Upon Further Consideration...

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 11:37:00 -0700

I publicly apologize for making this conflict public, when I should have given it time to be solved privately. I was wrong for speaking hastily and in anger and I ask that anyone who was offended please forgive me for my actions. I have pulled the offending post. It is ...

Fall Semester so Far

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 10:38:00 -0700

Insanity. All insanity. Classes, tutoring, pre-student teaching, lesson planning, reading, paper writing, test taking, filling out paper work, meeting attending, DRIVING (I feel like I spend hours in the car), and sometimes I sleep. But mostly I fret.

Here is a typical day for me - up at 5:30am to ...

Worst Case Scenario...

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 21:14:00 -0700

I'm freaking out a little. There is a lot going on this semester and at times it is overwhelming. Normal course work, stuff that any other time in my academic career would have been nothing, is starting to be beyond my capacity. Not that it is too hard, just I ...

The Whirlwind

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:05:00 -0700

I am officially the worst update-er ever, as cliche as we all know that is, and as terrible as an opening line it may be, we all know it is true. Sometimes in the minutes in between the insanity that has come to be my life, I get bored. But mostly I am ...

Absence Explained

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 08:04:00 -0700

This week is my second week of summer vacation, so you would expect with all that extra time I would be spending more hours catching up with my friends on OH. Unfortunately my "free time" was largely not my own last week, as my dad and his "girlfriend" came from ...

Grapes

I mentioned a couple days ago that Oprah was going to air a show about teens and WLS. When i read the preview on Oprah's website I didn't recognize it, but I watched the show yesterday and I guess I have seen it before. She has done other shows that ...

Hey folks,

I am off to Camp in the moring. The camp is set up to allow people with cognitive and physical disabilities to experience camp. I'm going to be a counselor there from Sunday until next Friday. The experience is sure to be awesome and I hope to come away ...

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:18:00 -0700

I got my special envelope from ETS (Educational Testing Service) that had the results from my Praxis II Social Studies test (that I took back on June 14 and felt unsure about) and....drum roll please......

Noah's Ark Adventure

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:54:00 -0700

I had an awesome time yesterday at Noah's Ark in Wisocnsin Dells. Our trip there was the first time that I can remember spending the day at a water park and not feelng completely awful about myself. I had a cute suit that I felt good in (enough to let my husband ...

Bowflex Commercial

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 12:39:00 -0700

I don't know what the folks down at Bowflex are thinking. The guy on the Bowflex commercial comes off as a cocky jerk and instead of making me think about purchasing the home-gym thing, makes me want to spit at him. I don't know if he is scripted or just ...
