Can't magic fairies come and pack my luggage while I read a book and go to bed early?Not until they are done here. And they haven't even showed up yet. Guess I'll have to make my own tea.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've never been to a school with lockers - we kept our books in desks, unlocked, in classrooms used by many people.
Until 6th form, when no one had more than four subjects, so we carried everything with us.

Speaking of grad school: what the heck are they wanting in a "personal statement"? I mean, sure, say "I really want a degree in X, cause it's what I want to do and this is how my past experience is great for that", but...I'm just not sure of the tone/formality/setup.
When I was doing grad school applications, I googled for some advice and found a bunch of sites that had sample personal statements. It helped me get the hang of what kind of tone was expected.

My two sophomores share a locker. I really don't know what they would do without it. I tried to pick up K-Bugs backpack the other day and almost hurt myself. I understand why so many kids have roller-wheel backpacks.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Locks on lockers are not to prevent the administration from accessing a student's locker, they are there to stop other kids from doing so.
Don't they get theft and vandalism and petty bullying and other shit going on?
When I was in 7th grade, we had lockers with a "no locks" rule. Administration said it was to keep students from being late by taking the time to open locks.
Don't remember theft problems. More problems by people putting embarrassing things into other people's lockers.

Well, I'm applying to grad school in Seattle, so...yeah, would kinda have to. But whether I go would depend in part on the job situation, among other things (finances, visiting the place and actually liking it...)
SEATTLE!!!!1!
Ahem.

Heh. Fear not, PMM--if I actually manage to get my ass in gear and apply, a visit out there will be needed v. soon!! I'll get to see squeakaboo!!
I'm also contemplating applying to a program in Portland--it looks like more fun, but it's nowhere near as prestigious/well-respected. I haven't decided yet how important that is....
(Oh, I got my official GRE results Saturday, too! So Verbal=770 (/800, 99%ile), Math=790 (90%ile), and writing=6.0 (out of 6! 96%ile) Yeehaw! Why isn't real life more like taking multiple choice tests??? I'm *good* at those!)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Rock ON with your bad test-taking self!

I don't get the scheduling, either, though. That can't be right. You'd only have a chance to teach one class a day that way, yes?
Exactly. It'd certainly give me some free time! But since the teacher information page talks about "no more than four classes a day," I guess I must be misunderstanding something.
AmyLiz, good point. I'm just trying to think what she might ask, so I'm not going, "Duhhh.... I dunno" on the phone. I've pretty much read everything they have on their Website. I think I need to come up with a couple of questions (for the ever-fun "Do you have any questions for me?") and think up what I think about education in general, but it's unlikely to be too in-depth (more "Is this person worth spending interview time on?"). Of course my major question is, why are they looking for someone to teach these classes in the middle of the year?
