Well, you may have thought I fell off the face of the earth, never to return again. You were almost right. I was actually chased off the planet by giant ants and smited by Maury Povich. Damn you Maury, I live to fight another day ( Read more... )

Well, this weekend was grand. It started with some clinical observations at Auburn High School. I got no more than 15 minutes combined time to talk to my cooperating teacher due to her having to attend to a million things at once, and the teacher in the adjacent classroom yelled at me. Welcome to Auburn I guess. Mrs. Patavanna (sp?) yelled at me ( Read more... )

So I just got done reading about a billion pages for homework.... Then I find this writing assignment that is due tomorrow as well. Good thing it's geared towards elementary school teachers, because if it weren't, then I'd be pretty screwed. Does it make me the devil if I say that I don't really care to read about kids with special needs? I think ( Read more... )

I think the title says it all for tonight. I swear - every time I go to one of my teaching classes, I feel like I am more persuaded to cease trying to become a teacher. It's not the amount of outside-the-classroom effort I have to put into things (although it is high and a pain to deal with), but it is the amount of outside-the-classroom effort I ( Read more... )

So this weekend was pretty decent. As any weekend goes, no academic productivity occurred. Anyhow, on Friday, I hung out with Hayley. In fact, we hung out all weekend. Starting on Friday, though, we just ended up watching TV if I remember correctly.... I always forget what happened on Friday by the time Sunday night rolls around ( Read more... )

This weekend was delightful. After missing a class by accident on Friday (nice ending to my first week of school this semester), I headed back to Rockford. There, Hayley and I definitely hung out. I vaguely remember being in a downer mood that night, but I think it was because of the weather. Anyways, Hayley was there to cheer me up. How can she be ( Read more... )

By the sounds of the subject, you may think that this entry will be angry or depressing. It may be a little bit of both, but for the most part, I'm somewhat content at the moment. There's no real reason to complain all that much for the time being ( Read more... )

Well, here's another entry... finally. I don't have a great deal to talk about, but I do have two things in particular.

First off, Hayley and I celebrated the big 2 on Saturday. I enjoyed it, regardless of the getting lost and freezing to death in Chicago. Actually, all that was important to me was that Hayley had a good time. <3 <3 <3 to Hayley. ( Read more... )

Well, you haven't heard from me in a while. Don't worry - it's all for the better. My life has been tres boring lately. On second thought... when isn't it? So if you haven't gathered, I won't bring you totally up to speed. Instead, I'll just give you a brief overview ( Read more... )

What's happening livejournal peeps? I'm just writing to share another exciting chapter of my life, and by chapter I mean a couple paragraphs. If you haven't already guessed, I'm done with finals. I even have my grades: 2 A's, 2 B's, and 2 S's. What are S's, you ask? Well, I can't tell you, because I don't really know, but I think they mean "pass" ( Read more... )
