So, I guess when I said you all didn't have to read about work stuff anymore, what I really meant was that I will be neglecting my LJ because I have nothing to talk about that isn't work-related. Be that as it may, I don't want to talk to, look at, or even think about anyone under the age of 18 for the rest of the day the rest of the week. ( Read more... )

I decided to start a new blog that will be where I talk about my experiences teaching. Since I began teaching, I've toyed with the idea of writing and publishing a collection of short stories about the amazing students and coworkers I've been lucky enough to encounter.

The woman on the phone said I'd probably be teaching reading to a class of about 10-12 4th-5th graders (NOT special ed) for about 4-5 hours a day. And while that sounds pretty cool and like something I'd like to do, I got a ( Read more... )

I have an apartment!! It's a 2-bedroom which I will be sharing with a girl who I met on craigslist, Melissa, who just graduated from Cornell and seems nice and very normal. The bedrooms are small, but the living area is really nice and big--really 2 separate, large rooms. It's in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, which is near Borough Hall, Fulton Mall, and ( Read more... )
