Ugh...Grading....

So, it's been a while since I've posted. I really don't have much to say that you don't already know, but I feel like sharing. And, I feel like procrastinating. I don't want to grade papers, which is crazy, since I took the day off to do it and I've yet to look at one. Oh well. I digress.

Tomorrow is my first true professional development day at Cactus Shadows, and it looks about as boring as all of the others I've been to. First, I'm in a department meeting for 3 hours to talk about honors class, which I will never teach. I'm going to grade and I don't care what they say.
Then, in the afternoon, I'm supposed to go to a meeting to learn about something. Oh...how thrilling.

So, I'm officially behind. I have about 300 papers to grade this week, and I don't want to even look at them. I feel so lethargic. I think my allergies are worse here, seriously. Who would have thought in the desert, but they're bad. I also think that my asthma is getting worse. This morning I could barely catch my breath. It sucks. I'm going to have to go to the doctor, but it'll have to be when I get paid.

And...I have to officially become a member of the state of Arizona. Ugh. I hate it. I have to get my plates and a new drivers license that won't expire for 50 years. For real. (I'm pretty sure it's 50 years, it's crazy.) I'll be 74. You think my appearance might change? Whatever. It's going to cost a shit ton of money and we need Brandon's GI Bill in order to pay for it, which you never know when it's coming, but I need it by the 30th. How cool is that. Anyway, life is crazy here. I keep finding bugs in my apartment and I'm having it sprayed on Tuesday. Oh...the joy of the desert.

You should move to Denver, live with us, and take the new English position that's going to be opening up when I cut my wrists and eat a can of toilet cleanser because my meds are not working right now.

I am still laughing about your ID lasting until you're 74. You may look different...I dunno...get back to me in 50 years...
