Re: Off Topic 2014

Well guess i'll have my 1st real job soon.

Starting on Monday I go down to the 1st grade class down the hall and start teaching science/math since it's a Co-Teach class with 26 students and the other teacher does reading/writing. Will still come back and teach reading in my current class as i'll still be considered in my internship until the paperwork is done and processed so that could take a week or 2.

Once that process is done i'll move down to the new class permanently and be a long term sub until my transcripts come through after I graduate in Dec. then i'll be considered a temp. teacher through the rest of the year. Nice thing is the lady i'm coteaching with came from 5th grade and has no intentions of staying and it'll not be a co teach class next year so it could likely lead to a permanent 1st grade teaching job.

Was fighting with this decision for awhile because the lady i'll be teaching with isn't the most professional person ever and I love my current mentor teacher for my internship so I could have stayed there for another month to find another job. Which may have worked out cause now afterwards I found out the 3rd grade team here really wanted me to step in for a pregnant teacher and the part time PE teacher recommended me to her other school for an opening. But it's $$$, a foot in the door, and the person who I've learned more from in 3 months then any BS college class will be right across the hall

Speaking of teachers. I met a third grade teacher about a month ago and we have slowly been progressing towards a relationship. The fact that she is a teacher is the sexiest thing ever. Probably because I use to have a crush on a teacher just about every year I was in school. Also, I never call her by her first name. And is Ms. Woods to me.

I think I'm the only person in the world who still types "www" before the website address. Unless some of you still do it...

Re: Off Topic 2014

I do too, but usually I just Google and go from there or already have a bookmark.

I never type in www, but I do catch myself still typing http:// before sites at times.

Wow, I'm happy I lost this habit a while ago. I do, however, go to the google website to google stuff, instead of using the google search bar I have in my browser.

lol, I can't even remember if I ever regularly typed WWW before on a website address or not. I only typed the rest of the URL for so many years, even before it became common to not type WWW

So the guy I mentioned awhile back that graduated with me and is doing photography in Wisconsin was at the scene of a police standoff tonight. He snapped this picture:



His quote:

"A standoff scene was temporarily interrupted when this little guy came out of the house. Overheard on the scanner as I was taking this photo. 'It's either a large cat or a small dog.'"

Re: Off Topic 2014

I'm sure most people probably already know/remember this but....Time changes tonight. Clocks go back 1 hour.

Don't know if it's good or bad thing, but really, I could just go to sleep, time changes while I sleep, and I'd wake up the same time I normally do(so in this case,clocks go back 1 hour,that doesn't mean I'll wake up an hour earlier,I'd still wake up the usual time I always do on Sundays) and not notice a time change at all during the day lol.

It's a good thing, my backup alarm clock in the corner will finally tell correct time again

Re: Off Topic 2014

I enjoy going back an hour. Not so much in the spring.

The only thing to look forward to about that time change is that it means the sun is out later in the day. One of the reasons June-August is good too cause it can be like 8pm or something and still sunny. Winter is depressing when street lights are on at like 5pm.

You should move to Alaska. The sun is up pretty much all day in the summer.

Re: Off Topic 2014

I have an ipod playlist where some of the albums are much lower in volume than others. If I go to iTunes, select the albums and pick "get info" or whatever it's called, increase the volume on those albums, and then sync the ipod, will the volume changes work for the playlist or will I need to delete those albums from my playlist and re-add them?

Re: Off Topic 2014

Use MP3 gain(the free/portable edition). You can see the average DB of all your songs and adjust the ones that are too loud or soft to be the same as others.
