Gah...so tired of work!

Oh man,
I've been such a good student.
I worked all Saturday and Sunday and today.
I'm tired and I still have two paper assignments,
and sub training starts tomorrow!

Excited to have a life again,
starting to feel my stress level rising,
but so far everything is still clear.
I realize how fuzzy my head was the last two years at Tulane.
I seem to learn everything simply,
Things just organize themselves in my head.

For example,
this weekend before I met my partner
to discuss our Inquiry Lesson on cellular respiration
I reviewed cellular respiration.
I knew it all.
i knew all the details.
Learned it in five minutes!!!!!
I mean I nearly failed biochemistry and here I am memorizing this in five minutes and thinking its easy!

Ah, life in reflection.
How frustrating!

Went to the car dealership today
and they replaced my tag that they screwed up.
I felt like such a grown up.
The car guy was pretty cute,
he's a young guy,
a bit dopey actually,
but very sweet.
I need to learn how to make friends with random people.
New Rule.

Ok, I shall stop procrastinating.

So Here is Where I Stand

So, here's where I stand.
1. James bond Party tomorrow
- Vicki's sweet 16, I'm excited...mocktails, poker, assassin, formal wear and photos...it should be a pretty awesome house party! That is IF I can pull this off by tomorrow. I have been so swamped this week I haven't had a chance to do anything. In addition to basic party stuff like food, cake, drinks I'm also making "missions" for the kids to accomplish, and I need to come up with prizes. Also decorating! We have a casino area, bar area, living room with movies and sexy lady silhouettes and a mini photo studio!!! phew! Tomorrow is going to be a loong day!



2.Way too many assignments
- For my Teaching Biology course we have to come up with Inquiry based lessons...so I'm meeting with my classmate Sunday. Trying to figure out a simple way to explain cellular respiration. HA!
Just a recap for those who forgot about this lovely nonesense from bio.


- For the same course I have a presentation this week on an important scientist. Naturally I chose Stanley Prusiner, a prion researcher. I think prions are so fascinating, but I made this 10 times more difficult for myself by choosing an obscure topic that I have to explain.
-And my Teaching and Management Philosophy is also due next week. Luckily I did about half, but that still leaves me with some work to do!
- AND another random assignment for my adolescent learner course...gahh!!!
Everything is going so fast.




3. Substitute Training
- Yea, that's three days next week! Can't wait for 3 days of work, without pay when I'm swamped by assignments! Though now I'll be able to work. I am sure I can handle it all. I've done way more in the past. It's just I'm so relaxed now. Without going into details its like my body has recovered. I'm in tune with the moon so to speak (ladies get my drift). I sort of don't recognize my face without bags and I'm definitely getting to know myself better. Hopefully I can maintain what I've learned on sabatical.




4. Tutoring
-Took on a tutoring client. She's very sweet, I meet her twice a week, but I recently found out she may not be as forthcoming about her grades and problem areas as I initially thought. I'm almost wishing I hadn't taken her as a client. Especially this week, I'm feeling swamped.




5. Dating
- Not quite as busy like when I was seeing 3 guys at the same time this summer, but seeing someone. Don't know what I'm thinking. It's completely impractical. I know I don't have time for it this week. This is always my problem. No time, always thinking of whether it will work long term (which I know this wouldn't). I'm trying to break my own patterns, at least for fun's sake. I just don't know, don't know, don't know.

This is what I got when I googled fun...how silly!



But yea, so that's what's going on,
and I feel better.
Time to partaaayy!

I'm a Work in Progress.

Oooh it's been a long summer.
I wish I could say I haven't updated because I'm too busy working,
but alas, this is not the case.
I am unemployed,
not in med school,
and utterly miserable.

I was accepted into a med school in the Grand Cayman,
and decided that I had a bad feeling about it.
Now I'm home,
unemployed,
not in med school,
and utterly miserable.

Well I'm not utterly miserable.
I have a great family....clingy, but great.
And I'm starting to loosen up.
The things in my head are clearer.
I haven't been stress free in a long while.
It is taking some getting used to.
Though I think it is doing a world of good for me.

I'm dating, meeting new people,
and may actually be ready for a serious relationship.
I'm working on getting hired as a teacher.
Well I must get back to bumming around.
Tata!
