Teaching itself is going great, actually, despite the subject line. I really love 5th & 6th grade. I have a wonderful faculty mentor, who teaches the rest of the 5th & 6th graders. He's old, but very youthful and sharp-minded, has a blunt and hilarious sense of humor, and is really the sweetest man ever. He never taught me, but I've known him ( Read more... )

I just watched a pretty amazing film, Into the Wild. Interestingly, my brothers had rented it a few days ago, and then I watched it tonight. My siblings, despite how fucking irritating they can be, have been surprisingly me lately with moments of mature insight, like knowing good music and good film. I don't really care to do any review of the ( Read more... )

I should be doing one of any number of things right now. I sort of finished a rough draft for my senior paper on Tuesday, and since then I've been completely unmotivated to do any editing of that draft or studying for my three finals ( Read more... )

Right now I'm attempting to finish the rough draft (due tomorrow at 2) of my senior paper, which has to be roughly 20 pages. Miraculously I'm at 12.5 pages. This is quite a feat for me. I still have a long way to go, both in length, and in content to cover, ( Read more... )

Okay, how did I get to this place where I have less than 3 weeks to finish the semester? Holy shit. I have a week to finish the rough draft of my senior paper. Currently I have 6 very week pages out of the final 20-30 pages. Then I have a week after that to have the complete draft. Oh fuck me. I'm going to be so glad when this is over.

Can't wait to get back to Austin for Xmas break!

I caught Joey's cold at some point yesterday or Friday and I woke up today with sore throat, sniffles, and general headiness ( Read more... )

It's been nearly two months since my last update... sorry about that.. I'm currently sitting at Joey's computer waiting for him to get back from a meeting on campus. Of course I have lots of other things I could be doing right now, but I have a terrible headache and don't feel much like thinking ( Read more... )

Had a sleepover last night at Jessica's with both my sisters and her little cousin. It was pretty fun but we all crashed a bit early (around midnight or 1). Then I was awakened this morning from the deepest sleep I've had in awhile by her cousin coming into the room because she was scared from being put in a room by herself last night. So she ( Read more... )
