Annoyances

My New Year's this year was...ok. Definitely didn't beat last year, which was the best New Year's party ever. Dan brought his new love interest, Jesse, over to meet everyone. He reminded me strongly of Ducky Mike in appearance and demeanor, and as Ducky Mike ended up being BAD news, it gave me a bit of a squicky feeling

I hear you. It's really rare that anyone has any useful information for me when it comes to going after a master's. Seriously, if you're not about to tell me something that with help me pay for it, go away. I get critsized for my intended concentration, too. If I wanted to basically be guaranteed a job, I'd focus on secondary 6-12 mathematics. I know history isn't the best thing, but it's what I'm best at and care the most about. I'm decent at math, but I couldn't teach it. My students would want to kill themselves. My thought process is weird enough on a normal day. When it comes to math it's almost incomprehensible

I kind of get that...sometimes I have lulls when I'm not as busy and start to feel bad, and I think maybe I should be working. But then, the last 3 weeks of the semester with 15 credits were kind of like, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" *rips hair out* I had all the time in the world and I was working like crazy and surviving on coffee and naps, and then was very happy I didn't have to work.

And trust me, if you continue with teaching that won't happen when you're student teaching. It's full time work, plus writing lesson plans and your seminar. It's total discrimination and horseshit that student teachers legally can't be paid like other interns can, but that's how it goes unfortunately.
