... yours truly has landed a job. Bet of all, it's not three hours away in the middle of flippin' nowhere. I signed the acceptance agreement yesterday to be the new Language Arts teacher at Butler High School. You can take a look at the school by going here: http://www.richmond.k12.ga.us/butler/

I have SO much stuff I need to finish before the end ( Read more... )

I have driven approximately 8 million miles this week trying to find a job. If I never drive again it will be too soon. Wait. I have another job interview Monday morning in south Georgia... oh holy freakin' crap...

Long time no post! I gotta get better about this...

Anyhoo, yours truly survived the marathon that is Student Teaching; now I must find a job. Interestingly enough, I have an interveiw this week on the other side of the state.  Guess it's time to beg for gas money...

Somebody please tell me this will all be worth it when it is over... this apprenticeship is about to kill me. Right now I am so tired I can't see straight. And I still have about six billion things I need to do.

Maybe I'll be able to sleep when I finally get a real job. Until then, it's more resumes than I care to count. Seriously, if I wanted to ( Read more... )

Man, it's been WAY too long since I had a chance to post! I've been working my not so little bum off (for free) as an apprentice teacher at one of the high schools here in the area, and let me tell ya, it ain't easy! But I love all my kids and I have the best time with them (except when they cause disruptions or are disrespectful to each other). I ( Read more... )

...except that I am waiting for grades to be posted. Not that I'm anxious or anything...

I have a new tutoree starting today-- this will put me up to eight sessions a week.

So, anyhoo, I still have to figure out what to get Dad for Christmas. He is quite possibly the most impossible person to shop for. On the plus side, I have everybody else's ( Read more... )

The semester is almost over! I am SO excited! I can't wait! I want some time to read and relax and not have to worry about writing papers or anything like that... wait. I can't relax-- I have to buy Christmas presents. Goats and monkeys!

I am going to go eat dinner now, because I am hungry and then I am going downstairs to watch television simply ( Read more... )

Mom sent this to me and I kind of needed it this morning. Maybe you do, too.

Charles Schultz Philosophy

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read straight through, and you'll get the point.

I have to write a critical essay on Faulkner's short story "A Rose for Emily" and trying to find articles on this that I have easy access to without forking out obscene amounts of money for copies is impossible. And I need to go to the school tomorrow so I can log more hours for lab assignments. And I need to work on my linguistics paper. And write ( Read more... )

Guess who earned 78-1/2 points out of a possible 80 points on her "History and Structure of the English Language" midterm? Why, that would be me, silly rabbit! I can't believe it myself, but I have it in writing. AND I didn't screw up the Grimm's Law chart so apparently I know it better than I thought. I guess miracles happen after all ( Read more... )
