Random Harvester: Too Old for This...

Too Old for This. Man, I hate the days when I don't feel like an adult. I've been in a slump for a month or so and I didn't realize it till today. I feel like I did when I was a teenager: this overhanging sense of being a screw-up. Isn't that horrible? I'm in my 30's, in a great marriage, have a great kid. I'm a homeowner (and even landlady), pretty good at my job (except getting grades in on time - but who doesn't have issues with deadlines? I've just been in a funk here. What's weird is that it's just ...

Random Harvester: January 2010
http://randomharvester.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
I had forgetten how long it'd been since I read a book for fun. Even over the Christmas break, I don't remember managing to read anything (not counting Little Gorilla. And Oliver Finds His Way. Which I read repeatedly, but not for fun). I'd skimmed through Pride and Prejudice. In December but only because I was teaching it in class. (Oh, now I remember, the last book was Garden Spells. In October. Months ago. Sad.). Was delivered on or around January 9, but things kept getting in the way of my reading; t...

What I Like About Teaching. No, it's not the summer, because, in fact, it's only about a month and one is still expected to attend trainings and stuff. What I like about teaching is that it's an opportunity for infinite hope. Hope that I get the good kids. Hope that this year goes well. Hope that their parents don't object to the material. Hope that they pass this test. Hope that they understand what I'm trying to say. Hope that that one parent doesn't keep calling all year. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Random Harvester: September 2008

Getting in Touch With Nature. Except for the tiny vacay to San Marcos for three days, these were not a pleasant couple of weeks. The family home is still standing, minus only a few shingles, but, coastal mugginess plus two weeks sans electricity is no way to spend one's free time. At least there were the few days at my mom's: we brought bare necessities and survival tools: the laptop, the baby, Diet Coke, Pop-tarts (non-perishable! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Isn't that what the blog part is for?

Random Harvester: June 2010

I'm Such a Hippie. After watching the Lost series finale, one of the things that struck me (don't worry - no spoilers here), was that there were almost exclusively couples in the final scene. As I was in a pretty emotional state at that point, I was moved to think, "Man, love really is what it's all about.". Sure, my kids will be brilliant and successful (right? But how much more important is it for them to find someone who makes them happy than find a job that makes them rich! So if you're looking aroun...

I have things to write about and will do soon. And another one that I wrote down on the back of a receipt in my car while I was driving into the city for an appointment. I have time to think about them, but, apparently, not to write about them. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Isn't that what the blog part is for? To tell about me? View my complete profile.

Random Harvester: March 2009
http://randomharvester.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
I ran to Walmart yesterday with a list of things in mind to pick up. Frankie was working; it was just me and the boy. Stopping at Mas Amigos beforehand and walking into the store, I had already seen 5 or 6 current/former students, a Prancer mom, my Sunday school teacher from when I was 4 and random other familiar inhabitants of my small town. Glad to see you're being safe there, Troy," I cracked. Blushing but bold, Troy quipped, "Yep, you gotta think about these things.". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
