Oh shit, oh damn, oh fuck, oh crap,
Depression is attacking back

I've been wandering around asking teachers "Can you teach me how to teach?" Which didn't start as a survey, but it ended up as one. Every single person had a different answer, and I am delighted by their subtleties.

A misorganized series of notations follows

--Knowledge of your subject is necessary but not sufficient

I have recently discovered that if my headache is tensions and/or sinus taking a pleasantly hot shower is a good way to knock it down to manageable size. This is not so for migraines. However, it's not impossible for me to have both types at once (because I've got skillz), and the shower usually does for the extra pain sources, leaving me with a ( Read more... )

I didn't appreciate my house-sitting job because trying to house-sit there and tend the critters over here is a distressing crunch on the morning and evening.

It's the migraine's that really set me off -- they're new in the past ( Read more... )

I spent time dinking around the evergreen course catalog and have re-concluded that I hate school. I have also registered for class(es) in the vague hope that graduating would be worth the effort despite all evidence to the contrary. I feel like shit about everything that comes to mind currently (and it's been getting that way for about a week), ( Read more... )

My bunny has a hutch. She gets to hop around. This is very good. She thinks it's pretty fascinating. I am satisfied with my efforts, but I'm not yet done because there are lots of pokey bits on account of it's mostly enclosed with hardware cloth and that shit is stabby-ow if you don't pay really close attention. I figure I'll probably be done with ( Read more... )
