I hate doing student conferences. They make my butt hurt, they give me a headache, and I often doubt they do much good. I'm of a mixed mind on the whole "General Studies" front. On the one hand, I have such a wide variety of interests that I was sad when I had finished my generals. I loved taking history, sociology, and literature at the...

Ok, here's the deal. Tomorrow I am going to see if I am moving. I have a chance to live rent-free for awhile (which would kick ass, money-wise). It would be as a sort-of caretaker (read: mowing the lawn, scooping the snow, keeping the place clean, and being there when repair-persons show up). For the first few months (until about May) there would be 2...

I think I am spending way too much time watching MST3K episodes on Youtube.

Ok, time for something lighter Thanks again to all who commented.

This sunday, I start my first week of being captain of a pool team. I was rather surprised that I volunteered, as I am usually the guy who just likes to let others make the unimportant decisions on things like this. Anyway, the job gets broken down like this:

1: Recieve paperwork each week...

Thank you to everyone who commented on my previous blog. Father Smutny was quite a special man, and touched many many lives. I attended his wake service last night. The church was packed. I was a little sad that it wasn't held in one of the 3 churches he was assigned to (at the same time), but all three have been closed because of the...

I'm getting so sick and tired of being the only single person in all of my groups of friends. It's like, every time I see any of my friends it is just another punch in the gut.

And worse . . . all of my friends' friends are hooked up, too! So nobody tries to introduce me to anyone, and I can't seem to find...

I need to start learning to not react to members I've put on ignore.

Ok, so the stomach issues have calmed down. Thank you all who made suggestions. Turns out that drinking a couple cups of tea for breakfast and just being careful for the rest of the day works well.

Today is move-in day for the college. Which means Monday is the first day of classes. Would it be mean of me to wander down to the campus...

My stomach continues to get worse. If I eat in the morning, I get stomach cramps. If I don't for awhile, I just get the same cramps later. But they don't happen in the evening. I don't know what is going on, but something needs to change quick, because classes are starting soon and I can't leave my class in the middle to run to...

Just over a week to go. Wonder who I'll have in my classes.

I hope things will work well. I've got a feeling I'm going to have quite a few people drop from my classes. But that's ok. These should not be easy classes.

This time I'm doing something different. Before, I've coddled students along, going over everything they should have learned in high school....
