Wow, that's SO a rip-off of the Facebook poke.... anyway, you're right Marty, I haven't posted in a while. So, here's a brief update as I am a bust girl these days: I've been tutoring a girl going into her senior year of high school in American Literature. It's been fun rereading The Great Gatsby, Ethan Frome, The Glass Menagerie, and a whole ( Read more... )

It's so freaking humid here it's unreal. Everything that was once crunchy has gone stale, and your skin feels oily and clammy all the time. It's really gross... Nothing on the job front. Seems no one wants my tutoring services that I have found. The schools that I was hoping would be helpful to me have been very resistant to work with me (maybe ( Read more... )

For those of you who care, I'm still alive ;o) I've been feeling introspective recently, but I haven't really been willing to write it all down. I'm going to Michigan on Wednesday for TWO weddings, and I'm very excited about it. I haven't been home since early January, and I really miss everyone a lot. I've come to the conclusion that I really ( Read more... )

So, it's almost 7 AM, and no work again today. Actually, that's not true... there was ONE position available this morning in Branford, but it was at the high school, and it was in math. I mean, substitutes don't seem to do all that much anyway (or at least in my experience they don't), so I probably should have taken the job. I don't know, ( Read more... )

So, I'm looking at the Hello Kitty pez dispenser that Logan got me for Valentine's Day. Very cute. Wish it had pez in it *tear*. I guess I don't really know what to say, but I feel like I haven't updated this in a long time and there's really no excuse for that. So, let me fill you in ( Read more... )

This is a tricky survey, because it asks many self-centered loaded questions. Perfect. I'm feeling quite vain at the moment, so copy, paste and post. You know you want to do my bidding ( Read more... )

I'm coming to Michigan on Wednesday! Woot!

OK, so most of my kids are off with my coop in another room reviewing some math because I OBVIOUSLY didn't do a good enough job teaching it. Well, that's totally not true, and I'm taking it personally, but that's what it feels like. Truthfully, I don't even give a fuck anymore. I love these kids, and I care about what they learn and what happens ( Read more... )

So, I'm here at lovely Walsh Intermediate School this fine afternoon, and I have to tell you, it's pretty nice to finally have it be a little quieter in here than usual. Having open classrooms is quite a strain on one's sanity (at least on mine), and you just don't realize how much constant ambient noise can wear on you. You meaning me. Yeah ( Read more... )

Here are the countries I have visited. Man, not nearly enough. I need to travel more. Oh, I'm taking my Praxis II tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM. Wish me luck!
