As a teacher you are bound to be able to guess that I do not get paid spectacularly. Especially in the first year of work. But, I personally think the buckage I make is totally BANK. Now, that being said, I figured out the hourly for myself based upon the amount of time I am [...]

What’s the best way to get back in?
Certainly not with that lame post from the other day.
Here’s what’s been up. Finally feeling super comfortable in the classroom and the kids are too. Implemented som new systems over break and things have run that much more smoothly! And you thought just because you get a masters’s [...]

What does a month extra of teaching look like?
Well, you know how when you get into a routine? Yeah, like that. It’s not a rut, but more like a groove.
I haven’t really had motivation to write because I am not terribly excited to share school news in this forum and that’s pretty much all [...]

Did his bachelor party at Dave and Buster’s last night, which was a surprise party of sorts because he [...]

Apologies to Bono, the Edge, and the other guys in U2 whose names are never remembered because they’re regular dudes.
Today, Tim and I hopped up early to get a jump on a stats test. We got to the library about 9:30 and worked for two and a half hours before breaking for lunch. The we [...]

If you think college was hard, wait till you start thinking you need a few more letters behind your name.
Arguably, my degree is relatively easy, but don’t let that dissuade you from the fact that this is insanely difficult. Indeed with any post-graduate degree it is going to be intense, focused, and something that you [...]
