Today is the day that I go to buy books for my classes. I have to go down to my apartment in Brooklyn and drop off my stuff. Then I have to grab my big hiking day pack and go back up to Harlem and spend a bunch of money on books. And then take those back to Brooklyn, of course. It will give me a lot of time to spend catching up on my reading, ( Read more... )

Not true, really. It is raining viciously right now and has been all morning. It takes me about 2 hours to get to Kristin's place from my place and about a half hour of that was spent standing on an above-ground subway platform waiting for the 2 train while the wind whipped cold droplets of water into my clothing ( Read more... )

So I'm staying up in Yonkers tonight with Kristin. She's working on her lesson plans for tomorrow. The kids are going to learn something about Othello. I, on the other hand, will not be learning anything for another couple of weeks. I did finally get an appointment to register for my classes. I go in on Tuesday after everyone has Monday off.

So, it's been a long time. I have tried to stay up with what's going on with everyone else, but I don't think I've posted since this time last year. So, I did some stuff between then and now.

Gateway's customer service is very friendly and gives quick response. Unfortunately they charge $180 for out of warranty repairs. Alas. I am waiting for the computer box they're ( Read more... )

So, this could be one of the worst weeks yet. I'm visiting my parents today and Tom is coming out to hang out with me tonight, which will be a definite upstroke on what is turning out to otherwise be a crappy few days. I just got to my parent's house about an hour ago and I'm discovering that sometime during the drive my laptop seems to have ( Read more... )

So, my parents came down to visit me yesterday. It was pretty cool. We went out for breakfast and dinner and in between, we went to the San Diego zoo ( Read more... )

So, as of yesterday, I am halfway done with my time here in San Diego. We arrived on July 15th and we're allegedly staying until October 15th. So, it's kind of cool to look at where I am and know that it's all going to be over in a short while. At the same time, it's a little bit daunting. I like San Diego. I wouldn't want to live here, but I' ( Read more... )
