my mother the drama queen
I think I'm going through some kind of transition phase. I'm not entirely sure what it is that I want to change or what it is that is changing. I'm feeling very thoughtful all the time. I have this need to read philosophical books and have meaningful discussions and figure out what I want from life. Perhaps it is the big scary thirties approaching ( Read more... ) -
I didn't bring a note
First day back to school after holidays. My teacher complained to me that I should've brought her a note from a doctor that states that I had cold for the whole week before the holiday. I understand why she'd like to see one, but it is not to my knowledge a standard procedure in my school to ask such paper from students, so I couldn't possibly have ( Read more... ) -
on teachers and teaching
New layout. I was getting so tired to squinting to read what I had written or adjusting the laptop screen for some more contrast. Here is the contrast. No more squinting. Perhaps also this new layout could be the perfect analogy for a fresh start? The cynical me says... we'll see about that.
I've been on our scheduled autumn holiday this week. It ( Read more... ) -
sick
I'm awfully sick. My nose is stuffed, my throat is sore and I feel like shit. I want to slip between the covers and sleep, but Daughter has other plans. She wants to stay awake and play. This morning our little family woke up to find out that we are all suffering from a very sudden case of autumn cold. So since we are all sick, I get no pass on the ( Read more... ) -
I've been doing some thinking...
I stayed at home today as I planned. Before going to bed for the night, I switched off my cellphone's alarm and slept soundly 'til 10am. Daughter woke up only twice to feed a bit, but that doesn't really interfere with my sleeping anymore as I'm so used to it. There was a time when I would've had hard time falling back to sleep after being woken up ( Read more... ) -
a very very bad day
I'm no longer sure what to do with myself. I have been crying all evening to the point that I no longer bother to wipe my tears away, because more will flow down my cheeks momentarily anyway. And why am I so upset? Because we had the meeting I so much wanted we would have at school and about half way through it changed from nice conversation to ( Read more... ) -
Trying to be an Adult
This morning I went to talk with my guidance councellor and school psychologist about the situation at my department. After the fashion show meeting where angry words were exchanged, I've spent a lot of time thinking about why this argument happened in the first place. I realized quite soon that although it was the little misunderstandings ( Read more... ) -
Much Drama about nothing much
It seems my life has suddenly speeded up. It's not only that my school began. There is just a lot of stuff happening, not only to me personally, but to those around me as well.
First of all I do have to mention that Daughter got her first teeth. The two barely visible pearly whites appeared one morning after two weeks of badly slept nights and ( Read more... ) -
The eclipse of the sun
Today we admired the partial eclipse of the sun. Around these quarters of the globe it was about 50%. Had we travelled to the northernmost parts of the country, it would've been closer to 80%. But even as only halfway there it was rather impressive. I get very excited about things like this. I don't really know or understand much about astronomy, ( Read more... ) -
