Well, I have finally finished my teaching. Despite teaching being the more enjoyable part of my project I am enormously glad to have it over. I can now focus on the less fun part of academics and do the writing portion without anything else to worry about. That is a good darn good feeling to have it all done, and to have gotten the exact results ( Read more... )

Division IIIWell, I'm through two of the three weeks of my teaching. Even better is I am getting the results I expected and wanted, but I'm also getting a whole lot more. My field notes for two weeks of teaching hit 80 pages on Friday, and will easily break 100 this week. Too much bloody writing, considering none of it gets 'counted' in my ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning, having slept very nicely the night before. The first thing I thought was "Man, I really want to fix a Wikipedia article." So I did. So for the last two hours, I researched, edited, and added to the article about Malcolm X's time in Boston and in prison. I find writing for Wikipedia really enjoyable and very relaxing. In ( Read more... )

I am burned. Somehow this week managed to turn itrself into the most stressful week of my Division III so far. This week my Division III finally got to the point where I was working instead of taking care of myself. I've missed three meals so far this week. I have to chuckle a bit, since Kelsey being in Boston has the unintended (and unexpected ( Read more... )

My Division III officially has a title!

I spent more of the day than I would have liked trying to get in contact with the people at Holyoke Community Charter School, to no avail. I really just want to tell Natalie to very politely tell her to 'shove it' on the whole recording thing. Its more work/stress than its worth. Although, recording audio of my classes is tempting but if it ( Read more... )

Well, Natalie didn't skip her meeting with me today. She was blown away by the amount of work I had done, and made me feel accomplished by telling me I was ahead of the game particularly because I have written half of my paper ( Read more... )

My committee chair stood me up this morning, an occurrence that I am becoming more used to then I care to admit. I woke up early, despite missing my alarm and rushed to get ready. I sat outside of her office for 45 minutes, but she never showed so I walked back feeling pretty frustrated and dejected about the whole of my Division III. She ( Read more... )

I thought I'd give an update into my life. Horray.

My doctor told me my leg is healing up great, but I should still only be putting partial weight on my leg, something my body seems to think better of since I feel fine walking. The only discomfort I feel is after awhile my hamstring begins to feel strained, which is to be expected after it was ( Read more... )

In the nearly thirteen years I've been on the world wide web, I've gotten excited about websites, even really excited. But never love, I have never loved a website. But as of today, I can safely say, I have finally fallen in love with a website: EasyBib.comI long to caress its whispy electronic binary tendrils. EasyBib.com you are a GODDESS! Err ( Read more... )
