Santa Claus is coming to couch 68!!!!!

If its not too late count me in Mast.

I want to change my employment advisor as the one I'm seeing scares me slightly. She wants me to come in weekly and is always talking about how many job seekers she has found jobs for compared to other advisors. I feel like I''m being rushed and pushed. Also her smile is a bit scary. A bit fake or something I don't know. I would have preferred one of the male advisors but I thought I'd give a female ago. Its just no good I just can't stand working with other females.

Merry Xmas to you and your'n.

Hey Ike. Merry Xmas to you too. Hope you are doing ok.

Ike is your exchange student spending christmas with you?

Hello couch. I worked only from 10:30-4 but feel like I been through a war and back again

T texted me and said "Thank you for the beautiful card and ornament" so I guess it was acceptable. I text her back to tell her welcome and I'm glad she liked them and that she really did save my life. I also wanted to make sure we are on next Tuesday at 11. But she didn't answer that one yet. So.. I wait...

Anyhow, I'm tired.

Mast, I'm in your pocket.

Wiki...glad you took a day for you.

CC-What your D did was wrong. Don't blame you for not really speaking to her.

Sorry yous guys..all my energy is literally drained from my body. All of it.

See yous guys tomorrow.

She is. I think she is a little overwhelmed, but excited, very excited.

Oh Granite.. Glad T got back to you. So sorry you won't see her till after the new year.

Okay....that's all. Goodnight.

Hey Jersey Hows things?

Mast, I'm in. Luck.

D a m n it. Tomorrow morning is going to suck too. I just checked my schedule and I have to read an 8th grade science exam. I pull out the exam to look it over, so I won't be doing a cold read tomorrow and it is "insane". 250 questions. WTF?!?

How is a student with a learning disability supposed to do 250 questions in a 2 hour period (or any student for that matter)? When I looked what teacher she had, it explained it all. He is new to the school this year, but has over 20 years of college teaching experience. Guess he is still in the "college" mindset when writing exams, instead of middle school teenagers. Even gifted kids would have a hard time staying focused for 250 questions. Much harder than the 7th grade exam. This guy expects the kids to remember the formulas for chemical compounds and stuff like that. Now if it was things like salt or water, fine that is pretty simple to remember, but he has some weird s h i t on there, that I have no clue what the h e l l the answer is. At least the 7th grade I was able to answer all the questions in my head.

Tomorrow is not going to be fun. The rest of this week is going to suck. At least I will get a break tomorrow during lunch period though (it's the same class all week) since the kid finished his exam today. Then, at least I don't have to read in the afternoon. A teacher has to leave early, so I get to sit with his class as they take their exam. I hope that they are a well behaved class, so they don't try to talk and share answers.

I know I am complaining a lot lately. I am just really annoyed with things lately. I should be able to "snap out of it" once school is on break.

Wow.Squirrel 250 questions seems a bit extreme. Is there no one who oversees the setting of exams to see if they are appropriate?

Just went out for a smoke and the monsoon clouds are rolling in. Looks like we are in for a wet christmas.

I'm in Mast...
I also have a T appt tomorrow at 5 with XT, this will be interesting

Nope, teachers are just asked to use their best judgement on what they think will take about an hour and a half.

CC Good luck with your T appt. Glad you are seeing someone again.

Really, lola? Is this the latest ex t??

Well, I am off to read the long exam for real instead of just skimming it. Be back when I am done.

Is it 250 multiple choice or are there short answers in there as well?

Its raining! I love the sound of rain on the roof.

I'm in Mast.

Hope it goes well for you

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning." From my favorite movie. Anybody know?

BPA, when I was a little kid, we had a tin roof. Nothing like rain on a tin roof.

I cant stop thinking about this! The easter card pictures you posted here were so beautiful. People will probably buy shadow boxes from the craft store to keep them in, like a keepsake. But i get what you mean about commitment. Like ill show up every day, just dont ASK me to commit to it. Too many broken promises in the past, too many tricks.
