This year has not been my favorite year at school, in fact it is my least favorite at the moment. I am not sure what the issue is but it just seems I am constantly met with obstacles and roadblocks along my way. From trying to get things done for work, to the incompetence of my administrators, to spending money and time on sick snakes trying to ( Read more... )

I often wonder if I am totally alone in my world. Have you ever had one of those weeks where no one agreed with, or understood a damn word you said? I feel like that now. I am not sure why, I guess it is because it seems I have been at odds with my colleagues in our lunch time discussions. Today I was frustrated at the fact that students didn't ( Read more... )

I had planned on writing quite a bit in here, however I was not able to due to the fact that it is near closing time and I have a ton of materials to grade for the students and I had to give some extra help in biology in regards to receptor proteins and their role in active transport ( Read more... )

Alrighty then, the weekend is over, which sucks, however there were some good times, specifically on Friday. I had a fairly stressful week, especially with the planning of Aqila's birthday, the baking of cakes on Thursday night and all the running around ( Read more... )

Aqila's birthday was yesterday, I didn't get a chance to celebrate it with her so I am baking a cake tonight to bring to the Collar and surprise her with tomorrow. Problem is I also have to go running tonight. So I get out of here at 9 30, home from running at 10 30, shower, start baking cake, hopefully done by midnight. It shouldn't be too hard ( Read more... )

Terry is the curator of Reptile Gardens. Reptile Gardens is a private facility that houses the largest venemous snake collection in the country. I am supposed to be going out ( Read more... )

I am continually having the most comprehensive, intricate, strange, vivid and elaborate dreams. I continually wake up in the evenings and need a minute or two to regain my faculties. It is very strange, not all nightmares per say, but just exhaustive both mentally and physically. Not to mention the fact they border on ludacris, from long ( Read more... )

I often wonder about who is running this place. Right now I am the library computer lab and I had my first minute to sit down at the computer after and hour and half of being here. Why you ask? Because for some reason they are not opening the computer lab in the boys dorm (where I used to work) so the whole high school now has to fight over the ( Read more... )

So my vet called today...what a guy. He is the man, and now my go to man. He called me with the results of the culture and sensitivity test from the throat culture of one of my snakes. Came back positive for pseudomona...ouch! It is a nasty little bugger that has the ability to really take down a green tree python. Now I treated my animals ( Read more... )

The week is slowly crawling buy and I am hungrier than ever, Those 5 days traveling back and forth to Chicago threw me so far out of whack for eating an exercising. I haven't run in forever ever. Whatev ( Read more... )
