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.
I haven’t made a plan for tomorrow, I’m still drained from yesterday.
Overall it was a success. Now to just keep that going.
And at the same time I [...]

I spent my day listening to interesting ruminations and exclamations on the direction of our department.
It was a very exciting experience… for those valid members of our department who are full time and who are actually considered as mandatory to our growth and development in the many directions our Director would like to go.
Adjuncts, however, [...]

The first reply to my eloquently worded, professional yet friendly request for writing jobs was this:

This grading job has cut my hours this week by two days and next week by… well, the entire fucking week.
Hello poverty, meet me. We’ve been flirting across the room all summer now, but it’s just about time we’re properly introduced.
Now I am trying to think of a way, any way really, that I could [...]

The world is against me today…
It cheered me up with the news of 2 more lbs lost, meaning I’m under a benchmark weight that I haven’t been in over a year…
But we aren’t going to make rent this month without begging more money from parents, and Firefox decided to eat all my bookmarks and force [...]

Hey! It’s Friday, and I’m not working. So what can I do with myself, you ask?
Well, I thought I’d swim. Then I thought I’d work a bit on setting myself up with the courses I need to take this semester as I teach.
Cool idea, you say? Why, I thought so as well!
I sat down to [...]

Didn’t get the middle school position, found out in a letter that came to our house yesterday and that James read to me over the phone.
That’s a real downer, I’ve got to tell you.
I shouldn’t take it as hard as I am… *sigh*

Not in the mood to update anything, my life feels so stagnant. Bullet points it is.
Not a single word on the middle school position. I did everything I needed to for them, updated all my information online… now we play the waiting game. I even sent them a hand-written thank you card today as a [...]

Interview is over.
Went well, I think? Not sure. It felt like yet another basic step interview like I had already done at each of the Teacher Fairs I have attended. They didn’t have any info from the online application process so they basically had no clue who I was or what I would be saying… [...]
so you've said.
