I am teaching 5th and 6th graders. we meet on Saturdays. Classes go from 9:30-11:30 in the morning. My unit is on Earth Art, starting with Zen Gardens, the looking at the Earth Art Movement (Andy ( Read more... )

Well thanks to my dad, my coughing fits might be close to being over. He gave me some prescription cough medicine of his while I was home and it's made my cough all but gone. Sadly, my voice still sounds all squeaky and weak. I hate losing my voice, though the last time I did, it ended with Zeny giving me my favorite nickname of all time ( Read more... )

Me obviously. Here's a little story. I went outside to smoke at about 12:30 AM (about half an hour ago from this post). I looked through the windows of my apartment section to see if I had parked where I was earlier. When I saw my truck was not there, I realized something. I had driven down to AJ earlier in the afternoon to hang out with Tori ( Read more... )

It's been awhile since my last post. I've been sick all week, but I think I'm finally starting to feel a little better. Though that could be the Robitussin talking. As expected, school is starting to kick into high gear. Teaching begins 2 weeks from tomorrow. We turned in our supply list today, turned in our lesson plan 1 on Wednesday and are ( Read more... )

It's late Saturday night/early Sunday morning. This is a 3 day weekend because of Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday. I'm pretty bored, I must admit. I haven't been feeling the greatest since Friday night and therefore didn't do any work that night. I managed to get a good amount of work done on printmaking so I could be ahead in class this ( Read more... )

This past weekend was the AEAI (Art Education Association of Indiana) conference in West Lafayette. It was great. The Art Ed Club bonded even more than we already have, there were great presentations, and I got to go to an awesome workshop at a place I've wanted to goto for a few years now....and with a great girl. Sure, I ended up playing ( Read more... )

Halloween was a lot of fun. I finished my major paper just 15 minutes ago at midnight, which is nice because the first of this series of papers finished right before it was due ( Read more... )

A little known fact to anyone is that I love stargazing. It's one of the few things I've always enjoyed about living in the country in Indiana. I can look up on a clear night and see thousands of stars, and usually in relative silence. I like being able to identify constellations and remember the stories behind them. I'm sitting at home (my ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back from Colorado. It was really good seeing my little brother again. He seems good for all he's gone through. The flights back were a bit of a pain. The second one took off half an hour late thanks to the baggage handlers putting on 1 bag every 2 minutes. There was also a screaming baby 3 rows behind me. But I got back fine. Now ( Read more... )

So fun can have its consequences? Shocking. I'll just say I don't like hangovers, but parties.....fun times.
