Yesterday was awesome!
LittleFierceOne and I decided to take our nearly broke asses out of town for a day trip. Somehow, he found out about Krner's Folly, a very strange house in Kernersville, NC. If you've never been, I highly encourage it. It's only $6 per person (they're trying to get money together to renovate, as well as keep up the property), and you...

My last post was long.
This one isn't.
I'm so fucking excited about next year. I intend to plan with my cooperating teacher over the summer. I'm. that. into. this.
And people think teachers get summers off. Poppycock.
I wanna get together before I start working and have to do summer school.

Dude... seriously, in two days (including today), I'm done with class. At 3:00pm tomorrow afternoon, I will leave my last class of the semester, and I won't have to return to the school of education's shenanigans until August 20th! I will have a volunteer thing to do that night, and two papers and two take home exams due the following week, that's IT!

I'm so psyched for you finishing the semester finally and getting it behind you. Can't wait to get to see you again.

Haha, love the li'l sentence by your name. 
Thanks for the suggestions...the IE fix was the one I'd already been trying. Now I'm zooming the page to 105% and that works, but it makes other stuff look a tad wonky. Ugh, this stupid layout. I probably should switch to Firefox anyway. Happy Friday!

I feel less like a crappy student.
I'm leaving in an hour to go to the airport to fly to St. Louis for a wedding. It should be fun. I'll miss LittleFierceOne. Take care of him while I'm gone. (But not too much... I want him to miss me a little...
) I'll be back Sunday afternoon.

Have a good time!
I am such a crappy student.
I'm exhausted... and still have 4 out of 5 pages to write for a paper that was due yesterday (I said I already wrote it, and was given permission to turn it in, today). I went to sleep after I started it, because I couldn't think straight after spending many hours (and tears) trying to write a lesson plan...

Dude, it's probably going to happen just like that.
schiavona:
No, it hasn't been postponed. So I'll still be missing you at the party. 
I don't think I need to say it, but the site layout has become a clusterfuck of crap, again. I've blocked a lot of the background images because it takes FOREVER to load a page. And I hate that the blog posts are cut off in favor up putting up all the flashy images that most people could give two shits about.
I also can't...

Thank you so much for your kind, caring words regarding the loss of my kitty, Newman. I appreciate it greatly.
And I am in absolute agreement with you re. the changes (yet again!) to this site. The format just becomes more and more cumbersome and visually unappealing. Blech.
Take care...

DIng, Ding, Ding! Yeah, Idjiit's on this new kick of making somewhat discrete dirty photos. This was a fun first try.
Oh, and you already know this, but I am your sister in solidarity of hating this new layout!!

Hey, I clicked on your blog link, and when I came to, I had read through most of March and was heading into February. So, this tells me that your writing flows well, is intelligent, and interesting! The story of the kid that brought the knife to school is scary, but what's most scary is that it probably happens all the time, in every city. Young, depressed kids try bringing something dangerous to school to spark some reaction of interest from their peers, in hopes of being recognized, seen and/or accepted. Meanwhile their parents and teachers are often too over-worked to notice in time.
Thank you for becoming an elementary teacher. It, like nursing, or being a police officer, is so important, yet I know my limitations on stress keeps those from being career possibilities for me. Seeing as I will not have children of my own, I have visions of trying to use my career in horticulture to reach out to children and the community, and make a contribution in my own way. But being in a classroom with more than say 3 students at a time, would kill me.

Seperation of church and state?
What's that? Good old GWB doesn't think that's required anymore.
The girl and I are heading back to California at the end of the month, and will be passing through New Mexico and Arizona on the way back... we were planning on hitting the Grand Canyon, but were hoping you might have some cool "locals only" information for us on places to go, things to eat, etc. for us?

I totally ditched Vampirate on his birthday because I suck. Sad, sad. I haven't seen any SG peoples in what seems like forever - I really need to get OUT!
I finished teaching my unit and it went REALLY well. Not perfect, of course, but way better than I'd hoped. The kids seemed to enjoy it and I think they got something out of it,...

lol @ ur dream...isn't it just crazy the kind of strange things that happen in our dreams?? You wake up going, "WTF???" And yes, you should get out and have some fun dear!
Taught lesson one of a three lesson unit on North Carolina government, today. We pretty much had to do this unit from scratch, too, so I'm very proud of it - today went really really well! I can't wait to see what they come up with for their debates next week.
I'm exhausted and tired... (meaning mentally and physically)... and it's 80-something degrees outside. I'm...

Well, there's Dan's XXX party Saturday night.....
vampirate:
Thank you! I did manage to have an awesome birthday, despite your absence (grrrrrr)! I'll see you elsewhere in not too long?
There is so much to share about the trip, and I need to catch up with everyone and see how you're all doing (I've been glancing through journals, just haven't had much time to comment.) School is taking over, again - I have so much planning and writing and reflecting to do this weekend, it's unreal. BUT, I decided that it would make me feel...

Glad you had such a lovely trip.
OMG that is HIGH UP!!!! Yikes!
But it's sooooo purty 
I miss you too. We must hang out sometime soon for real.
Best of luck with the unit and general school stuff

Unfortunately, the outside is causing me to be sick. Allergies are kicking me badly. **sigh**
We miss you. As soon as you have time you must let me know so we can hang out.
How's the class going?

Sigh. My plans have failed...but if you would like to willingly go anywhere with me, do say the word! You has my number...I can has cheezburger?
This song basically says it all...with very cute little kittens too!!!!!
Really if you haven't seen that site, it's pure gold...click the link at the bottom...
But if you can think of anywhere else to go, I will totally gladly come with. I have to live it up between now and May 29, because after that I'll be out of commission for 6 solid weeks. Modern Dance Boot Camp! But I'm so excited!!!
And it's so great that you're excited about your summer work. It's so not lame. That rules! Being passionate is the roxor!!!1111 (okay I am not sure I used that correctly. but yeah. it rocks)
Dude I loved your blog against theocracy. I read it at the time but I was all being sad and s**t and didn't say anything then. It's so true though. Having gone to a catholic school I was very confused as a kid
Girl, you need to get in some making out the couch time. For real. That's a life experience. And not one that will get you a stomach pump or a night in jail or a liver disease or an addiction. It's the GOOD KIND. It's playful and fun.
Life takes all kinds of odd turns (ha ha I don't think you could even map mine) but in the end it usually works out, and even when it doesn't there's something to do about it. But you're with TFO and that's great and now you've got the school stuff and yay! Go you!
Thanks for the all the loves and hugs and encouragements. You're so very sweet. I loves ya
Those pics are SWEET! That house is freaking awesome. I love the "conversation chair"! And I want an attic like that. That's the shit. And I know what you mean about the staircase shot. Every time I do one of those I think either I will fall or I"ll drop my camera and it will be pulverized. LOL TFO must have felt like a giant!
Big big big huggins to you pretty lady. For real. Let's hit the town!
PS...I hope you've already seen these but...if not...omg...the cuteness

PPS. This comment is like longer than your update. I am the rambling queen!
By the way, if you ever want to head down here to do any research, you are welcome to stay here. I am right smack dab in the middle of about 6 different school systems!!
