Lost Exam?
This morning I lived every university students dream. My professor lost our exam. Let’s start at the beginning. My university just revamped the whole English program, so in order to complete my degree on time next year I needed to take a couple of second year credits to catch up. So, I took a Restoration to Romantics course, and at the last minute decided to switch from the section I was initially in to one that I knew some people in. First good decision. I ended up with a really nice prof who is brilliant, but extremely scatter-brained and eccentric. She was often late for class, forever losing things and…

Happy Easter*
**I PASSED 1000 VISITORS AND I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE!!! Okay, that’s SO exciting.

Ahhh… I’ve sucked at writing the past week. I’m sorry!! I was quite sick for a few days there–complete with a man voice–but I’m much better now.

Wits End*
Time to vent. I am at a loss. I teach two afternoons a week at a local elementary school. I spend an hour of each afternoon with a group of grade 6’s, and a group of grade 3’s. My grade 6’s are great. A little rambunctious sometimes, but they listen to and respect me. My grade 3’s are a different story. If I can get through a PAGE of my lesson, then that’s a REALLY good day. I need help. If anyone out there in that great big world has any ideas/strategies for holding attention of kids who don’t want their attention held, PLEASE HELP ME. haha It’s so frustrating…
