Labs to prepare, tests to correct, a room to clean, friends to call, bills to pay…a million tasks I haven’t done. But somehow last night I found time to SHAVE MY CHEST.
Better add the ’silliness’ tag right now.
Maybe I did it because I’m giddy for the upcoming payday. Maybe it’s an unconventional way [...]
The students bombed my last biology quiz. Even in the best class, the average grade was an F, 15.9 out of 30. I know precisely the reason; its because the students cannot articulate themselves. Everyone does fine when the questions are fill-in-the-blank or true/false, but once they turn to the second page and find short [...]
Check it. WhatUpThen is a little bit antisocial. For example, WhatUpThen seldom speaks the way it appears on this blog, especially when it’s in the third person like this. That just made me think of something since today, evidently, was “Talk Like A Pirate Day” (Sister Xena says “how bizarre?), wouldn’t it be awesome to [...]
My first full-time teaching experience has so far been without horror stories. The kids have been generally well-behaved and they might even be learning a little something or other about science. The biggest issue so far has just been my lack of preparation; I adlib so many class sessions that it’s bound to catch up [...]
Another Sunday night crammed with all of the paper-grading and lesson-planning I didn’t do earlier in the weekend. But somehow I found a moment to tell you this!
There’s no doubt that Magic: The Gathering is some incredibly geeky shit. But I feel secure enough to post this image of a Magic card on my blog where no one can see…
I haven’t played in forever, but this card lingers in my mind because of its flavor text. This is some demonic hellraiser [...]
Oh. Hell. Yeah. You can’t see me and you cannot hear the giddy/maniacal laugh I unleashed only minutes ago. Be assured, though, that I’m oh so happy. Something just happened that made my day.
Someone linked to me!!!
It’s this person!!! –> http://videoxy.wordpress.com/
Mystery blogger, who are you? Where do you [...]
After school Friday, I stayed until 6pm entering grades into the computer and getting organized. I tried the television in the room just to see and, lo and behold, the thing gets basic cable! Friday afternoon isn’t the best time for TV, evidently, because I couldn’t find anything worth watching and I finally [...]
There may be no way to say this without sounding like a complete prick, but it’s not like my massive readership is going to suffer, so here goes:
When I arrived home an hour ago at about 12:40am, I noticed my reflection in the mirror. It was an otherwise unremarkable moment; I was taking off my [...]
The students’ ire was rising semi-high because of class inactivity. For a week now they’ve been subjected to lectures interspersed with group problem-solving, but there has been nothing hands-on and the promises of such were losing effectiveness
Today, I got them up and moving and scuttling around the room performing different measurements using meter sticks, [...]
