There will be a lot of horrible thoughts and moments of anger and frustration and craziness and paranoia and self-loathing and even a little randiness all working their way through my system over the next 3-4 weeks.
George is ALSO finishing up work for his masters degree courses in the next few weeks.
The Boring Things will be hopping in the next few weeks - but in the worst/best ways.
Let the floodgates open.
Let me lead the charge with tonight's worst thought:
I am awful. This paper that I'm writing is utter crap - I am spewing the "edu-bile" I know my instructor wanted to see and doing so while incorporating a few random, relevant-sounding quotes from the textbooks. I don't believe what I'm writing, nor do I ever plan to actually incorporate these ideas into my classroom. I know I've done this for 4.5 years of college course work, but since I'm doing it now, after three years of teaching and studying teaching, I just feel like it is even more soul-crushing and for each and every paper I write, which I find boring and impractical, a little piece of me dies inside.

On the bright side apparently Kiva.com thinks our blog is worth advertising on.
No can ever accuse you of NOT being over the top about things.
Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
