Kathy and I always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
I'm working Dicken's
(blog entry)
Because I'm an idiot and a glutton for punishment.
And I have convincing friends. (Thanks guys!)
I'm super excited... but nervous because I have this gigantic, 90 page paper to write that is due in December. Plus, I have all these papers ...

Gotta love my job
(blog entry)
Today was an interesting day at work.
1) Two girls got into a pretty vicious fight during lunch. One of them ended up in the nurse's office with cuts and bruises.
2) I took a PSP away from my worst student and gave it to the principal. The st...

I can't believe I did it
(blog entry)
I got all my grading done. Well, ok, I rushed through the Social Studies junk, but I'm going back later this week and really looking at it all. Now, I need to get busy on writing the first part of my PACT paper thing. I haven't even looked at w...

My lack of eloquence
(blog entry)
I'm not a linguist. Words are great, but when I try putting them together to form a joke or a funny story, I somehow always fail. I'm not a romantic in that regard either. I can't write beautiful poetry that would make men (or women) want me. ...

List
(blog entry)
Usually I make it out of Faire unscathed, but not this weekend. Not only do I have bumps on my head from knocking my noggin against my favorite scotch bottle on Friday night multiple times after I discovered I had been dropped from all my classes...

about me
I wish my lawn was an emo kid so it would cut itself.
Because I'm an idiot and a glutton for punishment.
And I have convincing friends. (Thanks guys!)
I'm super excited... but nervous because I have this gigantic, 90 page paper to write that is due in December. Plus, I have all these papers that my students keep giving to me and expecting me to do something with. Like grade them or something.
I guess if I keep working hard (and stop blogging so damn much) I can keep on top of it all.
(The pic is of all the Social Studies work...

2) I took a PSP away from my worst student and gave it to the principal. The student ended up crying when he found out that I gave it to the principal, but he was tough and pretended that he wasn't. I may have caught him stealing it, but I'm not sure.
3) An eigth grader was caught with a leatherman (which has a knife) and a b...

I got all my grading done. Well, ok, I rushed through the Social Studies junk, but I'm going back later this week and really looking at it all. Now, I need to get busy on writing the first part of my PACT paper thing. I haven't even looked at what I have to do. I'm sorta (totally) freaking out about it. It's due tomorrow and once I turn it in, I can't revise it because it goes to the state. It's a credentialing requirement, so my teachers can't tell me if I did it wrong. All they can s...

I'm not a linguist. Words are great, but when I try putting them together to form a joke or a funny story, I somehow always fail. I'm not a romantic in that regard either. I can't write beautiful poetry that would make men (or women) want me. In fact, poetry itself bores me. You know the book, "The Lord of the Rings"? It has these epic songs that tell stories about Middle Earth's past and whatnot. I skip them. My sister is a writer. The way that she uses words astounds me. It's like...

Usually I make it out of Faire unscathed, but not this weekend. Not only do I have bumps on my head from knocking my noggin against my favorite scotch bottle on Friday night multiple times after I discovered I had been dropped from all my classes, but my index finger on my left hand is all jammed up, and I appear to have bruises in multiple places on my arms and legs. I'm pretty sure that I didn't drink THAT much on Saturday night.... So, either I'm wrong on that count, or Stephen took to s...
