On hold WaMu, hello SchoolsFirst
Filed in All in a Day's Work, The Day Events, World of Warcraft, uhh...random!, March 6, 2009, 4:12 pmSome uneasy times right now and I’ve finally opened up an account with SchoolsFirst. Actually they call it being a “member”. I should have done it like, last year, but oh well. Oh, and my family members can join too. There is a branch pretty close to me so I’m happy with that.
Anyone else sad [...]
Sarah Brightman
Filed in All in a Day's Work, Droolworthy, Media, The Day Events, December 20, 2008, 3:32 pmI went to a Sarah Brightman concert yesterday at the Honda Center. It was sooooooo good. Better than I expected and so much more. It’s up there with Cirque de Soleil for me because of how beautiful everything was. The set, the clothing, the stuff projected on the screen, the creative aspects, and the music…she’s [...]
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Filed in All in a Day's Work, Droolworthy, Media, The Day Events, December 15, 2008, 1:48 pmWell, it did for me. Keanu Reeves walking down a hallway with a suit on. Oh Em Gee. I know time stopped for me. I didn’t want it to end.
Could he be any hotter over 40? Could he?? And look at that rain…and Jennifer Connelly is soooooo cute in this movie too.
Anyhow, Keanu is pretty [...]
WoW is everywhere
Filed in All in a Day's Work, Gaming, The Day Events, December 11, 2008, 3:12 pmToday I wore my BlizzCon08 shirt to work today, over a long sleeved shirt. I got through the first class without incident, and I went up to the teacher and he said
Mr. S: By the way, Mrs. M (the other teacher I work under), her husband plays that game. He gets together with friends and [...]
Mad about math
Filed in All in a Day's Work, The Day Events, December 3, 2008, 7:28 pmSo I’m walking around in one of my classrooms, and this girl is doing binomials.
(x^2 – 2x – 15)
Okay, so we know the answer is (x+3) (x-5), but this girl had the signs mixed up for many of her answers, and she was rewriting them on her homework. Plus for minus, and minus for plus. [...]
And then?
Filed in All in a Day's Work, The Day Events, , 6:45 pmSo I was walking around tutoring again, and I pass by this kid I’ve known since last year, who likes to talk to me sometimes, or hail me down for a question that he might not actually need the answer to.
Kid: Want to hear a joke?
Me: Sure!
Kid: (to Kid 2 across the table) Hey I’m [...]
i lose myself sometimes
Filed in All in a Day's Work, The Day Events, November 5, 2008, 3:20 pmIn a 9th grade class, I notice one girl has a big book for Bronte books.
Me: Hey, what is that book?
Girl: Oh, I’m reading it for silent reading time.
Me: <grabbing the book and leafing through it> man…it’s huge!…….That’s what shhh….<gasp>
Boy: (that I’ve taught since his 8th grade last year): That’s what SHE said…!
Me: @_@….<pretending not [...]
no thanks
Filed in All in a Day's Work, October 28, 2008, 4:43 pmAt a middle school today:
Boy: Hey, smell my cheek
Me: …@_@…uh…no thanks!
Boy: Just smell my cheek! It smells like cologne!
Me: ^_^… <walks away>
To be fair, another boy had been spraying cologne, and this boy must have gotten some on his finger…and then smeared it on his face…and he might have been honestly wanting me to smell [...]
Subject matters clash!
Filed in All in a Day's Work, September 30, 2008, 5:39 pmTeaching today and something stuck me. In fact, about 3 things strike me every day I teach, but I tend to forget them. This one I still remember because it is most recent.
Kid: Can you help us on this question?
Me: Sure! <reads it over. It is a word problem involving velocity, time it took, and [...]
Whelps
Filed in All in a Day's Work, Gaming, The Day Events, World of Warcraft, September 29, 2008, 10:02 amYou know how people say “well….” and then people say “wellps….” Well, I just realized how much “wellps” sounds like “whelps” and instantly thought of Onyxia. If there’s a place where you fear whelps the most, or being punted into the whelp room, it’s Onyxia. Though it was pretty frightening doing UBRS the first few [...]
