[12 Nov 2009|01:57pm] [ mood | decompressing ] Today I taught my first real lesson in front of 26 rowdy kids with my advisor watching. Had an evaluation afterwards. He told me I did well, but the whole thing was really really intense. (My mentor teacher says she still feels that way during observations, even after 5+ years.) Been listening to Sloop John B. by the Beach Boys on repeat ever since I got home, it is a calming song. 1//I won't say it if you won't say it first

Re: The Last Entry [27 Sep 2009|01:02pm] So, the cookbook in question was Vegan Brunch by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, and the recipe was the basic pastry crust. The recipe says to use 1 1/4 cups margarine (yeah, I proabaly should have seen troube coming!) but you should really only use 1/4 cup. Oops! I was making the White Bean, Mushroom, and Leek Pie, and despite the crust being a tad greasy, the pie turned out well. The filling tastes awesome. So far, I've made that pie and the Cocoa Raspberry Muffins from the book, and they were both excellent; even my family (who generally abhor vegan food) liked them, especially the muffins. By the way, I picked up Vegan Brunch (along with the Doris Anthology!) at the Philly Zine Fest last week, from Wooden Shoe Books. The zine fest was a blast this year!

[26 Sep 2009|11:06pm] [ mood | angry ] So I am making a recipe from a new cookbook of mine right now... the crust didn't look right, but I rolled with it... then I google some shit to see what was up & come to find out that the recipe has a g.d. error in it. i am pissed as hell, and wasted a lot of an expensive ingredient. i hope it tastes okay. it looks funky. 2//I won't say it if you won't say it first

[21 Sep 2009|02:20am] philly zine fest was pretty awesome! bought a ton of zines and two books and came home having sold or traded every item i brought. nice. I won't say it if you won't say it first

[18 Sep 2009|12:22am] I got my field experience placement today! I'm so excited! It's a third grade classroom. The only thing I am nervous about is that we have to actually teach one lesson with the head of the ed department watching. I know I write awesome lessons and I can give awesome demo lessons to my classmates, but actually being in the classroom and teaching... I'm very nervous but excited about it!

[07 Sep 2009|01:52pm] So a lot of kids in Zach's class are taking soccer this year. I don't think a four year old needs to be on a soccer team, especially when registration is about $100. Yikes. 1//I won't say it if you won't say it first

[04 Sep 2009|08:46pm] [ music | Christmas Vacation - Descendents ] I stopped caring... long before you started to cry ...that has to be one of my favorite lines in a song ever. I won't say it if you won't say it first

feeling pithy [02 Sep 2009|11:25pm] Back to school for me and Zach today. Good times. Working on a zine, it's coming along very nicely, I'm very pleased. I won't say it if you won't say it first

[31 Aug 2009|09:31pm] Went on a job interview today, didn't get the job. Thinking about subbing. 2//I won't say it if you won't say it first

[02 Aug 2009|06:44pm] I did something kind of mean today. I find it a little bit funny actually, but I do feel bad. I won't say it if you won't say it first

Writer's Block: Birthday Shout-out [31 Jul 2009|08:27pm] Happy birthday, J.K. Rowling! Which of her seven Harry Potter novels do you think is the most satisfying read? View 509 Answers I love all seven Harry Potter books, but my favorites are the sixth and third. Tales of Beedle the Bard is pretty decent, too. I won't say it if you won't say it first

[04 Jul 2009|10:38pm] Been watching Roseanne a ton, which makes me laugh so much; and starting to exercise, which makes me feel good. Finished my website (for school) which I worked very hard on. http://edfolio.fdu.edu/simons/ I won't say it if you won't say it first

[29 Jun 2009|02:09am] I saw a poster at the movie theatre for the movie "Holmes" (as in Sherlock) and the first thing I thought was "They made a movie about Oliver Wendall Holmes?" I won't say it if you won't say it first

[16 Jun 2009|08:46pm] I went under my bed searching for a case to a now-overdue DVD from the library and my copy of What It Is by Lynda Barry. Sadly I did not find the book, but in addition to the DVD case (phew!) I found the following items: -A box set of The Godfather Trilogy -A creepy magazine with a close-up of Arnold Schwarzenegger on the cover -Two perfectly intact spiral notebooks (one green, one blue) -An ancient fucking sippy cup, no way am I gonna touch it -A mix CD a boy made for me in high school -Lots of unpopped popcorn kernals I remeber when I got the bed... maybe it was a year ago? A year and a half? I know Zach was maybe two because he was climbing on on all the beds in the store... anyhow, when I got the bed, I remember I was super embarrassed becase when they hauled out my old bed there were a TON of (unused!) condoms under it. Like, two dozen or more, and I just scopped them all up real quick before they came back in. I won't say it if you won't say it first

[11 Jun 2009|12:40am] it is so hard for me to do computer-based work. i get so easily distracted! sometimes i can't believe i'm still in school. people who graduated high school the year i did graduated college this year and i am still not done. i've got two more years. i'll have a b.a. and a m.a.t. when i'm done, but still. i'm tired. by the way, you should visit my website. i update it often so check on it! http://edfolio.fdu.edu/SimonS/ actually, it's pretty much nothing right now, but perhaps you'll like the name i came up with for my fake elementary school, and the names of the students in my fake class.
