We have finally finished our interviews for our resident advisor openings. Attached you will find a formal invitation to work as a resident advisor with the Governor's School program this summer. If you have any problem with the attachment let me know and I'll send a copy instead through the mail. There is a section on funding, but I have no ( Read more... )

I don't have much time, so this will be brief, but I'm really excited, so I wanted to share it.

So, for anyone who doesn't remember, I'm currently in an English class called Invented Worlds. It has some pretty non-traditional assignments. I have to start up a character on Second Life, and I have to make a wiki page on any aspect of invented worlds ( Read more... )

So yesterday I got an e-mail from the Governor's School people saying that they were still narrowing down candidates and interviewing, but in the meantime, I should talk to their head resident to see if the program would be a good fit for me ( Read more... )

I went in to the Writing Center to talk to Professor Essid yesterday, and I had to sit outside for a minute or two. I don't remember how it happened, exactly, but the administrative assistant asked if I was a new tutor. She was new last semester, so of course since I didn't exist back then, she didn't know me. I told her no, I had just taken ( Read more... )

Mm. I have now eaten half of the cornbread that my mother made last night all by myself. I don't eat cornbread very often. I forget how much I enjoy it. I'm not even sure why, exactly - usually I don't like things that dry. But there's something about cornbread. Mm ( Read more... )

So yesterday I went to contact for the first time in probably months, and then I went to trials for my orange belt. I am very sore. But it was great to go to contact. I had been excited for the past two days about the fact that I was finally going. I hadn't realized how much I'd missed it. I'd just been either buried in work, or too exhausted ( Read more... )

I love my students. And apparently they love me. Which is kind of surprising, in a way. Don’t get me wrong - I’m sure I’m very lovable - but this was one of the classes that I didn’t spend as much time with, one of the IB classes. Actually, maybe that’s why they still love me. *grin. They spent just enough time with me to get attached to me, ( Read more... )

I want this for Christmas.  Please??

Edit:
Also, Carl Sandburg is of the amazing.  You should all read his poetry.  Now.

Come to that, I haven't done a poetry post in a while...  But no.  I could not do Carl Sandburg justice in one post.  Sadly.

Blargh. Stupid biological clock. It's not even set for the bloody right time during the week; there is no call to be waking me up at 5:30 a.m. on the weekend. I probably got about five, maybe six, hours of sleep. I'm just going to be exhausted again later today, yet I still can't fall back asleep. *grumbles ( Read more... )

The past two days of school have been quite good. Hopefully tomorrow will be too. There may be more on these things later. Right now, though, I am very tired and think I should be going to bed. Good night, all!
