Nail Biter
Until about a year ago, I’ve been an avid nail biter. My nails were nothing less than grotesque — bloody, chewed to the bone, skin peeling off at odd angles. I’ve always been told, somewhat ironically, by my panicky mother that nail biting was a sign of serious anxiety. Unfortunately, part of me thinks that this was some sort of coping mechanism for me. The disappearance of my...

I TAUGHT MY FIRST LESSON TODAY.
I TAUGHT MY FIRST LESSON TODAY. I TAUGHT MY FIRST LESSON TODAY. I TAUGHT MY FIRST LESSON TODAY. I TAUGHT MY FIRST LESSON TODAY. I TAUGHT MY FIRST LESSON TODAY. Basically. Yes. I TAUGHT MY FIRST LESSON TODAY. …To a bunch of eighth graders who are about to take their writing SOLs on MONDAY. My clinical faculty member was complimenting me on a job well done, but I do know that I have so...

How old are your students?
They’re 8th graders, so around 13-14 years old. :) Middle schoolers are NOT as awful as you might think they are, I found.

Taught my first lesson today. Can't stop gushing.
These kids are awesome.
Down to the regular class kids who looked like they had no idea what in the hell I was saying.
I know a lot of them tried their hardest to keep up with my hyperactivity.
But they wore me the fuck out. With my first two bells, I couldn’t wait to get up to teach. This last one. Holy fuck.
I need to do something extra super special with them on Wednesday. For...

We thought my brother ran away...
…but he only climbed on the roof.
It’s a long story. And I’ll spare Tumblr from it. Made me feel not so alone though.

My brother has been having knee pain for MONTHS.
And yelled at him for wanting to go to the doctor.
I am SO ANGRY.
I don’t want him to go outside and bust his goddamn knee without going to the doctor first. Jesus christ.
I have a feeling this is about them wanting him to “become a man” by playing sports or some shit like that. They brought up our relatives who think he’s becoming “soft”.
Sure, I’ll...

haguenite asked: I just read your Stay Gold, Ponyboy post and just wanted to note that that teacher's methods may be the result of policies, politics and evaluations which you don't have complete access to. I don't know if you follow donnaignoble? She's had a rough time lately, but her posts have been a complete eye-opener about how teachers are treated and what's expected of them in some...
Stay gold, Ponyboy.
Now I know what my professor last semester was talking about when she placed her hand on my shoulder, looked me in the eye and said that phrase. Holy smokes, Batman! Look at those turn-ups! One of the 8th grade classrooms that I’m currently doing my practicum with has been reading “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton, a book that I have admittedly never read. I’ve been...

In Remembrance: Women Who Died From Illegal and Unsafe Abortions
The seven women below are just a small representation of the countless women who have died because they did not have access to safe and legal abortions. Most of these women died before Roe v. Wade offered them a safe alternative. However, women continue to die and suffer injury due to current restrictions that...

Brief Lessons on Scaffolding
“Someone’s been sleeping in my bed.” And here I hesitate, echoes of old jokes, soft-core cartoons, crude headlines, in my head. One day your mouth will curl at that line. A loss of interest, later, innocence. Innocence; as if it were a commodity. “And if I could,” my father wrote to me, huge as a bear himself, when I was younger, “I would dower you...

Holy fucking shit THESE PEOPLE GIVE ME SO MUCH...
Michan: When do you need to have the cash?
[mimiRAWRus]: by... march 9th?
[mimiRAWRus]: so ODU doesn't add like 50% of my tuition or something.
[mimiRAWRus]: it's really distressing.
[mimiRAWRus]: I had like $9 left over from last month because of a miscalculation and they were like "LET US CHARGE YOU $350."
[mimiRAWRus]: my parents are working SO hard for my tuition and I just don't know if we have the money for a blunder I made. :/ ugh.
Michan: How about an all day sitter for Saturday, March 3rd--from like 10am-midnight...for a total sum of $350.
Michan: :D
