Attention: JHU Office Medical Director:

As a recently new patient, I am highly disappointed with the conversation I had with Dr. McGee today. Early in the day I spoke with a receptionist about leaving a message for a doctor regarding a prescription I failed to transfer from my college’s health center and have now run out of. The receptionist advised me that doctors do not give out prescriptions over the phone – completely understandable, so I asked...

So I haven't blogged in a while, but I'm a little perturbed about my favorite topic - WORK.

So I just got a call from our administrator on duty (note its 6:49pm) telling me that they want me to participate in an investigation of sexual harassment of about ten 7th grade girls, by a boy who will probably become transgendered. He is EXTREMELY feminine and even wants to be called by a girls name. So obviously, this kid is very confused - but he has been poking his female friends in the...

What the fuck do I want to do with my life?

I've been a teacher for 5 years now - and am getting my ass kicked this school year. I think I want to go back to teaching eventally, but I need a break. I need to survive the rest of this school year and then maybe work part time in an emotional disturbed unit or at a lock down unit. I just need time to breathe. Figure out if I want to go back to college, and for what, or if i'm just using it as an escape from work. 5 months left a work......

So i'm sitting at work, with my students, in the computer lab all day. They have to take a post test - I have to survive. I am listening to music on youtube... Some one told me about the song, Little Wonders by Rob Thomas, and it puts my soul at peace. These 2 lyrics just really soothe me.

let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don’t you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you

So if you are a parent of a tween or teenager, can you read their language???
As a middle school teacher, I had to learn it - and ohh the things they are saying!



Can you decode this?

So it's Christmas 2007. Presents were good, food was good, things are generally good.

I often wonder what people want to hear about when I blog. I mean I wouldn't really want to read a blog about how great Christmas was, I'd want to hear about the drama. I wouldn't want to hear about how great someone's relationship is and how happy they are - I want the dirt, the gossip, the drama. Failures, stress, anger, and lies. For some reason that is what I crave in a blog or even in a post....

Day 4 – Happy
Describe an extremely happy time or partial time in your life:
Sadly, thinking back over my life, there hasn’t been a time where everything has been balanced. I loved grad school because the people I worked with and went to class with were amazing and we had fun all day and all night long – but my life at home was crazy. Undergrad was great the years I lived with Neah, but God damn did the University fucked me and make my life miserable by ending my major. But...
