I don’t know if the subject line makes any sense at all, but . . . I have two freelance type jobs that I do–tutoring and photography.  As I was driving home last night I realized that I had completely spaced editing a paper for a tutoring student. How do you forget a project entirely??Continue reading “forgetful focus”

Things I did this weekend: 1) Started reading Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials chronicles. (This deserves it’s own blog.) 2) Walked to Target with my roommate and went to the Silver Diner with some old friends. 3)Bought a Mac. (Whoopee!!!) 4) Got a giant discount as an educator. And a free ipod!  5) Took myselfContinue reading “Weekend Events”

Life is changing. I have been feeling really down and out lately. I could speculate on the whys and the wherefores, but I already know why, and I don’t really care if you know why! (Not that I don’t care, but the reasons are stupid and complicated.) Needless to say, things are looking up. I’mContinue reading “Great Expectations”

Last night we talked about politics and propaganda in World Literature. I wish it would have been a better discussion, but everyone kept stating the obvious and then moving on. I really need to come up with better questions. The content of this class intrigues me, but discussing literature for 4.5 hours is just stupid.Continue reading

Corey–The Bride Sybille Bruun–the director, of Hamlet, part 2. Heidi–I picked her and Marybeth up in Chinatown Thursday night and we caught up on her adventures as a casting agent in NYC. Rick–he’s now acting with ASC’s touring company. We went to grad school together. It was good to see him, even if it wasContinue reading “This Weekend”

Lots to catch up on. My first week of school, for this quarter, was wonderful. I am a little overwhelmed by my luck. I get to do a job I love, and make good money doing it! I feel very blessed. I’m teaching 6 classes this quarter–2 College Comp, 2 World Lit, 2 Ethics. IContinue reading “Best job ever”

Yesterday, I attended the baptism of a friend–Frank. After the baptism, while he and the missionary who baptized him were getting into dry clothes, we watched a video on Joseph Smith’s first vision. As I watched it, a few thoughts came to my mind. I jotted them down. Here they are! I believe it isContinue reading “The Consequences of Faith”

I’m trying to be good. I’m trying to be organized. I have a big desk now.I have my books on a desk. I’ve been working out. I still ate Mac and Cheese last night after boiling water for steel oats. (It was going to take 30 minutes to cook steel oats!! Who has that kindContinue reading “Organizing my life”

Yet another 2am night. I swear, I’m going to croak. I’ve corrected so many term papers, it’s making my eyes dry out. I use the term “corrected” oh so loosely because really–I’m skimming for the certain required properties and that’s about it. I feel like a horrible excuse for a teacher, but hey! I’ve gotContinue reading “Productive Days of Thundering”

http://lightrefreshmentsserved.com/2008/07/28/catapult/ This blog is a crack up. Read it and weep. I just got home from the gym. I haven’t been since Thursday and I’ve been eating horribly over the past few days. I’ve also felt myself become toxic. I think exercise truly helps me to stave off depression. I had three very different experiencesContinue reading “Funny blog”
