Things change
I went for my second interview on Monday. They said they would get back to me by Wednesday. I couldn't sleep much Tuesday night and spent half of Wednesday asleep- half-hoping I could just sleep until they called me ( Read more... ) -
Passover officially done
Seder started at 5:00, most people left between 9 and 9:30. Cleaned from 10:30 to now ( Read more... ) -
Vegan coffee cake: Food of the Gods?
All signs say yes.
Hooray for chocolate-chocolate chip coffee cake with that crumbly streuzel stuff on top- which both Dad and I can eat (and which only had 2 sticks of margarine).
GF wins major points. -
Apparently I am officially a teacher
Last week I noticed some writing on the wall of my classroom in Chinatown:
"Fuck u Mr. [Me]"
This week my students told me that someone in the same handwriting had written, "I hate Mr. [Me]" in the other classroom.

I don't care how small their bikinis are, "golf ball polisher" is a stupid thing to have on a top 10 list of sexy Las Vegas jobs.
And memo to the dancers at the "Crazy Horse Paris"- your accents are legit, but I've met plenty of French people, and none of them are named "Weendy." Sorry. -
Dear Crazy Uncles...
If you don't want me to write snarky emails that make you look stupid in front of your elderly mother, you really shouldn't send me such stupid shit in the first place. -
Dear Facebook and the "iRead" application...
This is the third time you've sent me an email badgering me about whether I've finished "The English Patient." First of all, no, I have not. I thought I would like it because Michael Ondaatje's memoir "Running in the Family" was pretty cool, but it turned out it went on forever with no end in sight- making me quite confused, I must say, by all the ( Read more... ) -
Son. Of. Bitch.
New teaching orientation meeting. Guess what? Middle School doesn't count as experience hours for a Multiple-Subject credential, since the classrooms are single-subject. Hmm. The "Middle" in the name should have tipped me off ( Read more... )
