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 →

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 →

(featured image is from jinnart.deviantart.com and has nothing to do with this post, but I just thought it was super, super amazing) When I was reading and writing all the time? For fun? Yeah, those days seem long ago. First day of Spring Break and I’m pulling out the grading. Le Sigh. It is what it is. … Continue reading →

Mere Days to Spring Break

And in truth, I’m hanging on by a thread. It’s always a little nuts around this time (end of third quarter, grading and getting work done), but it’s more so this year for me. I’m stage manager for the Spring production of Evita. Yes. A high school production of Evita, and believe it or not, … Continue reading →

Summer is never long enough

Posted on August 14, 2012 by ecn • Leave a comment

At least, at this moment, I’m definitely feeling like summer just decided to be shorter than it was when I was a kid. I could have used an extra month. It took half the summer (probably more) to recover from my first year of teaching. When you’re in the actual school year, teaching and grading, … Continue reading →
