I hate you Winter Springs Forensics
Oh, I remember that stuff… back in the day. Boxy, you’re making me feel old, and I’m really not old. Seriously.
The tournament is saturday. Its my first in a new event. Im kinda freakin out. AND ITS STILL NOT UP, and everyone is pissed
No one is asking questions anymore. Why is that?
I need an assistant. And I miss composing. I also miss the free resources that my last job provided, like photocopying, binding and postage that I now must once again pay for myself.
I miss waking up at 6…5 for tommorow 
Me too. I have to get up before 5 a.m.
What event?? My first L-D tournament I went 5-1 and came in third and beat this snotty boy from a private school who was always trying to get me alone in empty rooms and touched me way too much for my comfort. In fact, I wiped the floor with him. <happy sigh> Such a good memory.
Life is teh suck for me because I got to the third-round interview AGAIN and didn’t get the job. And for the third time in this job search, I was told that the reason was that I am too qualified for the position. Any job that’s even a half-step above what I’m applying for will require an advanced degree that I don’t have yet. And I hate my job so much that it hurts my spleen. <sad/mad/frustrated sigh>
Sorry to hear that. That whole “you’re too qualified” excuse is the biggest load of (sorryBarb) I’ve ever heard. The best I’ve ever heard was a college that told me “you’re probably the most talented candidate we looked at” and STILL didn’t hire me. Go figure!
Hang in there. If you’re making third round interviews something will bear fruit soon enough.
Not sure if this is the suck or not, but I’ve had about three students (in a class of eight) in my grad seminar drop. I wonder if they’ll still pay me if I lose all my students…
(Well, the drop deadline is Friday and that class doesn’t meet then, so I think everyone who was going to drop has by now.)
Congress. Good for you, LD has gotten somewhat insane now. You can’t do that well your first tournament, unless you a prodigy.
Oh dear… our add/drop is definitely over now, so hopefully you are as safe as our profs. I actually rather like very small seminars, though I have no idea if a music course lends itself to a group of 5-6 as well as social science classes do. Good luck!
The smallest grad class I had was 3 students. It was an awesome class.
(3 is also the lower enrollment limit for us, so yeah)
A grad analysis one does. Actually, a lot of them do. When you have just a few students you can sit around a piano and play through everyone’s homework and give more detailed critiques. I much prefer small classes.
Now, today I drove ALL the way to Baltimore for a meeting, ran a few minutes late because of the parking situation, used up one of my parking coupons and was done with the meeting within 15 minutes.
Took me two hours to get there and back. For a frakking fifteen minute meeting.
Thank the gods they’re reimbursing me for travel expenses!
I have no idea where to post this. I just need to get it out and no replies are necessary.
I am profoundly sad because a friend of mine, who I’ve known via internet for 9+ years but only met once, finally lost her battle to glioblastoma (brain tumor) today. 5+ years ago she was given only months to live. She was a pre-med student and pregnant at the time. She had just lost one of two babies she was carrying a few weeks prior. Then she began having seizures and the brain tumor was diagnosed. Today, that baby she was carrying at the time is an adorable dark-haired little girl named Saylor. Many, many very horrible things happened on top of her fighting for her life these past five years. Things you would be incredulous to hear. In any case, she was a beautiful woman inside and out. She leaves behind five children, ages 5 through 15, I think. I have no idea what will happen to those children now.
Stacey, I raise my glass to you, sweetie. You are a dear soul and I will miss you so very, very much.
That is heartbreaking news, Keara. I’m so sorry for your loss.
That is sad to hear.
I know you said no response is needed, but one seems necessary, Keara. It’s amazing how much we can grow to love people we haven’t actually, physically “met.” It’s a strange aspect of the age we live in, but not a bad one as it opens up so many more avenues for interaction than are available in the physical world, even if other avenues remain closed (or at least are harder to work towards opening, like through trips and meet-ups). My heart goes out to you on your loss and to Stacey’s family, who will have a gaping hole in their hearts for the rest of their lives which will define them, in a very real way, as long as they live.
Life is “teh suck” today because I’ve just spent 11 hours working on a Sunday. UGH!
Keara, my heart is with you. I hope that your fam can give you the hugs that we can’t physically send your way! If you find out anything about the kiddos and they are in need, please let us know here.
