Cold hands, cold heart

About Me

I am a high school math teacher who was born a stubborn taurus and an only brat which makes for (as I'm sure you've guessed) an excellent combination in the classroom. I never wanted children of my own and now I make a living raising the kids of about 90 families.
Other than that, if you want to know something, ask.
***Oh yeah, my dad taught me, at a very young age, to hate the french (and Rory taught me that the french get no capital letters because they suck).***

My Blog

I overslept.

Since I have gone back to work, I have not slept later than 8:00 am on the weekends.  I do not think that it was  unreasonable for me to assume that I would have any trouble waking up bu noo...

I forgot about this one

On top of my splinted finger, my forearms are covered in bruises from lugging around metal-framed posters on Monday.  After teaching my last class, one of my students pulls me aside and asks if I...

Another proud moment brought to you by ME!

I sustained my first on-the-job injury yesterday when I slammed my finger in the door.  I finally gave (after about 5 hours of constant bleeding) in and got it checked out.  I wound up needi...

What is the draw toward Oprah?

Why do so many people like Oprah Winfrey? I do not see her "special something" at all.  The other day, I caught about 5 minutes of an Oprah episode and it was utterly ridiculo...

While all of you are slaving away at work tomorrow...

I'll be wishing I was.  Instead, I'll be taking an eight-hour exam.  Ok, back to studying.

Another three day week!!!

So it seems like I'm going through a "woe is me" period (judging from my last few blogs).  Honestly, the past few weeks, I have been feeling really, really shitty.  Today is different, thou...
