It’s a bad sign when you’re already really wanting to slack off and avoid your work. In the second week of it all starting. I love what I do, I love teaching, but somewhere in the back of my head I keep questioning myself. Am I really teaching them anything? Are they going to progress [...]

Today is my at-home work day.
Tomorrow is my “print all your shit out and set up all your other shit” day.
Monday is the first day of classes. Why am I such a procrastinator?
Wish me luck.

Okay, so here’s what I did for 12 hours today:
Pick up a test booklet. Pray that it doesn’t smell like foreign lands.
Plop it down, check a number on the front, check a number on the inside cover.
Flip through each page and scrutinize the numbers left in red ink by each individual grader for accuracy in [...]

Sitting in the cubicle today, sans puppy, with roughly 26 more final drafts to complete before I can consider myself “done” for a bit.
Have yet to catch up on blogs, my god.
Turning in a “Requested Fall Schedule” even though I have no intention of being here next semester if it can be at all helped. [...]

I’m such the SUCK teacher this week.
I mean, sure, I had some kick ass lesson plans Monday.
And Wednesday we talked the entire class period (plus some) about the articles we read… or they didn’t read, however you want to look at it.
Today, however, I had them to an in-class writing because I was at a [...]

So, no one else is really going to be excited for my domestic ass-kicking…. I figure I can talk about it here.
Though I’ve neglected to put a game plan together for my class tomorrow, nor have I laid a finger on the papers I need to grade… I have at least settled my house and [...]

So, I took a day to rest. Sort all my shit out. Talk with the people with whom I needed to speak. Press the imaginary button the size of a pinhead on my brain that Resets it to default, and I’m feeling much much better.
I haven’t done shit lately, and that needs to change.
I need [...]

Every paper is like blunt force trauma to the forehead, I want to just pass out and be done with it.

This weekend has involved a lot of useless activities and not many useful ones.
Have I finished changing over my syllabus or prepping for classes? Nope.
But I have sold a bed and a mini-fridge via Craigslist.
I haven’t commented on blogs but I have earned my WoW character the title “Elder” and gotten her up to 80.
*sigh*
So [...]

My morning was no better than my night last night when I posted that…
I was grumpy already, before I even left the bed. My shower was too cold. My hair was too floppy. I missed J. before I was even out the door. The drivers on the way into work were fucking INSANE (I actually [...]
so you've said.
