Kindergarten and BSG . . . not necessarily related hehe
It's probably about time I had a life update and not just a Battlestar Galactica post!
I'm student-teaching Kindergarten this year! In a near full time capacity. Four days at Kindergarten, one day at the university. School has me both excited and terrified. The next few months are going to be a blur of intense work, fun, stress, joy, panic, fulfillment . . . I'm going to be a mess.
I wish I were at Kindergarten five days a week so that my focus could remain on that, on planning, teaching, assessing, etc and not on also doing homework for the university class as well . . . that's the insanity of it. Teaching is in itself a job that goes beyond full time hours. I'm doing it for free and also going to university one day a week. Oh and did I mention that I have to start prepping my resume this semester as well? If anyone has any ideas on how to make the day longer I'd much appreciate it.
I'm sure I'll have many stories from the kindergarten room. I hope I find time to post some of them!!
And now, to BSG!
DID THEY SHOOT ROSLIN?!?!?
*coughs*
Okay, now that I let that out, moving on.
When it comes to Gaius Baltar I'm all over the place. Sometimes I find him intriguing, sometimes I feel sympathetic toward him, sometimes I hate him and think he deserves everything he gets. Watching him sign the order to execute suspected resistance individuals was brutal. He's made mistakes (gigantic ones), he's often thought too much for himself and not enough for others, but his pain in having to sign that order was clear. I never really know where his character is going next.
And then there's Kara . . . Jesus. Her place in life right now is so supremely fucked up. She's a hostage playing house with a cylon and now they have a daughter together?! I try to put myself in her shoes and try to think about what that kind of life must be like for her but it's just so fucked up, so fucking weird, I can't even really fathom it. Then, in the end, she grabs his hand as they watch over their daughter. . . holy crap. What's the syndrome you can get where you fall in love with your captor after a long stint in captivity? Oh Kara. Will she really go there? Will she really be with him?
