    Okay. So, this week is – Sunday –  half me day Monday – full me day Tuesday – going all in with both siblings to watch Endgame Wednesday – me, I guess Thursday – Little sister day Friday – me day. New class on Wednesday. It’s another 102, but the co-teach this term doesn’t seem… Read more

    I’ve been feeling pretty odd lately on several different fronts. It’s about time for me to return to Florida, as per Jason and my agreement from February.  I’m supposed to go down there for a couple of months and then both of us head back to Indiana in late July for Gencon and his vacation.… Read more

    Saving throw failed. I didn’t see Us today, but I kind of knew I wasn’t going to when I finished the blog yesterday.  But, you know, that’s okay. I’m kind of used to getting my hopes up and then letting myself down.   It’s a tedious process but makes it sweeter when I actually do follow… Read more

    I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year. I can see the faded green coming back in winter scorched tree bark….. ………. Grrrr… I love spring, okay. Spring is coming, but it hasn’t sprung just yet. It’s trying.   Starts of Easter Lillies are pushing up from the grown.   There’s green.   I see buds… Read more

    Today is the last day of the first week of the March semester. Geez, that sentence just looks weird, doesn’t it? The good thing is that I have a co-teacher to share my ENGL102 misery with.   102 is the next to lowest English class.   It generally involves a lot of hand-holding and really panicked students. … Read more

    This is really kind of an odd day. I decided to stay in instead of sneaking out to the gym for four hours. I think it made mom happy.  I tend to never ever ever spend a full day at home  … which is a sever change in my personality that was brought about by… Read more

    Yeah, okay, I’m a sucker. I accepted that guy’s super late and ‘hey you’ email.  It didn’t change the outcome so I didn’t have to bother with a change-o-grade form.  But, it’s done and graded.   I’m hoping that he’ll learn a non-existant lesson to be more considerate to adjuncts in the future, but who am… Read more

  • 2/28 – Part two

    ..   I really don’t have anything to do right now, so I thought I’d just sit here and type. –  I need to write more and this is apart of it. So, How to Train Your Dragon was kind of meh.   I didn’t see the second one and saw the first one when it first… Read more

    I’m feeling better now, thank you. Although I still have a simmering sensation in my throat, I’m definitely above craptastic.  That’s a perk. Class ended as well. Do you remember how you would stress out about finals when you were in school? You’d worry, maybe become anxious, and stress?   Well, that’s how it is for… Read more

    As predicted, I managed the morning snow and slush to make it to the cancer doctor. Everything checked out fine. They did just about everything but pat me on the head and give me a lollipop, which is okay.    The girl who checks me out – Samantha – knows the whole experience is pretty… Read more
