It's certainly been a while since I updated here, hasn't it ( Read more... )

Dear GOD did I have something beautiful happen ( Read more... )

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... )

Let the record show that when it comes to my work, I am indeed committed to sparkle motion ( Read more... )

One of the girls asked if she could keep a copy of [i carry your heart with me(i carry it in] , and I think I nearly died from joy. She was attracted to the absolute nature of the poem, how entire the notion of carrying someone's heart is. For ( Read more... )

1) Dammit. Back for the ineedmyfics exchange, I received a lovely piece from proudofthefish. An Avengers one, specifically, in which it was intimated that Coulson's background isn't exactly clean. I've been wondering about that ever since. Does he have a military background? Criminal? Violent tendencies he's mastered? Has he done jail time like I theorize every SHIELD ( Read more... )

I know, another entry title in French, specifically from Romeo et Juliette again. Je ne regrette rien, etc.

Guess what. It's the weekend. I have some work-related things to take care of (our annual plans need to be written up and whatnot), but I feel the need

(I'm working on a Clint/Natasha piece. Not thrilled with how the ending turned out. I have ( Read more... )
