Reflections on Being a Student Again

Posted on July 2, 2019 by ecn • Leave a comment

I’m about halfway through (maybe a bit more) my online class and though it’s not the first class I’ve taken online, it’s definitely the most academic one since finishing my degrees. And I’ve learned some interesting things about myself. I am an overachiever. I was not when I was in high school, college, not even … Continue reading →

When Did My Summer Fill Up?

Posted on June 8, 2019 by ecn • Leave a comment

It’s been over two months since I posted last. For awhile I did well being weekly on posting, but then the last two months of school happened. Everything goes into hyperdrive and now that it’s over, maybe I can get back to this. Because the summer is chill time, right? What did I do to … Continue reading →

What is the point of prom?

Posted on April 8, 2019 by ecn • Leave a comment

We just had ours this past Friday and I love seeing my students all dressed up in their finery, but I often think…what is the point of prom? Movies and American society lead one to believe that prom is a pivotal part of the high school experience. Things happen on prom night; both good and … Continue reading →

So I Wanted To Post Today

And although I have six different post ideas in my drafts, all of them seem to require way too much introspection for me at this moment. I’m recovering from Spring musical weekend at the school I teach at, and although I went to bed so very early last night, I woke up at 1 am, … Continue reading →

Waiting and working

Posted on July 28, 2018 by ecn • 2 Comments

(the photo is just because I haven’t used a lot of my Universal Studios pictures yet)   I’ve finished redoing Phase, so that now it is in the hands of several reader/writer friends to make sure I haven’t lost anything important with the changes. I hope to get feedback next week, so August will come … Continue reading →

Due to finding out what exactly I’m teaching next year, I’ve had to add some books to my list. Books already read are struck through. The Clockwork Scarab by Colleen Gleason (edit: finished after I wrote this post and scheduled it- woooo!) She Loves You (Yeah Yeah Yeah) by Ann Hood (ARC from NetGalley, available June 26, … Continue reading →

A Tale of Two Cities

Posted on May 1, 2014 by ecn • 1 Comment

The first time I read this was in ninth grade and most of it was covered while in class (I don’t believe we read a lot at home). I remember it being difficult and it taking a really long time, so long that we had to rush through reading Romeo & Juliet to end the school year. … Continue reading →

Hello Spring!

Posted on April 22, 2014 by ecn • 1 Comment

I’m not even going to look at the date of my last entry. It’ll be too depressing. So, ahem…Hello? Winter and Spring in the world of teaching always, ALWAYS seems to be beyond stressful and time-consuming. Being a new teacher to the school make this even more true. That’s my apology and excuse for lack … Continue reading →

Don’t you just love the beginning of school?

I mean, that’s the reason I’m basically MIA. Sorry about that. It’s FRIDAY!! Can you believe it? I know it was a short week, but I’m so grateful it’s over. It just seemed long. No offense to the students or my colleagues. I just need a break. Last night I got really mature and bought … Continue reading →
