Random Thoughts (in no particular order)

…ALMOST there….I have just a few things left to do before I’m finished with the work I have to present and / or produce for completion of my Master’s…
…I was out for coffee with PTrinity yesterday when she mentioned that she’d heard that another intern, from a different school, got one of the three positions [...]

Vacation Week

This is April vacation week at school, and I’m lucky enough that the school where I work and the school the girls attend have the same April vacation. This hasn’t always been the case.
Anyway, we’re starting the week off kind of slowly. I spent a good portion of Saturday afternoon printing out items [...]

Special Guest Stars

Last week was a busy one at school. I had the pleasure of hosting two of my best and dearest in my classrooms: Wayfarer came to visit and observe on Monday, and Kizz came to teach and observe on Thursday.
Wayfarer teaches at a charter school in a neighboring state and was interested in not [...]

I LOVE This Job!!

Today was a really good day.
A few weeks ago, I posted an entry with a picture from an artist named Samuel Bak. It was one of a number of works I’d seen in the art gallery at my university while attending a conference on teaching the Holocaust to high school students.
I decided, standing in [...]

Hey, You!! Back on the Horse!

So, I’m off to spread a few more resumes around today. I’m going to deliver a packet to the high school in my hometown and I have another almost ready to send off to a nearby community.
Today wasn’t so bad; I think I’m finding balance in all of this. The fact that PTrinity’s [...]

The Universe Saying “Hey!”

So, here’s what happened to me last night; I thought you might be interested to hear the story.
I was invited to PTrinity’s Passover Seder yesterday evening. When I arrived, her husband had a story he had to tell me, and he had to tell me right away.
He was in a local [...]

Thanks, but No Thanks

So! Anyone care to guess how [...]

Ooo! Ooo!

I got this comment from Vanx, and it made me laugh so that I HAD to post it as an entry in and of itself:
[in voice of Horschak, hand flailing in air] “Ooo! Ooo! Miss Chili! I’m finished!” [in voice of Vanx, hands rubbing together like sandpaper] “Adam vs. Satan, [...]

A Failure of Confidence

I need to stop thinking about this. I was feeling pretty confident about my chances for getting this job – now, I’m not so sure.
I don’t get any particularly positive feelings from anyone about my chances. One of the teachers mentioned that she’s not sure she’s EVER seen someone hired from [...]

“Reading” Art

I’m hoping for a lot of comments on this one – especially from those of you (Vanx, Claudia…) for whom art is a way of life.
I had the good fortune to attend a conference on teaching the Holocaust at my university yesterday. While I would have preferred they break the event into two days [...]
