The fun part
Although many of my teaching methods classes appear to be utterly useless, I'm actually learning something in my History/Social Science class. Instead of a gazillion tiny projects due each week, we have a long-term project to build a two-week unit on an H/SS topic. I chose the transcontinental railroad, and I'm having a great time with this thing ( Read more... ) -

#12. Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict - Laurie Viera Rigler
Contemporary girl who just suffered a breakup somehow wakes up in Regency England living a life straight out of one of the Jane Austen novels she loves. Cute, I guess. It was a fast read, but it was kind of cheap. There just wasn't a lot of depth to this one. I'd put it at the ( Read more... ) -
Where will you stand when the flood comes?
Spring break is almost over. ::sob::: and that list of things to do - school projects, cleaning closets, washing my car, reading, etc, all got ignored thanks to the Sci Fi channel showing an entire week of back to back Battlestar Galactica episodes.

Why I'm like a 14 year old boy
So...I love the middleschoolers. Particularly the boys who prefer to sit and stare at the clock than do some work.
I'm not going to do it. You can't make me. I don't care about my grade. I'll go to high school anyway. Go ahead, threaten to call my parents. They can't make me do it either. Hey look! The second hand just circled the clock ( Read more... ) -

Bastards!
Forward AND backward!
And Jin! One of my favorites!
So flash fowards in multiple time periods. Flash backs. On the island. What has happened already and the outline for the future...those writers have to have some serious time/space continuum problems going on in their heads right about now.
Plus, by my count, there are 7 souls who ( Read more... )
