It's been an odd week.

Long, and awkward, really -- it's the start of a new term, and of course classes haven't been solidified, nor have have class lists. This makes for interesting day plans, seeing as things shift every single day and you have no idea if your attendance records are accurate at all. You do your best though, and you try and teach.

GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT.

School was called off again thanks to ice on the roads. Unfortunately, no-one called me or the co-worker who gave me a ride. We made the discovery based on the empty parking lot at the school. Joy of joys. We called the VP, who apologized profusely for our being overlooked (apparently the phone tree is indeed ( Read more... )

Ganked from luciademedici , because it feels appropriate to be thoughtful and reflective right about now. No other reason, really.

I scribbled four, five pages worth of bitchfest in my paper journal yesterday morning in a fit of pique. I whined about work, paranoia about what people at my jobs think of me, money, my health (which hasn't been great lately), and demanded to know why the universe decided to dump on me over the past couple weeks.

Been thinking lately about my bucket list lately. Or at least, what I think qualifies as a bucket list.

PERCY O'LEARY BEd,  BITCHES.

WITH MUTHA-EFFIN' DISTINCTION.

Yes, another pretentious, rambling essay. You can blame this one entirely on having watched "Dogma" (frick, I love that movie) last night after some hardcore discussion at school.

Today is 'scare the noobs' day for the Education program on campus.

Okay, okay. Technically, it's a pre-orientation. Their honest-to-goodness orientation comes in August. What happens today is that our current class, who has all but finished save for some paperwork, and next year's class all get together and talk shop for a couple hours. The current ( Read more... )

Yesterday on campus had me freaking out more than a little bit. Six hours of sitting in the 'dungeon' --
(Not even kidding you. That's what we've nicknamed it. The room may be decorated like an elementary classroom seeing as it's the elementary student teachers' home base, but there are no windows and only two doors that lead out into the same dead- ( Read more... )
