Moving on and settling down…all at once
let it…do absolutely nothingPosted by beth on January 19, 2008
There was all manner of hype on the news yesterday about how we could see an accumulation of 2-3 (I even heard up to 5) inches of snow today. The plan was that it was going to rain for about an hour, and then the temperature would drop, and we’d start seeing the snow fall. [...]
the new farewellPosted by beth on January 18, 2008
Dan was telling us this story at break today, and we were cracking up. I wanted you all to get in on it too. A student showed up in my class the other day, who I recognized from my old site, where she used to be a student. She knew me as well, and so [...]
in the name of all that is holyPosted by beth on January 16, 2008
OH NO. No. No no no no no no. I… I just don’t know what to say about this. It is quite possibly the worst thing I have ever heard. Ever. It’s like a 30-some-odd-year-old man deciding to wear a fish shirt out in public, only instead of ruining one girl’s (and all her blog [...]
today’s mysteriesPosted by beth on
I received SELF magazine yesterday. It was addressed to me and everything. I don’t know how or why I am receiving SELF magazine. If anyone has any insight into this, please share. I have nothing against this publication, but it’s not something I would ever buy off the rack. Mostly I’m just baffled by the [...]
for my publicPosted by beth on January 15, 2008
HI! HI!! HOW ARE YOU GUYS?? OH how I have missed you! Have you missed me? Did you cry every day that I didn’t update you on every juicy detail of my fairly mundane life? Awww…sorries! Here’s what’s been going on: My precious friend Emily got married this weekend, which is VERY strange and somewhat [...]
The Butter Knife BanditPosted by beth on January 10, 2008
I should totally be lesson planning and/or packing for WILKESBORO!!!!! right now, but instead I am come to tell you about how I got mugged in the middle of class today with a butter knife, and how my students did nothing about it. It was all an elaborate set-up of course. I had Dan come [...]
what was I going to say?Posted by beth on January 9, 2008
Remember when I said there was so much to tell you that it would require daily double postings to get it all out there? Yeah, I don’t remember what all I was going to say. It’s gone now. Lost forever. Sigh. Must not have been that important. I’ve been “lesson planning” for like a week [...]
space cadetPosted by beth on January 8, 2008
I feel so out of it. This waking up to go to work thing is rough! I’ll get there, though. It’ll be normal in a few weeks. But right now, I just feel so spacey. I think I need a burrito and some chocolate. Ok funny story, though. I tell you what, that speaking test [...]
Apparently I should vote Democrat.Posted by beth on January 7, 2008
I just took this quiz to find out which of the many presidential hopefuls agree most with me. Dennis Kucinich came in first with Chris Dodd and Hillary Clinton tying for a close second and John Edwards coming in third. I’m not 100% sold on any of this, but I guess it’s time to be a [...]
The Lone Flight AttendantPosted by beth on
I don’t know if I can describe this with any sort of accuracy, or if it will be funny at all without a physical reenactment, but I’ll try. When I went to New York, I was on one of those tiny little puddle jumper planes that they use for commuter flights and such, and we [...]
