborhood.  I took it anyway. We'll see, I guess.

I feel weird about it, because I loved my old job...*sigh*

Lots of things going on that are depressing me right now, so I'm not going to think/write about that.  Instead, I will provide you all with a CRAZY BUT TRUE story about my friend's mother...

In the early 70's my friend's mother was going to college and took a lot of night courses. She was nervous to come home alone at night, lived near Arthur Avenue ( Read more... )

My little chickadees graduated today. My dancing crew of '06! :-( Now I am just a sad mess...

:*(

So, I didn't quit my job today, although I did tell the principal I am exploring other options. I'm so sick of how some people there are...mostly towards the students, but also to fellow teachers...and I use the term "fellow" VERY lightly. I love the students so much and I can't work at a place that allows other people to treat them unfairly.  I ( Read more... )
