Well, the first two days were cool. I was absolutely exhausted. Nothing can prepare you for 4.5 hours of standing in front of a bunch of Fresh-Outta-Summer teenagers. But, it looks like I have a decent group of kids. I can already see a few that are destined to retake my class, but I’ll do […]

We start back today. It’s 6:20 am. I’ll be at the school in a little under an hour. And the madness will begin. I had dreams about it last night. It didn’t go that well. Hopefully I fare better today than I did in my dreams. I also have a whopping headache. I think it’s […]

I start classes today at WSSU. Good times. I take modern algebra and methods of teaching math and I AM DONE. I will be an official, real, live, CERTIFIED teacher. In December. In other news, we have an open house today. Lots to do, lots to do. Here we go…

I just sent THE email. The one with the link to the bibliography I did for my one credit independent study. The one that signals the start of “my summer”. No one will own this part. No classes. No moves. No camps. No NY trips. Just me, the house, the dog and the sun. Oh, […]

Nothing else to say.

Note to any potential townhome purchasers: Our townhome officially went on the market today. We need to sell it soon. Tell your friends.

…. my summer is gone. I got approval for the one credit independent study yesterday. It is due on August 12th. That’s two weeks from today. So, if you figure it is about 40 or 50 hours of intense labor, that’s the equivalent of a part time job. So, I’ll be working away, for the […]
