I had one of the "aha!" moments last night where something I couldn't understand became almost painfully clear. Interesting, nonetheless. If you've never had one, I suggest you experience it even once. It left my mind reeling all night ( Read more... )

There are so many things that have happened to me as a first year teacher, that this year should be incredibly memorable. It started with the Great B-Wing Flood! I had everything set up in my classroom, only, alas, to be monsooned on. So then, on the day before school I had to set up in a different room. Then, of course, we cannot forget the ( Read more... )

Does anyone else seem to think that being a stabbed Tinkerbell for Halloween is a demented idea? My roomate Joanne had a hard time adjusting to the idea, seeing as she is going to be Peter Pan, my alleged murderer. But I am pumped! Finally I have a costume before Halloween.

I have decided to start writing in here again. It has been a long time since I have, and I miss it! I mostly miss it because I read back at a lot of my old entries and they are pretty funny. REALLY funny. I was absurd in college. Oh how I miss it. But anyway, now this lj will be taken to a new level. Professional Stephanie. Haha. Ok, semi- ( Read more... )

The first five people to respond to this post, will get some form of art, by me, about them. I make no guarantees about quality or type. Nor will I assure that I will give it good effort, but the art will be individual to you.

Tonight I had a battle with a chicken, and the chicken won. I decided to bake a chicken breast. I was, however, too lazy to defrost it, and just thought that baking it for longer would work. So after 40 min at 350 degrees in tin foil, I checked it and it was mostly still frozen. WTF! I decided to defrost it at this point and then keep baking it ( Read more... )

Heh! It's true. Valentine's Day, as sappy and corny and commercial as it is, is like a big knife right to where it hurts on a single person. Blahhhh. However I am getting in the spirit of it all. I handmade 50 Valentine's for my sweet little 6th graders with suckers, and I am going to get ice cream after school with my friend Joanne to bitch ( Read more... )

Ok. Had a Radio X meeting tonight, went far too long. Drinking a coke! Hurrah, which I thought I would not be able to drink because it did not come out of the machine, but my custodian friend came along and got it for me. Woot. Custodians rock! AND he got me a glass with ice, now how cool is that? Other than that little drama, the day was ( Read more... )

I am guilty of contradicting myself constantly. Even now, I wish for the weeks to go by faster and the weekends to come quicker. And yet, I wonder where the time has gone and wish life would slow down. Why do I do that? Today, I just wished that I could go back to certain times in my life. The carefree days of childhood, the rollerhockey frenzy ( Read more... )
