Ha..hahaha….HAHAHAHA. Ha. heh. Oh, sorry. That was obnoxious. That was just me laughing at the mild ridiculousness of this question, the latest prompt form Gwen Bell’s Best of ’09 Challenge. My biggest challenge? I’m living it this instant, surrouned by papers I should’ve graded weeks ago, a week from a huge school-wide exhibition my students [...]

Everyone says being an adult kind of sucks. I accept that. I know paying bills, and dealing with insurance companies, and getting your car checked, and living on a budget aren’t fun but are neccessary parts of being an adult. I never expect my life to be all happy rainbows and freakishly adorable puppies. I [...]

I’m tired of hearing my named called impatiently from across the room. I’m tired of making copies. I’m tired of grading papers I know could be better. I’m tired of repeating myself over, and over, and over again. I’m tired of saying things like “I’ll wait until you’re quiet,” and “I’m not saying any of [...]

This weekend, I somehow didn’t have that much work to do once I sat down to do it. I’m not sure how I this happened, if it is a sign of to things to come or just a happy coincidence, but because of it, this weekend, I actually had time to go to a party, [...]

I want to blog. I really do. It’s just the last thing i think about every day. It’s at the end of my never-ending to-do list, and thus, I never get to it. I want to. I really do. I just want to sleep too. I want to be able to teach my kids a [...]

Rather than go on some paragraphs long rant about how much I disklike this day, about how I’ve only ever had one decent Valentine’s day, about how my big plans for the night include making PW’s French Onion Soup for my parents and watching the Jo Bros take on SNL, and about how what I [...]

Monday, the honeymoon period with this time of unemployment officially ended. I’ve started feeling useless, bored, and unmotivated. I’m not quite sure what brought it on. I’m thinking it’s a mixture of realizing I no longer have enough time before moving to LA June to get a part-time job without feeling guilty when I leave [...]

So it seems to have become midly popular to post some mix tapes around the internet for everyone to benefit from others good music tastes. I, sadly, cannot do this, as I have to admit, my music taste resembles that of a 14-year-old girl…wait no, 14 year olds know what’s cool. Maybe I’m more like [...]

I know. I kind of technically failed to post today, but you know what? I posted twice yesterday, once at almost midnight, and I fully plan to post again tomorrow, so this totally counts as my post for today, Tuesday the 11th. It’s only 11 past midnight for pete’s sake. Plus, if I haven’t gone [...]

So I can keep making excuses for not blogging, and I certainly have them. My mom visiting, too much work of all kinds, my personal slash social life slowly falling apart (through my own doing), constant nausea due to all of this (well, not my mom visiting…that was a good time.) I just can’t seem to deal [...]
