I suspect everyone's week has been more or less as shitty as mine. The awful/good part is I don't have much to complain about, or rather for every bad part there's a good part along with it. So I feel pretty awful complaining but it's sort of a mixed bag.

1) I have a kind of boyfriend (kobf). But he's also the very bestest friend of my friend - ( Read more... )

At work, I'm on the Activities Committee, which basically organizes parties that involve extended lunch-breaks and food. Next month we're having a Cinco de Mayo party. I guess it should have been clear there would be a problem when the president of the committee asked 1) What Cinco de Mayo was and 2) When Cinco de Mayo was.

Yesterday, we had this ( Read more... )

Yesterday I interviewed for a permanent position at my job (versus temp work). I think the interview went mostly smoothly, and I had good answers for the trap-door questions such as "Why are you applying for this position?"  I did my best to dress professionally as well.

The weird conversation of the day comes from my supervisor (for lack of a ( Read more... )

 I've shared this recipe with like 5 people. They all liked it! It's also really cheap. And filling. It's a modification of a super-secret recipe that Erick gave me.  Apparently it can also be called Hobo Beans....  I am undecided if I'd rather call it that :)  My roommate said he would like it more if it had potatoes, so instead tonight I'm adding ( Read more... )

So, I was kicked out of the student teacher program today. I have to go back and get my stuff at some point, which I'm really not looking forward to. I don't think there's anything or anyone I can blame it on, suffice to say I wasn't ready to function in a school environment and I'm not sure the classroom and I were a good match. So, now I have to ( Read more... )

A movie everyone -- well, if you're on my f-list I assume you have taste somewhat approximate to mine -- should see. This preview gives quite a bit away but it's still gorgeous. It definitely reminds one of the potential of film. Also, Beethoven's 7th Symphony 2nd movement!

I begin my mornings and end my evenings by risking instant yet painful death.

I just finished my first week of student teaching. I feel like I should probably have a lot to say in reflection, except I'm horrible at reflecting on things. I think it's because I analyze things as they happen, or when I talk about them I think the events are self-explanatory. kickflaw and el_panachino are well aware of the struggles I had all ( Read more... )

Of course I get sick this week.

I'm at the drinking plenty of fluids stage. Assertive Discipline Plan is nearly done.... then an observation report, case study, final exam, research paper, and Reflective Inquiry Project paper. We'll see if I make it to Saturday.

Also, my extravagant plans for snow tires, snow wipers, emergency supplies, and de-icer ( Read more... )
