Today I walked into Maplebrook prepared to sub for 1st graders. The secretary, Sue, told me there was a mix up on the day and I wasn't needed, but there was a sub that hadn't showed yet so she asked me to wait. Subs are supposed to show up at 8:00 cause school starts 8:15. By 8:10 Sue called HR and found that this sub notoriously shows up late ( Read more... )

New Years was definitely memorable. Can't really go into specifics to uphold the dignity of certain people, but I will say that the Robbinsdale police are really nice guys. Don't worry though, I didn't get into trouble ( Read more... )

New Years is on Monday and with it comes resolutions so here are mine ( Read more... )

Man was this weekend busy with all the people I DIDN'T see. Thanks.

Some people I would rather stop seeing are those damned news trucks. We all have figured out that Drew Peterson is a complete whack job and even though he lives right behind Meijer, they need to go away.

I think I'm still digesting yesterday's feast ( Read more... )

Damn daylight savings! I've been tricked again. I unknowingly woke up at 5:15 to run, shower, eat breakfast only to realize I had an extra hour until work. There are so many better ways this hour could have been spent, but it was my fault for forgetting about the stupid tradition of our country.

I wasn't going to say anything since I know you guys are kind of busy, but I haven't talked to any of you Chicago-dwellers since you left and I was honestly afraid that no one would remember. It may be that you've forgotten that I have moved just a 45-min train ride away or perhaps I'm not getting the hint. Either way, my birthday is this Friday ( Read more... )

Steroids are amazing. I was covered in a very itchy rash yesterday and I'm still scratching, but most of the rash is gone. My doctor is guessing that it's folliculitis. The only theory I have as to how it happened is that with soccer refereeing for 8 hours with sun, sweat, and many applications of greasy sunscreen probably caused it. Hopefully ( Read more... )

This week hasn't been very interesting. I am still working on my app for 203. The reason why it's taking so long is cause apparently a lot of my supervisors from last year are on strike in Minnesota so it's been hard to get a hold of someone for one last recommendation letter. I'm also nearly done with my observation hours at Granger ( Read more... )

I just went to my high school observation hours today at WVHS. When I went to the front desk the lady assumed I was a student who was late for school. (I was practically wearing a suit, what students wear suits to school? Oh well, at least it wasn't the junior high.) I signed in and then went to the main office to get an escort to take me to ( Read more... )
