Re: Kudos To You!!

Congratulations bea!

Welcome to the loony bin. :solitary:

I subbed back when I was 19. I'll never forget my first day. It was in a special ed class in a middle school. There were three teachers for this class, and two of them were out. So the special ed class had two subs, me, and this old guy.

While the old guy is teaching (he got history, I wound up with science), I was standing over a child's shoulder helping him read. The old guy looks up, scowling. "Young man, sit down!"

Me being 19 and all, I did as the guy said. Only I sat down at the teacher's desk.

"Young man," he bellowed. "Is that where you normally sit?"

"Well sir," says I, "No it isn't because it's my first day here."

Well this morning in yoga, the yogini pointing me out for doing a perfect Warrior II! There's so much to think about in this pose - back leg straight, front knee bent but not to far, hands in the right position, posture in alignment, and I've found it trying for the last 13 years I've done yoga (I started roughly when I moved to college).

And today, the yoga instructor said "Look at this girl, she's doing a textbook perfect Warrior II!" I thought I was going to cry.

YES
Pffft. :rolleyes:

I did this very pose yesterday after my wife cleaned the wood floor.

Credits on the right, debits on the left, the bookkeeping is off by a penny so we have to do the job again, JK Lasser, Schedule C, Standard and Poor, payroll is due by Thursday, assets and liabilities, capital gains, the earned income tax credit (EITC), amortization schedules, why hasn't anyone made any more damn coffee after drinking the last cup, favorable variance, first in first out (FIFO), individual retirement account, liquid assets ("cash" is just too simple a term), overhead application rate, recapitalization, Security and Exchange Commission, taxable municipal bonds, and April 15.

Re: Kudos To You!!

I bought a new mic today. This one, with a shock mount:

This beauty retails at $249.99. Guitar Center is having a microphone sale right now, so it was marked down to $179.99. Our particular Guitar Center for some reason had it marked down to $99.99. I had two $25 gift certificates from my in-laws.

I just bought a brand new $250 condenser microphone and shock mount for $50. :slick:

Only trouble is being the first of my friends to finish, everyone else has exams or coursework until the 10th of May so I kinda don't know what to do with myself.

I guess if someone has to preside over terrible, horrible, anti-freedom regulations that are ruining America, it might as well be an awesome person like you!
This is a selected line from the letter of recommendation Logan wrote me (before extracting this passage):

I would be extremely pleased to collaborate with Alison on any future projects, and in my opinion she would be a great asset to any professional organization, even one such as yours dedicated to robbing honest, hard-working Americans of their freedoms. Alison is a committed advocate of government meddling, however, so I'm sure she will fit right in.

Re: Kudos To You!!

Thank you for the kind words. I just try to be the kind of teacher I would want to have. I don't think of myself as an "English teacher," but rather something different everyday, whether it's a comedian, an art connoisseur, a historian, a scientist, a musician, or freaking James Joyce (yes, one day I dressed up as James Joyce and didn't break character once- even at lunch with my colleagues). I don't have a blast all the time, but I try to.

Julius Caesar[/quote] is taught in tenth grade (sophomore year).

How long have you been teaching? Favorite part? Least favorite part?

I blame this site. I've lost every game I played here as a civ, but I've learned so much from that. It taught me every "do" and "don't" of baddie hunting, I feel. Now, instead of trying to hunt every baddie at once and going for the ones making noise, I'm specializing at finding that one guy nobody is paying attention to.

Now I only need to stop being terrible at playing as a baddie.
