Well, I officially leave the state of wisconsin in 2 hours and the united states in 2 days. THANK GOD. Yesterday was my last day of teaching summer lessons and it couldn'tve gone fast enough. I sent out a proposal to shorten the summer from 8 weeks to 6 weeks. 8 weeks is just too much. I've had no time to really relax or do anything fun this ( Read more... )

Where do I even begin? I haven't posted since student teaching a year and a half ago. But somewhere I lost the drive to spill my guts. And connections. Living in the middle of nowhere has done not so good things for me. Sure it's quiet and I get plenty of rest, and my puppy-child loves it and can run anywhere (sans one hit-by-car incident), ( Read more... )

This is coming to you live from my new computer :) I caved and bought myself a late graduation gift. however, This computer is take two. The first one I brought home had malfunctioned speakers. oops. anyway bestbuy gave me a new computer with no fuss. Good for them. First relatively good experience i've had with them ( Read more... )

kindergarteners=guinea pigs. no seriously, have you ever lined kindergarteners up, told them a joke, and listened to the laughs? i kid you not. guinea pigs. I have been the sub for a particular kinderclass from hell three times. Each time I go home and crash. How do these teachers do it every day of their lives? And the sad thing is, these ( Read more... )

Had 2 interviews this week. Hopefully they'll actually call back even if I didn't get the job. Just common courtsey, west allis. Ever heard of it ( Read more... )

I had my interview today :) I was one of 5 candidates chosen from 48 applicants. (Crossing fingers that it wasn't a courtesey interview 'cause I knew the principal's daughter...) But it went well. Answered waaaaay too many questions, many of which went in circles...but it went well overall ( Read more... )

I know the principal through the oboeist in the UW-L orchestra. This may only be a courtesey interview, but hell, I'll take what I can get.

Thursday, May 1st, 12:45 pm. WISH ME LUCK!!

Best part of my day:

I subbed for Band today, and while on a beak in between lessons, one barisax player dared a clarinet player to play einekleinenachtmusik (as cheezy as mozart gets) with swung 8th notes.

yeah, i'm still laughing about it.

So we have a storage facility. Which means lots of packing and hauling. But I get to drive the trailer :) I have this weird guy-thing where I love driving different vehicles. I love it when dad gets a new rental car because i get to try it out. My favorite: dodge avenger ( Read more... )

My LJ AWOL-ness aside, it's time for a lovely vent. I am currently listening to the sounds of massive amounts of water being pumped from my basement. Mom and dad are both out of town so I get to deal with two rather flirty flood service workers. Not that they're not nice and working hard, but I'm really having a hard time dealing with this.
