GED
one more dawn…one more day…
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008ONE!! DAY!! MOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!! Sorry. That was just a little Les Miserables reference for all you musical geeks out there. Oh, and it’s Bethday tomorrow. Hug me.
I keep wanting to post some insightful, poignant musing about growing older and everything I’ve learned over the past year, but nothing’s coming out. Maybe tomorrow. For now, let’s just […]
WHEW!
Thursday, December 13th, 2007Y’all. This has seriously been the longest semester of my life. BUT IT’S OVER NOW!!!! Well, almost. I have to go into the office tomorrow for roughly one hour to finish up some paperwork, but after that, IT’LL BE OVER!!!! And then I’ll be unemployed for about three weeks. Sigh. Three whole weeks of sweet, […]
keeping the dream alive sans dairy
Friday, November 30th, 2007Oh friends, last night I dreamed that I had detention. Now, detention was held in what seemed to be a summer camp arts-and-crafts cabin, and there was no real reason for me to go, but I kept going anyway because Matt Hagaman also had detention. And now that I think about it, we are the […]
for Whitney
Thursday, November 15th, 2007I was telling Whitney this story earlier, and she requested that I post it for you all. So here it is in Reader’s Digest Condensed version.
When I told one of my students yesterday that the class had been canceled, she was very upset with me. Yes, me personally. She said (and this is a direct […]
Don’t come a-knockin’ if the minivan’s a-rockin’.
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007As I was on my way to class this evening, I got behind a minivan with some pretty amazing hydraulic action going on. It was quite amusing. I mean, this just doesn’t seem to fit, does it? A bumpin’ minivan? Seriously? It’s just not the kind of ride that one would normally think to pimp […]
craptacular
Thursday, November 1st, 2007Well, this has pretty much been the worst week ever. I can’t go into too many details because they aren’t mine to share, but work has just been insane, and much to my relief, we’ve decided to close my GED classes early. They were supposed to go through December 12, but we’re going to shut […]
body bits
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007The building where I have my afternoon classes is also the building where they teach the nursing assistant classes, so a couple of the classrooms on my hall are equipped with hospital beds and such for the students to practice helping each other get up and down, use bedpans, sit up, eat, roll over, etc. […]
new soulmate
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007I’m not sure how many soulmates one person is allowed to have, but I have many. And I know most people think of a soulmate in a romantical sense, but mine are all platonic friend-types. I’ve got cross-generational ones, man ones, woman ones, probably even a few animal ones. I think the connection I feel […]
my people
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007I was illustrating a certain punctuation rule for my GED students this afternoon, and the sentence I used to do so included my feelings about both fried chicken and John Mayer. For those of you who aren’t aware, I love the former and loathe the latter. Well none of my students even knew who John […]
