I’ve been sitting on this challenge a bit longer than normal for two reasons. First, between NaNoWriMo and trying to find work, my life has been pretty crazy. Secondly, I just didn’t know what to write about.
Fortunately, my students have come to my rescue once again.
A couple of years back, I taught for a science […]
I haven’t done such a great job keeping Reader under control this week. (It’s been insane around here. Or I’ve been insane…hard to keep it straight some days.)
As a result, there are quite a few links to share. Amazingly, though, there are more quotes to share.
There’s the link I’m holding to share with a fellow […]
It’s that time of the week again. Time to see what remnants are hiding out in Reader.
This week, it’s going to be a little weird because there are some posts being held onto as reminders. For example, the new version of OpenOffice came out this week. I’m holding on to one of the fifteen announcements […]
Amazingly, my Reader only has a couple of things in it. I sat down yesterday to find some blogging inspiration, and accidentally found myself with nearly nothing in the Reader.
I realize this is a good sign. It keeps me on top of things, minimizes the chances my cursor will slip over a devastating button (It […]
This site doesn’t show it all that much, but I’m a math teacher.
Believe me, it wasn’t exactly what I’d intended. I failed algebra in eighth grade, just barely squeaked by in geometry, and then aced trig, precalc, and calculus. I generally avoided math in college until I start my teacher prep program. See, when you […]
I used to have this idea that I was going to cobble together my own special business that drew on the vast majority of my talents. It was going to be this funky freelance thing.
I was even slowly working through doing my research and preparing to launch…and then I lost my free time. I took […]
I was pretty excited when I first heard about She’s Such a Geek. Essays written by women who have more than flirted with math, science, engineering, writing, and gaming? I was so there!
In fact, I highly recommend it to my students. It’s that good.
I’ve also started reading the main blog, occasionally following links to an […]
To my great surprise, I was just named Teacher of the Year for 2006 at work.
I’ve been giggling (and hiding behind my hand) and blushing and saying, “Oh my god,” for over half an hour now. I can’t help it. It really was unexpected.
And it came on the heels of the directors telling everyone else […]
First, I admitted to being a feminist. Now, I’m admitting to being a workaholic.
After being nicknamed for one of my favorite cartoon characters because I supposedly act almost exactly like him, I’;m willing to admit that he has more in common with me than I’m comfortable with.
This questionnaire is designed to help you determine if […]
Ever since I started trying to work for myself, I’ve tried to picture the ideal working space for myself. My office is one tiny corner of my room, simply because there isn’t anywhere else it can be at the moment. It’s little more than functional, but I can always listen to music or a movie. […]
