My first quarter teaching has come and gone. I had a rather intense moral debate with myself when it came time to give grades:
1 student didn't do half of the homework but had made recent improvements and a decent final exam score.
A couple of students who tried quite hard, did all of the work but at the end of the quarter couldn't do...

hmm...it's been a while.
Lessons learned:
Cops like touching my id. They always want to see it. And then they just touch it and look at it before reluctantly giving it back....weird.
Strawberry soda is great. It should be in your home.
Strawberry soda does not mix with vodka. Even though everything else does. It's weird. It just tastes like vodka and strawberry soda. Like...

The cold weather has begun to set in. It was a long fall this year (for chicago). I'm ready for nights by the fire, hot cocoa and snow to pile up in my windows. But a couple more weeks of warm weather would be nice.

Last week I was sitting outside having a wonderful cup of apple cider enjoying a wonderful day with wonderful company. A less than wonderful wasp started circling me. It was beginning to get annoying when it decided to dive full speed into my cider. Then it continued to swim...

A lovely week.
After a good 4 hour stint of doing calculations I finally finished step 1 of the problem I've been working on. I got the wrong answer
Somewhere in those 4 hours I missed something. But my mind continues to wander to other things...
I guess science can wait for a second

I'm glad you had a lovely weekend. Mine was good but I always feel like I wasn't as productive as i should be with housework and that kind of stupid crap. this weekend is yet another chance to get stuff done and have fun, of course.
I've tried the video game thing. my fingers get tired and i get all super-tense.
if i get inspired by a game though, it might just be the extra groove i need to get over that hurdle.

And did you like the show?
magni:
Sorry I didn't make it. 
Whoa, I've been super busy lately.
Working and shite is a bit much sometimes. It's good but a bit much. For some it's too much. I found out tonight a peer at another Chicago school took his own life from it.
It's a pretty lonely subject that's for sure. You can't even talk about what you're doing with your classmates. It's hard to settle down...

Shit. Scary. I so hate that thought, that all I want right now is to teach and when it finally becomes I possibility they'll probably only want me in Kansas or North Dakota or something.
No, I have peanut butter. I decided to be a bad person and get the cheap really crappy but tasty peanut butter. It's delish.
We might actually get around to seeing Phil one of these days...I don't even know where he's living.

Weekend recap:
Friday: Had a bottle of wine at a piano bar. Got serenaded by a couple of queens. Sang somewhere over the rainbow. Proceeded to a sports bar which was too full. Apparently there is some kind of big baseball thing going on right now Proceeded to this taqueria which has a door in the back which leads to this complete dive bar. There...

Let's see...
I'm sick. I think I'm getting over it. But these things like to taunt me, like Chicago weather. I will probably let myself go kill some brain cells this weekend.
I might be killing my students. It definitely looked that way yesterday. The first problem set was due. I asked if I was killing them. No one said anything. I gave them more...

Killing brain cells while slowing getting over being sick always seems to help.
Or rather no knowledge of grades, no teachers with guilt complexes. Or fears.
