rue du bagel!

Not dead, just teaching. *g* I survived my first week, and will be posting more on my teaching filter once I'm a bit more organized (comment here if you want to be added to it!). I've been wavering between exhausted and overly emotional for good two-thirds of the time and sleeping for the rest. I've also been gradually moving into narnia_girl's and my new apartment, which is really nice - two floors, lots of space and light.

I had a dream last night that I was walking in France with my mom and we were looking for a bistro called Rue du Bagel to have breakfast in! *g* Along the way, we passed Rue du Cannes, which was a bakery with a lot of fancy cakes in the window. No, I don't know why I persisted giving street names to eateries. In any case, I felt sufficiently European this morning to have a double shot of espresso, but they didn't give me a demitasse (essential for pretending you're in Italy and do not have grading to do, I find), so I added milk and sugar to get a makeshift latte. *g*

Yay for surviving; I'd like to be on the filter!

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

Done! *grins*

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

[waves] good to 'see' you :)

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

Same here! *twirls you* How's things?

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Going okay. Getting ready for a trip to Philadelphia in a little over two weeks and currently, about to make yogurt, so need to start stirring the cooking milk!

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

Cool! Enjoy your yogurt!

Am I on this filter? If not, add me please. Will be doing teaching this year again myself and must have someone who understands my pain and the occasional over-emotional moment of sniffling pride when someone actually learns something.

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

You're added! What are you teaching? *grins*

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

I'm teaching uni undergrads, tutoring for two courses: one is general programme on ethical leadership/sustainable development, and the other is my own area "psychology, crime and criminal justice"

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

Ah, neat! I taught Film Studies year before last - this year it's middle school science, which is a just a wee bit different. *laughs*

[thehoyden.livejournal.com]

I'd like to be on the teaching filter! (as I start teaching next week - *gulp*)

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

Added! What are you going to be teaching? And, good luck!

[eveningblue.livejournal.com]

Ooh, please add me to your teaching filter so we can trade war stories.

Where are you teaching?

Congrats on the apartment--moving can be stressful but it's a chance to start over, which can be fun.

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

Added! I'm teaching all three grades of middle school science at a brand new pre-engineering magnet. 0_o

And thanks - it's good to be getting out of my parents' house again! (When I moved back from Vancouver, I moved in with them, and things can get tense at times.)

When do you start teaching?

[eveningblue.livejournal.com]

Classes start September 4, but this week and next are filled with orientations and other things I have to go in for.

[fanelia-angel.livejournal.com]

I would love to be on your filter.
*hugs* wish I got to see you more this summer, but eventually you and I will be in the same place at the same time for longer than just a summer :)

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

Added! *snuggles back* I've been terrible about getting together with people this summer, so I'm sorry about that. ^^ Good luck being back at school!

I'm not sure if I'm on the filter or not, but I'd love to be -- I taught a freshman physics lab this semester, and my most frequent thought was simply "how many idiots can one village support?"

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

Added! And, yeah, I taught a first-year Film Studies elective at UWO year before last, and very few of them were actually up to college-level work.

[raucousraven.livejournal.com]

Teaching filter ME ME ME!

...Mainly because seriously what a good idea and why didn't I think of that?! I could have vented so much more that way. Huh.

I am moving to Cali, btw. 's for School, norealleeee, and not just research on the Prof Coz AU :)

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

Yay, added!

What are you going to school in again? Ivan is peering at you warily, you know. She doesn't look like an innocent bystander...

[raucousraven.livejournal.com]

Er, uh. The Humanities? Languages, Cultural Studies, etc. I don't want to get too into it, as I have this horrible irrational fear of someone tracking me down like a rabbit across the internets. Professional megalomania, I guess? (Email me for details if you like :)

Sekrit Message to Ivan: Best not to stand too close, dear. Unless, of course, your bystanderness is all a clever act, and By is my sources are correct when he says they say you do look like your little cousin, in or around the responsibility.

[kestrelsan.livejournal.com]

Add me! :)

[the-acrobat.livejournal.com]

Me! Filter!

[amai.livejournal.com]

Can I be on the filter?

Oh and when will you be at the house so I can chat with you?

Thanks for helping out with the money fiacasco in China!
