i am currently sitting the TC library working on finishing my last project as the semester comes to a close. this last week was one of the most work-laden weeks of my life. i think i almost developed a chemical dependency to guarana-based energy drinks. i've even started ot really enjoy the flavor of them, which was never the case in the past. i basically saved all of my work for this past semester until the last possible moment. no, scratch that, i turned in my masters portfolio a week late. none of this would have been too bad under normal circumstance, but when you are waking up at 6am every day, teaching for 8 hours, and getting home no earlier than 5pm on top of doing a semester's worth of work it becomes a little silly. of course, i always wait until the last minute and i think i work best under the situations of extreme pressure. the only hting i feel bad about is that i was teaching at a point of near-exhaustion, which lowered the quality of my teaching. in undergrad this would not have been a problem because noone depended on me, but in this case there are about 100 6th graders who do depend on me. I didn't do a terrible job, but i could have been better. what i don't understand is that it seems like al of the teachers at the school where i student teach come in jsut as tired as me. fine, maybe they have stuff at home and what not, but my cooperating teacher, whose job is uber-easy with me doing all the teaching and lesson planning comes in as tired or more than i. i jsut don't get it. perhaps i have this to look forward to.
in a couple of days htis semester will be over and i will ahve about two weeks off. my next step is to find a way to make money this summer so i can make it through to september when i start getting paid for real. then i have to find an apartment for matt and i to move into (let the full-time alcoholism begin! ...
here's a excerpt from my life:
i arrive at matt's apt. around 5. we are gonna head over to Rockafeller University for free beer hour (this is usually a pre-game for the rest of the evening)
we pre-game the pre-game with a couple fo beers.
manisha calls matt to see what's up, when we're coming, etc...
phone rings
matt picks u: yo!
pause
Matt: why do think we're drinking, i'm not slurring my words or anything, am i?
more uninteresting convo
...
hangs up
Matt: so Manisha asked "are you guys drinking?" and i said "why do you think we're drinking?" and she said "well, you guys are together."
like i said alcoholism here i come!)
i also have to find a job during all of this and take some more classes so i cna graduate in june or august (depending if one class opens up or not).
bla bla bla
whenever i write a post like this i regret it because i feel like it is boring and not very funny. but i need to procrastinate and there's nothing on the internet that interests me right now. oh and speaking of which Nicole still loves Tom (most popular article on cnn.com right now). and in related news lesbians react to pheremones similarly to heterosexual males, but not exactly. this seems like fun research to do. get a bunch of people, have 'em smell stuff and MRI them while they do. then ask them questions about it.
