And also known as "that teacher who falls all the time."
I have to say you've earned that nickname. You know Chrissie Hynde had a period where she'd wear knee-pads over her leather pants while on tour. You know - so she could go skidding on her knees on stage. I think you should consider this as a fashion accessory.
Dude, you're like the guy I knew who grew up with an inner ear problem and had to wear a football helmet for most of his childhood. Or maybe we could get you one of those self-defense suits. It would be defense against yourself.
Hec, I am crawling over to the clinic and then home. I'm sorry it went all fucktastic on you.
But so, so glad that Emmett is fine.
eta: Please, please, please can you run to the corner and get some TheraFlu? I know it's just another 3 blocks past the apartment, but I'm pretty sure I will be totally physically incapable of getting there.
Erin, how long were you in school before you started student teaching? Also, what are you teaching? And can we run off and found a school together?
Erin, I think you have an inner ear that spins. Like a dervish.

Yes, ma'am. Do I need to get you something like hot and sour soup too?
Yeah, school! I would love to start my own school -- except for, you know, RUNNING it.
Emily, not sure exactly what you wanted but I got my BA and Ma in English from 1990-1997, worked till 2003, when I started on my MA in Education. I started student teaching in January, and I graduate in April.
And I would look like such a HOOKER in knee pads! Really, there no way to avoid that. I always have leg bruises and cuts and scrapes -- i bet ita looks less damaged after krav testing than I do after walking around for a day.

My brain swerves, I think.
Okay, so the being-in-school-for-teaching was, what, three semesters of classes before you started student teaching? That's probably what mine'll be too, just thought I'd check.
Honestly, I think next semester I can arrange my schedule better -- not tutoring will be a big relief -- but this one is just so exhausting, with the school and work and tutoring and assisting. Gah!
Yep, three semesters, plus summers...but I was taking undergrad courses needed for my certification, as well as the courses for the MA.
3 semesters of observing, and now one semester of falling...er, teaching.
