Snake

So last night one of my students returned from the restroom and whispered to me that she believed there was a snake in the hallway. Naturally my first presumption was that I had finally assigned too much accounting work to the point that my students’ sanity had at last crumbled, but, no, there actually was a snake in the middle of the hallway right outside my classroom. A small harmless grass snake, yes, but I do not think this takes away from my heroism for removing the snake from the building at all. It has been quite the talk around campus ever since.

 

Meanwhile, the teaching is still going well and I really do enjoy it. My teaching philosophy is to always maintain a relaxed classroom atmosphere and to make the accounting process as painless as possible, while always being unnervingly optimistic about accounting and how enjoyable it is. For example, when a student complains that they can not find the $350 that is preventing them from balancing I exclaim “I know, it’s like a treasure hunt!”

 

I am probably the most annoying teacher ever, right?

at least you like your subject.

Oh yes, you’re the most annoying teacher ever. ^_^

not at all. annoying teachers are the ones who just don’t give a shit.

Hah, that’s the kind of thing that I would say! SOULFRIEND, I miss the hell out of you. Can we schedule an online chat sometime soon? (No privacy for phone conversations for me, I’m sad to say.)

I always loved the teachers that enjoyed their classes. Also, that is very heroic of you to remove a snake…even if it was the size of a worm!

Oh my gosh, this made me laugh out loud for real. I would have a crazy huge crush on you if you were my teacher and I would let you know by rolling my eyes. But also, saving them from a snake!? JESUS, you’re amazing!! ~I’ll be

ryn: I do want to get better. Though not all of the time. I want to want to get better. I don’t know. You are absolutely right, I know, I need to sort myself out.

April 29, 2009

except I do love Kira and John, but no you are right, it is a love they would be better without.

I don’t take solace in anything. My nights are hell.

April 29, 2009

and yeah you are obviously my hero for the snake. I don’t think I kill things more dangerous than rats.

A treasure hunt? Oh, I would hate you. Except I suppose you are a hero what with all that snake charming going on, so I guess that works in your favour.

ryn: Aye of course: though I only really listen to the ones who have shouted at me (with good reason) at some point in the past… you, Stillwaiting, cricket chirp, kashka, Roo Woo, couple of others. John and Kira have always shouted at me when I’m a twat, both of them. It’s alright, you’re not too harsh.

I’m not making excuses for myself, I know I have to sort it out. They put me on high doses because I thought I was dead and then everything clicked to what I suppose is reality but it was so – weird and calm and just me, I think I was so used to all the voices and people. It was so much of a shock, I don’t htink I really coped (and Kira all over me at the same time – it was such a massive shock)

April 30, 2009

I don’t know if I make any sense.

RYN: Privatized them. And if he leaves we’re screwed anyway because Mom doesn’t have a job, remember? And this has been an issue for years. It probably won’t go away. But. Yeah.

You sound like the *cutest* teacher ever.

you haven’t been online lately. 🙁 I’ve thought about calling you but am too tired.

RYN – WHY NOT!? No wonder you’re still a virgin. ; ) ~I’ll be

May 6, 2009

NICE …random snake though…lol

ryn: it’s easier for you, dude. heather was still willing to be “friends.”

RYN – I know, that’s why I’m constantly telling him to be careful. I think the way he feels about me is about the same as the way I felt (feel?) about NBG. It’s big stuff. I really think he’s serious. I think he thinks I’m The One. ~I’ll be

RYN: Luis and I broke up…I wrote about it in a previous entry. He told me he was dissapointed in me for not meeting my weight loss goals in time for summer (keep in mind I still lost 30 pounds in the last 5 months) and so I replied with “Well then…maybe I should focus on those goals and not on you” and it ended…he was a pore sport about it too…calling me all these names and such….cont

cont…Obviously very immature…back to matthew…yes I think if Matthew was the “player” type or whatever which I really dont think he is, he would have wanted to see me. He would have tried to sleep with me, he would have said “Okay lets do lunch” hoping it wouldnt be the last time. But he really didnt want to hurt me, so he left the choice up to me. ..I have a roomate who is having an affair..

…and I just realized she kind of went the whole “Im going to show you the best sex of your life so you will want to leave your wife” route…and well…He’s still married and seeing her on the side. She’s miserable but loves him. I told Matthew to call me when the papers are officially signed. He has a 2 year old daughter and when she grows up, if she ever found out, she’d probably loose…

May 15, 2009

…respect for her father…and I know that would kill him. I care a great deal for him…especially for someone I met a week ago. But I cant do that to a family…or myself.

What a brilliant idea. I love treasure hunts! I’m sure they all love you.

No. That’s my title.
