This week I’ve done my utmost to actually keep up with the work of managing 88 students.
I’ve had every hand-out readily available, I’ve taught my first real lesson and held my first student-led discussion. I’ve kept my online papers sorted, updated the online calendar, and given clear directions with clear due-dates as to what’s expected [...]

It’s a Tuesday, and I’ve survived my first round of classes.
I talked at them, made jokes at which they sometimes laughed, assigned them their first tasks of the semester.

That’s right, bitches. It’s my little ole’ flag flying proud at the top of Getting Shit Done mountain today.

Currently I am watching “Toddlers and Tiaras” on TLC. And I know I’ve been desensitized to the toddler-whore set up of all these pageants when I’m exclaiming that there’s no way in HELL Elexia should have won talent with her warbling, not when the Bronx girl was the WIND for her talent. For god’s sakes, [...]

It’s Tuesday.
Tomorrow I go into campus for the first time since last semester, to do assessment and hopefully get some money in the bank. Woot to that.
I also have to file to be considered a special student (dude how have I fallen behind on that? I totally decided to do it like in JUNE), pick [...]

I’ve realized today that I have sucked seriously at keeping this site updated. I apologize. I will try harder in the future.
Here’s what’s new with me. Or what’s not new, what’s very old hat and I’m sick of it:
*We’re still seriously broke. I need to figure out how to pay rent TODAY and make it [...]
so you've said.
