I'm calling Saturday that from now on. I slept in until 11:00 and didn't proceed to do much of anything until well past 2:00. I did catch a rather intriquing movie called Youth Without Youthout that examined all sorts of questions about religion, philosophy, time, the origin of consciousness, etc. Beth didn't get into it all that much. Wonder ( Read more... )

Last night, out of desperation and exhaustion, I posted the introduction to my final self-evaluation for my ed law class. Tonight, I bring it to you in its entirety. Enjoy!

It’s the type of situation you learn to dread as a principal, a legal quagmire of epic proportions. The school attorney is on the phone. He needs all the documentation ( Read more... )

It’s the type of situation you learn to dread as a principal, a legal quagmire of epic proportions. The school attorney is on the phone. He needs all the documentation related to last weeks’ expulsion hearing to verify that due process rights were not violated. The union has left messages too. They sent an e-mail three days ago regarding a ( Read more... )

Class is going to suck this term. No, not the one I'm trying to finish up in the next 46 hours, the one that started tonight and threatens to take most of my waking free time between now and the end of the year. Damn, I'm going to need some sleep. G'night!

To paraphrase my Facebook Status: I'm totally fucked if I can't get my head out of my ass and get my god-damned shit down before fucking friday ( Read more... )

Like that? It's a new swear word. I invented it. Why, you ask? Simply because I've allowed myself to fall victim to that age-old nemesis, procrastination. The result: I've got 4 papers to write (all relatively short, mind you) in just under 4 days. Wow...just wow...I don't even really have time to be talking right now, let alone sleeping.

Today feels like it has been some sort of strange dream that I never really woke up from. My head was aching something fierce this morning, but it's a bit better now. I picked up some groceries and the new dresser from Wal-Mart (thanks to an assist by Leroy & Susan with the van) and ate lunch with Mom, Andy, and Beth at the Drake Diner (not in ( Read more... )

I told Beth midnight. That gives me about two...make that about one minute. School is out for Spring Break (except for my committment to teach Bonus Week starting Monday). The house is in good shape, thanks to the efforts of Susan these past few days, but I've got my share to catch up on tomorrow. Ed Law isn't quite over yet either as I still ( Read more... )

I'm in deep trouble for staying up late again. At least I'm trying to finish homework....there she goes again. G'night!

After years of depriving myself of sleep for days at a time, I think I've finally reached my limit. A couple two hour naps will not get me through the day, especially if that day begins at 7:00 in the morning and lasts until 9:30 at night. Tonight I'm taking a break of coursework (our last class was tonight), planning (there's only two days left ( Read more... )
