How I did it
How to finish the teacher insight essays sigh
It took me
2 months
It made me
glad

How I did it: Um, apparently there weren't any essays, only a lot of questions about your ideas of teaching, teaching philosophies, etc. It didn't really take two months, well, it took me two months to get around to doing it.  The actual survey itself takes 45 minutes max, the questions are even timed.So I feel silly for waiting so long now. Read how I did it…

How to urgently need to find a great way to chart the articles I have due and their deadlines
It took me
2 weeks
It made me
feel organized

How I did it: found something simple and easy there's an option in a dropdown menu that lets you automatically "add this to task list" so that I don't have to enter anything, it puts the sub line on there for me. then it's super easy to just add a few details Read how I did it…

travel (read all 2 entries…)
alright 1 week ago

So I haven’t done any traveling yet, beyond Sugar Land. But! I’ve thought about places I’d like to go, and entered places on 43 places. It’s not terribly specific yet, as more research needs to be done, but it’s a start.

read the backlog, reread
aha 3 weeks ago

I somehow just realized that I haven’t been reading lately, and that may be adding to my going nuts a bit, or at least it could help that nuttiness. Reading for me has usually been the best escape, with sleep as an adequate substitute I suppose, nightmares I haven’t mastered and all that. And in escape or at least repose the body and mind recovers itself, so I’ve been told. Everyone needs some rest once in a while…

Not feel ugly (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 3 weeks ago

I cut my hair. I like it shorter, I like feeling air brush across the back of my neck. I like that it only takes me about a minute to mess with my hair and then it actually looks okay.

I guess this one might sound silly, not feel ugly because of hair, but hair has been one of the banes of my existence for about as long as I can remember. Curly, lots of tangles, lots of frizz, nothing to do with it but put it in a ponytail or bun. Stress headaches.

When she cut the braid off it literally felt like I had lost pounds from my head, like the albatross falling off my neck or something, to be dramatic.

Let’s just say, this is related because I think I might actually, well, be closer to liking my hair now, like, hey, here’s one aspect of my appearance I can get behind. Ha…
