Say what you want about my capabilities as a Teacher's Aide, but I don't think anything could have served as efficient preparation for discovering that a student had doodled some very graphic depicitions of Totoros happily terrorising a scribbly little village Viking-style on the side of their essay. The irony of the situation? The paper was on the ( Read more... )

So, it's Mother's Day. Hope you all have fun with that ( Read more... )

No, I'm not dead - last week, my time on the internet came and went rather sporadically between working and unpacking the last of my crap, and it didn't last long enough for me to do much besides check my email. Yes, I know my time management skills suck, leave me alone. If it helps, I was half-tempted to post something just so that anyone holding ( Read more... )

... In case anybody is wondering why they've been seeing me around the school, it'd seem that I've apparently been chosen for the wonderful position as a teacher's aide for one of my old professors, a decision that I'm told was approved by my father. ... Pre-approved, even, meaning that this was decided on BEFORE they called me Monday morning and ( Read more... )

Moving's been a fucking bitch. Not only did I manage to make a box land on my head, but no one will leave me alone for five minutes so that I can get my shit together and LEAVE this hellhole already. I know as well as anyone that all of the dipshits here on this estate are in one big fuckin' hurry to get me out of here, so why they keep coming in ( Read more... )

The earthquake could've been worse, but nevertheless, it's too bad about the number of injuries and the person who died in the wreckage. Best wishes to their family - loss is never a pleasant thing to deal with ( Read more... )

So my weekend was busy - I spent the majority of it moving my things out of the dorms and back home, all the while wondering why I brought so much crap with me when I knew I wasn't going to be staying for a horribly long while. I'm sure it made sense to me at the time ... bah, anyway. I am now officially a graduate! All of my pain and suffering is ( Read more... )

... I almost forgot what today was, since I nearly caused my brain to dissolve from working non-stop today because my laptop decided it was a comedian and proceeded to eat an exam paper that's due tomorrow morning. Suffice to say it, I had better get a decent score on that damned thing because I NEVER want to rewrite an essay on the history of the ( Read more... )

Well, I welcomed finals this week as I usually do : without much enthusiasm. Whoever it was that tried to reassure me that my fourth year of university would be easier was obviously on something ( Read more... )

Despite the odd feeling that my workload has for whatever reason been intensified ... today was okay. This is huge, considering that I can only count on one hand the number of times I've said that about school. Knowing my luck, though, it's likely that tragedy is going to follow suit based simply on the fact that I'm in a semi-decent mood right now ( Read more... )
