Updates from the frontline

So, L started her teaching credential program yesterday. Apparently they made the students sit in assigned seats in alphabetical order. When I say students I of course mean L and her cohort. What kind of school is this? Learn by example? Their first assignment was to print out the school's handbook, hole punch it, and, as a group, decide how to divide it with those page dividers they made you buy in junior high. How excellent. To top it off it had to be placed in a 3-ring binder. I told L she should go out and get a name-brand trapperkeeper (an expense I know), and to write "school sucks" on it. That way when they came by to ask about it she could tell them that treating adults like children brings childish responses. The good news is that they're headed down to get their 30-day credentials on Thursday at the SDCOE, which should hopefully alleviate some of the income issues that come with yet more graduate school.

As for myself, I've gotten a couple of more sub days next month over on the island, and I'm using this week of relative inactivity to get ahead. Now, getting ahead in my mind is split between trying to get work in the much larger SD school district, as well as watching Jericho on the internet. I'm mostly done with the TV series. The internet.... what won't they think of next.

Edited: How could I forget. Tia's theme of the week is money and finance. A good friend that Tia.
