As I mentioned, I created some cute stuff for my new nephew. Now, I can’t claim this is my idea. I shamelessly stole it from another blogger. The idea, not the designs. Geez. I’m not that much of a hack. Here’s what you need to know about my brother and sister in law. They’re both teachers. [...]

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 [...]

What might they sell at this store? Well, vacuums is obvious…but dragons? How about a medieval sword along with that pack of bags [...]

Things are busy this week! Between trying to do thesis stuff, get my HR paperwork taken care of, and doing stuff for the brother’s wedding on Friday (oh snap, that’s tomorrow) I’ve dropped the ball on this.
Did his bachelor party at Dave and Buster’s last night, which was a surprise party of sorts because he [...]

I got the call from Human Resources down at the district a little bit ago. I have verbally committed to the position and only require a contract to be signed and the Board to approve me (which is a foregone conclusion).
The only thing I have to do for them is take a physical. Okay, it’s [...]

There are things about July that make it totally awesome.
And it’s the last time I will spend sitting on this side.
And it’s my birthday at the end of this month to boot.
I do subscribe to the belief that there are three times a year a man should never have to work: 4th of July (Country), [...]
