So things are going pretty well. I'm teaching six classes this semester over three campuses. So I spend most of my week just driving around, which is exhausting. I have never understood why driving makes you so tired. But I am really lucky this semester because I only have one big class out of the six; the rest of them have fewer than 15 people.

this made me sad. I have always loved the DMB. Their music played such a huge part in my teenage years/young adulthood. Sadness ( Read more... )

So I have my Fall schedule straight! The last week has been crazy with them pulling me out of classes and putting me in others, etc. I mean I know that they need other adjuncts for English, but people I am only ONE person. But, it is my fault also because I refuse to say "no I can't teach that class" because I'm a pleaser, I really need a good ( Read more... )

So things are going about like usual here, which is good. No drama is always good for me. I am only teaching two classes this summer, so I have been a bit of a lazy whore the rest of the time. But, hey I taught 6 classes last semester and will teach 6 in the Fall, so I think I deserve a little laziness ( Read more... )

ok so for the past year I have been considering taking a few Graduate English classes at Converse so that (1) I will get paid more and (2) I will be able to teach the higher level English classes that my brain really really needs.I need 18 hours in English to do this, and I only have 9 at the moment. But, the problem is that they NEVER seem to ( Read more... )

Yes. I Know. I have been MIA as of late. But now, I am free! Free as a bird until next week when it starts up again. So yeah, the semester concluded swimingly. Most of my students passed, I had a couple in each class to fail, but mostly because they refused to turn in their work, so I feel no guilt on that one. Graduation was interesting. We had ( Read more... )

So I got a new car on Saturday. It made me happy. I still haven't gotten my money from the Bastard insurance company, but it was cheaper for me to take my all my savings (tear) and put a down payment on another car than to continue paying for a rental car. It is a 2008 Chevy Aveo. I had not planned to get a 2008, but it was only slightly more ( Read more... )
