And Aims? Yay for keeping your GPA, and I certainly don't recommend lowering your standards...but, depressingly, many, many teachers get certified just fine and hired with truly sucktastic GPAs. Anything above a 3.0? Not sucktastic at all.
I have known many people who have had so-so GPAs and went on to be fine teachers (however, I ran into many people in teacher programs who I wanted to stab in the face, just to prevent them from going on and potentially scarring kids, because the STUPID IT BURNED. You, my dear, are never going to be one of them.)

Small chance I may be coming to KCMO for New Year's.
Dammit, poor Daniel is having to clear away a huge bank of snow left after the plows came through again - this is after their first trip through, after which I'd paid a guy to plow our driveway, taking care of the utterly enormous bank. This is ridiculous. It's bloody fucking cold out there, and I can't help him.
"Stop taking drugs or you ain't gonna be nothin'." "I can be mayor of Washington DC."
Apparently, Marion is flogging a reality show called...wait for it..."Mayor for Life."
So far, the idea is not catching on.
Talk about your major hubris. But, bless him, it's never too much to ask.
SQUEE, smonster! (If you do, I am having a NYE party!!)
Don't forget to hire a bartender.
Thank you, Vortex.
Most of my professors in college were pricks of some sort, now that I think on it. Or crazy. Like the creative writing professor who insisted that no one should write science fiction, fantasy, or horror, because those things were of the Devil. Left me unable to write anything at all that didn't suck.
Not sure who's going where, if at all, but will keep you posted.
So, despite prednisone and benedryl and extra strength OTC painkillers and zantac and TWO anti-itch gels... I am still too itchy to sleep. Dammitall. I really don't want to call in again tomorrow, but for me lack of sleep + suppressed immune system will almost surely = cold and OMG if I have to wipe my poor poison ivy nose, it will be pure and absolute misery. At least the anxiety attacks seem to be gone?
Skipping to the end because my Lyme Disease radar went off (remember me? born and raised in East Lyme and therefore ridiculously wary of it?). Jilli, I understand that your doctor is being cautious, but I *UGRE* you to do at least one course of no less than three weeks of Doxycycline or equivalent. If there's any chance you contracted in within the last year, my rather extensive personal experience with family and friends says that it could be the difference between mostly cured and a serious issue that will haunt you your whole life.

Sorry, but I worry.
