The past few days have had their ups and downs. Last Tuesday I went to a show in Boston. It was exciting to let loose and go out on a school night. The music was awesome, the venue was intimate yet substantial, and the company was excellent ( Read more... )

Another good week has passed...holy shit it's fun to teach towards a goal. We finished a unit on Ancient Egyptians and are moving on to Ancient Greece. I will also be working on cooking literacy. It is nice to be excited to go into work every day ( Read more... )

The teacher asked her casually, "Why did you decide to type like that?" her response was something to the effect of "it looks cool." The teacher shook his head, ( Read more... )

My deadbeat father's dad died. Wouldn't it be great if there was an illegitimate grandchild clause in his will? I would be the Charlie Bucket of bastards everywhere ( Read more... )

In what can be described as a move out of left field, I quit my job and moved on to another one within this last month. My tolerance for the Montessori School was waning while my bitterness was waxing. I had to get out. Amazingly,this life transition was accomplished without tears.

Last night, my mother and I toasted to "getting laid in 2012." This morning my aunt ate a pot brownie and made me watch the last Harry Potter movie with her. Currently, I am nursing my hangover in my favorite way. To top it off,I intend to take a bubble bath ASAP. Happy New Year?

I am still kinda riding the warm and fuzzies from my great day today. M (and I) performed in a song share today. She conquered her crippling stage fright and made it out to the stage this year. I could not be more proud of her. I dressed up for the event. I put aside my khakis and glasses and dawned my boots and leggings. Then I got on stage behind ( Read more... )

M decided to pull a Ferris Bueller today. Although it's $100 out of my pocket, I was grateful for the time off.

Let's just throw those feelings alongside all the other ones and see how that works out for me. Maybe it's a ( Read more... )
