My emotional intelligence becomes a highway that I travel into time........

It has been seven days since I last posted, and it seems like it has been a year. We have been quite active at school evry day. We still do not have all of our misplaced ESL students switched to the correct schedules, but we are going after it again next week. It is a fine line indeed, whether... Sign in to see full entry.

After the first day with kids I can safely say two things. One I am not teaching 8th grade math, a job for which I am underqualified; and two, I have the sweetest groups of Mexican and African kids you ever saw in your life. Our classroom is set up with two teachers this year, as we wanted it the... Sign in to see full entry.

Just study, work out, accept responsibility for your own actions..........

Two days have got behind me and I am running late just getting my babies' computer table put together and delivered. We had two half days in the classroom to organize and decorate. My new partner is an artistic genius with bulletin boards, and she has done us very well! Day one of students in... Sign in to see full entry.

The same high dealt heroin addicts, best described as euphori-schizophrenia

Locked and loaded I started out the driveway at just past noon. My Schwinn Le Tour was strapped onto the bike rack attached to my 2002 Ford Explorer. First stop was the hardware store three blocks over for black plastic duct tape to repair the tear to my new saddle. Some of the great foam and sticky... Sign in to see full entry.

What will we feel like when they have blown up the city or the internet?

In between trips to the mall and taking the girls to work I watched two movies and took two naps. Then i went for a nice walk, wound up at the grocery store and walked home with enough yogurt and cottage cheese to get me through till Monday morning. Now, I know there are certain things that...

She had certainly set a good example for her children to tell the truth!

OK, I took a day off of the bike. I stayed home and rested all day, my last full day of freedom, then went for a two and a half mile walk. Yes, I was bruised and battered, but as the day went on, I got my strength back, and felt fully recovered by the afternoon. I have to admit, I felt very good... Sign in to see full entry.

A David Letterman watermelon thrown off the top of the Ed Sullivan Theater

Well, I was out on my bike today, after doing some important napping and movie watching for the government. I saw my favorite movie of the year "Johnny English" -- yes again! -- and "Dirty Harry": I know what you're thinking, punk. Tell the truth in all this excitement I've lost track myself. Did he...

Standing on Main Street, Naked as a Jaybird................................

Well, I guess I have nothing to write about save for the effect of a 90 minute bike ride on a fifty year-old. I've had my second ride this week, and both times I got back feeling as if I had taken drugs. Today when I got back, I just lay on the couch and listened to the 70's channel for forty-five...

So...and guess what Yuri is back. Yay!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm back. First day of registration has gone smoothly. We have our team (teaching team) in place. As I told our new ESL teacher that I had always wanted to team teach, and maybe I'm finally going to get the chance. We saw our supervisor who had not met our new teacher; he quizzed me, then her....

Learning to write is a survival skill. Hello?.............................

I went to the grocery store Saturday morning. This is the neighborhood store where my daughter worked for two years, beginning as a parking lot girl, and ending as a well-respected cashier-clerk. I so love going in there because I am of no small notariety among the employees and mangers. My daughter... Sign in to see full entry.
