Every so often, on awful sleep, I’ll bang out a paper that is just beautiful. This paper for 2020 is a perfect example. Voila

I’ve been super busy this week. Lots of reading, lots of writing, lots of running around. I’ve got a paper due on Friday, but one of my classes isn’t meeting, so that’s good. Had my first quiz of the semester, think I did alright on it. Have to come up with three topics for speech for next Wednesday.
I think I’m getting sick, which sucks. Hopefully it clears up by...
found a parking spot! of course, i’m two hours early for class, but what can you do? breakfast and reading it is, then!

I am so sick of this construction! My walk across campus should have taken 15 or 20 minutes TOPS but instead it was 30!! :<

junkenglish asked: I'm good. Glad to be home, my British Lit 1 class was canceled and I got to leave early from my professional writing class. But, I got a parking ticket. Lame.
junkenglish asked: How are you?!

Parking was fine for me, I usually park at the Greenland Lot, but it was packed by 8a.m. eeek
Yeah, timing is something I’m worried about seeing as my first class doesn’t start until after ten. But maybe that will mean that some of the people who take earlier classes will be gone by then? I...

Okay, so I don’t start classes today! Tomorrow is the big day for me. I looked on D2L but still nothing from my math class or lit class. My two education classes already have their syllabi up and they look like they’re going to be a lot of work. There are some things I am looking forward to - observation hours - and some things I’m not looking forward to - presentations. I know...

I think I’m officially sick, which sucks since my classes start on Friday. :| Immune system, I see what’s up and I am not amused. I’m still trying to figure out where to park for school and if there will be any spaces left when I get there roundabout nine-thirty and if it will be at all possible to not have to use the bus but also not fall in a ditch and die what with all the...

A different perspective on Teach For America. →
savantesyndrome:
“But the most objectionable aspect of Teach for America—other than its contempt for lifetime educators—is its willingness to create another pathway to wealth and power for those already privileged in the rapidly expanding educational-industrial complex, which already offers numerous careers for the ambitious and well-connected. An organization which began by promoting idealism...

matthewismusing:
I was hoping more for a dorm/shadow a student type of thing. MTSU may be a great school and all, but they certainly don’t go the extra mile to attract students to their school… T.T
If I do end up choosing to go to school there, I’m going to try and change this… and maybe their website, too.
Oh man, their website is terrible and it has been so for the long ass time I’ve been...

So! School starts next Friday for me. I’ve only gotten one of the books I ordered (which, awesome, really, thanks a lot), and I still have no idea what text book I need for Informal Geometry. It’s not even showing my course on the text book look up anymore, which worries me. There were only like five sections, tops, of this course on the days I am available for school, so if something...

Had a great New Year’s in downtown Nashville last night! Except for the two fights that broke out on top of my group, things were good. I wasn’t even expecting to get out last night, so it was doubly good for me. :D

I’m already ready for MTSU to be back on. DUMB, I know, but I hate being cooped up in the house like this. And Eek and I get along better if she’s going to playschool while I’m in school. I need that “grown up” time, haha.
The professor for Informal Geometry has still yet to be announced and I have no idea what text book I’ll need, which makes me a bit nervous....
