Thursday, June 29th, 2006The girls that I’m responsible for are very American, very upper-middle class, and very blonde. While my primary concern when I accepted my job here was to coach lacrosse, and not to supervise a group of teenage girls, I’ve finally gotten to know them. Although I’m sure that at home they are advised to [...]
Ain’t no mountain biker
Tuesday, June 27th, 2006This week’s weather conditions have been less than ideal. It hasn’t stopped raining for the last four days.
Actually, that’s a lie. Occasionally, and lasting for less than three minutes, the black storm clouds will grab lunch and the sun will make a small and extremely hot appearance to hold down the sky. You know how [...]
More than I figured
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006 I am alive and I am well. I will say that I completely underestimated this job. I continue to think of things to write about, and continue to write about them, but having to share five computers with 500 staff has not allowed for generous online time.

Friday, June 9th, 2006I’m leaving late tomorrow night (early Sunday morning?) for the rest of the summer. Even though the reality of moving to another state (and far, far away from the city) to pursue a job hasn’t quite hit me yet, there are so many questions running through my head that I’m almost positive I won’t get [...]

Perhaps they’re busy, or perhaps this is just an uninteresting time of year. Winter has yet to end up here, and I haven’t seen the sun since my last post (weeks ago).
I’ve [...]
Small Career
Friday, February 17th, 2006Nothing, nothing, that I could say would fully describe how it feels to be called coach.
Back to High School
Tuesday, February 7th, 2006 I can’t help feeling old when kids at the high school where I’ve been student teaching come up to me and ask, “Hey, are you the new teacher?” I’m not supposed to look like a teacher yet! I’m still one of you!
But other than that, it’s been nice. The kids have been respectful, and [...]
How to work at a trendy but ridiculously overpriced retail store at which you can’t afford the clothing but have to buy it anyway
Monday, December 19th, 2005+ Buy an outfit to serve as your uniform. If female, this should consist of a shirt, a cami to wear under the shirt, a second shirt, a sweater, and jeans that look like they just spent a year in a cement truck. If male, this should consist of [...]
