I need to unwind this weekend. Boy, it's been a rough two weeks.

Just an example: Came downstairs Tues morning, and found water coming through my dining room ceiling, down the wall, through the floor, and through the ceiling of the basement. Turns out, the PVC pipes should have been factory recalled years ago... now we're looking at $3200 to replace and repair.

I don't know what the problem is. I haven't had any trouble. Are you able to connect to Rhapsody, just not the radio part? confused
hrlyquinn:
You had to do a writing test to get into Widener, right? What was that like?

The stack of papers I have to go through and grade is nearly as tall as my cat... when he's on all fours, anyway.

But I'm having a party tonight!
stryka:
ewww, that would be the one downfall of being a teacher in my book.

You have homework again.

Have fun w/ the party.
hrlyquinn:
Sorry I didn't make it. I just wasn't up for a big party scene that night. Since I'm unemployed now, anytime you want to hang out is good for me. Let me know. smile

X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocolypse rocks my rowhouse! Man is it cool! Lots of new characters, and they have Age of Apocolypse outfits! Why is it then that I still just want to use Jean Grey all the time? Perhaps because she still kicks mad ass.

For the first time in months, I got drunk tonight. Had a blast.

I had my seniors write up a resume and a cover letter in anticipation of their entrance into the 'world.' I told them, just for kicks, that they could write their cover letter as if they were applying for any job they wished, just write it well.
I got one addressed to Mace Windu, requesting entrance to the Jedi Academy. I also received one petition...

I seem to have a story every day when I come home from school...

Today, a student duct taped another students arms to her sides. When I removed the tape, I took some of her hair with it. It was all in good fun though.

Oh, and I said the word clitoris in class.
stryka:
That's hilarious.

Well, he hasn't become any less disgusting. I spent most of the trial staring at him trying to remember how I could've ever been so f*ed up in the head....

But I wouldn't change Gabriel being in my life for the world. He is my little angel and savior.

First day today. 190 kids came through my classroom today, as they will every day. Students of every variety. I had so much fun, but man, it was exhausting. I have fourty two kids in my film as lit class, and they all want to stay. The administration is talking about giving me a bigger room, just for that class. Let's hope I can handle...
