After a few days of giving it some real attention, I have to say... Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii is incredible!
FF XII... not so much.

How long has it been since I updated? Too long I suppose. I suppose no news is good news. Life is good. I love my job, I love my wife, I love my cat... I HATE my house right now, since it sprung ANOTHER leak. I also hit my head on the TV in my classroom today and it bled a bit. Great way to start the day.
On the bright side, I got to teach students the difference between A.D. and B.C.E. today... seniors, mind you. I think they might have missed something somewhere along the way. I'm way addicted to FFXII right now, though there are some things about it that leave me feeling a little... meh.
I feel the need to say something profound or delightfully interesting or... I don't know. Something to prove I still have my edge? Can teachers have an edge? I guess this will have to do: "Fuck you repubs... interception, our team's got the ball. Sorry!"
Nah, that was pathetic. I find I can't write anything that I wouldn't be okay with my boss (principal) reading. It's an odd, kinda icky feeling... I might have moved away from big business, but my job seems to still own my soul.

One more set of papers and I'm done grading till I'm unwise enough to assign a paper in September!
Fuck school. Fuck being a new teacher. Fuck getting the shaft for not having X years under your belt.
I start 2 new classes tomorrow. Myth and Classical Lit and Multi Cultural Lit. I spent the weekend grading. Hell, my fiance spent the weekend helping me grade. They SO don't tell you what you're in for when you sign on to be a teacher. And I still love it.
It was a very Vonnegut Xmess! I got a movie and a t-shirt, and a book! Read the book already.
I'm making a tie between Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Slaughterhouse 5. I love being a teacher. I get to show Star Trek, and it really works!
And I got my Magister Leggings! In World of Warcraft, that is...

Holy crap, I think it's over. End of the marking period, and grades were due today. For some reason that will forever be unknown to me, I had 100 papers and 80 tests come in on Friday, and I graded them ALL over the weekend. I literally spent 12 hours a day grading, if not more. Total in the last week: about 135 papers and 90 tests.
I'll never do that to myself again.
