Frat day as a teacher Woot, I just wish I hadn't been dumb enough to choose a first year class it's like try to squeeze water from stone. I already had one student ask if he should drop out.
First years classes are always tough, but you'll learn a lot from this. Better to start out with a tough class and gain experience, than to start with an easy class, and be shocked down the road.
I decided to splurge a bit today and buy myself a gift to celebrate getting a job, so I got on the iPhone bandwagon. I'm also getting my sleeve worked on for the first time in over 6 months on Monday. I actually had an appointment with my artist on Friday but I found out one day he just said he quit and walked out... Read More
Yay! Congratulations on the new job and phone. I"ll be jumping on the iPhone bandwagon soon enough. My current phone is giving me all sorts of problems, and I"m due for a new phone in a couple of weeks. I"m excited about it.
Can"t wait to see what your sleeve looks like after your appointment
Bah, iphone. I had to buy a new one. They're great though aren't they? Stupid amount to spend on one, but one you go smartphone, you never go back!

I'm still not completely sure but... Read More
I started my training as a teaching assistant today and it was incredibly fun. It was great to just to hang out with intelligent people again after months of not being around anyone but my immature flatmates. Then as I was on my way home I cant a phone call about a job in a lab I had applied... Read More

So now I am a little depressed because I have decided to stay in a city that makes me feel like shit just so... Read More
