Been sick with a cold I semi got from my mom.  Woke up Saturday feeling like I got hit by a truck.  The rest is history.  Been taking mad drugs and stuff, and I feel almost 100% now.

Glad to have gotten much needed rest.  Dont know what else to say...

So happy this week is over I could cry like a pathetic moron.  Next week, the kids have off for President's Day, so the teachers are off too!  Yoohoo! These past two weeks have been crazy: grading papers, planning lessons, balancing sleeping, interacting, having a life, etc.  It's cool, though.  For the next  couple of days, I aint gonna think ( Read more... )

Today is just another day, right?  I dont have a man. Duh, but today was a little mushy because all of the students at school today were celebrating Valentine's Day like no tomorrow.  Usually, the students have to be in uniform, but today, they got the opportunity to dress down, and dress down they did...more like dress up.  The girls donned red ( Read more... )

So today I was a heathen...skipped church and met up with littlehooli and I had such a blast.  We hit up Century 21 first and browsed the megastore like maniacs.  She bought a new pair of adorable gloves and we salivated over the many cute hand bags.  Next, we hit up the Chinese New Year Parade in Chinatown.  It was so cool because we made it just in time ( Read more... )

Wow, been a while since I updated, or at least, it has seemed that way.  Well, another week of teaching down.  Things this week have definitely toned down.  I finished the books I am doing with the classes, so that's a relief.  Trying to stay two steps ahead of the class when ur trying to read books was so difficult.  I think that this week really ( Read more... )

So glad the week is over that I could cry like a baby.  Needless to say, this week has been a hectic one.  My first week as an English teacher was a mix.  I'm glad because I'm making money, and teaching something I enjoy.  On the other hand, the 9th, 10th and 11th graders are going through their fifth English teacher.  It's tough on them, but they' ( Read more... )

At work right now---my teaching job, that is. It's lunch break for the kids, and I am here munching on some Honey Bunches of Oats cereal. I havent had much sleep lately these past couple of days because I have been staying up reading books for my three high school classes. I didnt think it was gonna be that hard to catch up to where the previous ( Read more... )

Ooooh, today was a delicious day.  Tuesdays are internship day.  It's quite a transition from going to Norton for three days in a row for the past three weeks and then only going once a week.  Anyway, got to work, and got on the elevator with a black guy with dread locks.  Didnt pay much attention to him because I just didnt, I guess. 
Now, I dont ( Read more... )

Wow, ok, my first day as an English teacher: very interesting.  First off, slept only three hours, so I felt like a semi-zombie.  It's ok.  Slowly, I yearn to be a morning person.  Prolly aint gonna happen, but it's good to strive.  Next, took a shower and proceeded to dress myself.  Couldnt find my black slacks.  Turns out they were right in front ( Read more... )

Wow, well, went in again to Evangel, the private school which I am officially hired.  Things are crazy right now for the administration and the kids.  It's finals and Regents week for the kids.  The Regents is a state test all New York high school students have to take.  They're not terribly hard, but just like the SAT's, u need proper preparation ( Read more... )
