In regards to my last entry: I am a jackass. I realized, well after the fact, that I sent in the wrong draft to the literary magazine I was rejected from. I would have rejected that version of the story too. It wasn't done. All that bitching was for naught. Whoops. One more week until finals week. crap. I only have one final and a paper ( Read more... )

Two more weeks left of the semester. I still have two papers to write, one down. That's not going to be fun. I could get more in depth and explain how the one paper is debating the place of teaching formal grammar in the college writing classroom, questioning whether it actually helps students become better writers, and the other paper is about the ( Read more... )

If anyone would like to see me before next year (seriously), you should go to the ATF cd release show this Saturday at Peabody's. It's free. Trust me, this will be the only time I'm leaving my house to do something fun until the end of the semester, and then I have some other committments (is that spelled righ?).

For the first time in a while I'm proud of my state.

ok, so. I'm sure some of you have heard this rant before, but this is my cry for help to anyone more compy inclined than myself. When we first got internet at my apartment my computer started crashing every time I was signed on after various lengths of time online.

So I'm going into the second day of teaching First Year Composition. I'm teaching the section on argument analysis for the class that I've been shadowing, most other GAs are just teaching a few days. The teacher I'm working with thought it would be a good idea if I taught a whole section to get the feel of working something all the way through. We' ( Read more... )

I haven't felt like I really have anything to post about lately. I've become addicted to Elyse Sewell's LJ thanks to Holly. Wasted a few hours of my life doing that one. Grad school is pretty much what I expected it to be. There's a lot of reading involved and I need to improve those old time management skills. I can't start doing my homework for ( Read more... )

I have the best friends ever. Thank you Kelly, Russa, and Andy. :)

The people who lived in the apartment one floor below me got evicted. They were moving out last night around 11:00 when I got home. From what I saw, there were about 7 people living there, including at least 3 kids, one being an infant. This is the family that caused my mom to ask how much section 8 was in my building when she moved me in. I think ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm working non-stop with little to no reward. Last week I worked 6 days in a row. I had Saturday off, but I went to my parents' house for Father's Day. This week I'm working 7 days straight since Sunday. I have this Sunday off when I need to do a laundry marathon and pack pretty much all of my shit. Now next weekend my schedule is from ( Read more... )
