Oh, Erin - I'm glad to read that teaching works out for you. It can be so difficult, especially in the first years.

I hope you feel better, though. The apartment can stay mess-y, as far as I'm concerned. Health comes first.

As for me, other than taking a bit too much this semester (I added a class to teach mid-semester because they had to replace the lecturer), and the deadline for tomorrow (some research grant proposal, lots of bureaucracy and the like), things are OK.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

OH, just a cold sore. More annoying than dehabilitating.

I think I"m a natural teacher. Although that could just be a polite way of saying "BOSSY CONTROL FREAK KNOW-IT-ALL."

Hee.

Well, at least you use your qualities to the advantages of the youth and for the greater good, so who can complain?

My students?

Won't they complain anyway?

Oh, yes. It is the natural state of the student. If they didn't complain, I'd be checking their houses for some serious alien pod action.

See, so you're actually doing both them, their parents and yourself a favor by giving them complaining material. And it's even educational! That's such an impressive multi-tasking!

Huh. Wow, I'm such a rock star! Thanks, Nilly!

I'm totally giving myself a gold star on Monday! Go, team me!

Oh, I'm glad to help.

We never got any sort of stars in schools. I feel so deprived.

But then again, we never had rock stars, either. So maybe it works together, the whole "star" thing.

I actually don't have gold stars. But I do have a cool cursive script stamp and copper ink, and I stamp "Well Done!" on some papers.

Is is beef...or good work? YOU DECIDE!
