whoa-an older guy on a bicycle just got hit by a car outside my window-seems ok, though-he got up and biked away after the guy in the car got out and made sure he was ok. this city is mad for bicycles; I 'lost' my helmet (I left it at some diner) so I am not a cyclist until I get a new one.

this. job. is. too. much. work. I found a note on my classroom floor that said just "fuck you desmond. fuck you too." desmond is not in my classes; my students would just openly yell 'fuck you, tiesha" "fuck you, too, eliezar." That is really more of their fashion.

I gave a test on friday, and maaayyybe 30 percent of all my students showed up for class. Apparently, no one has clued them in on the fact that you have to actually take the tests to pass the class. I can see how this school system might be failing our students a teeny tiny bit.

I did finally make it out last night to go drinking (thank god, seriously). I met up with alex (after I napped from 7pm-12) and ran into just about everyone I know from cincinnati except maybe nathan (but he's exiled in red hook or something, right?).


I really need a camera; my posts are boring without pictures.
