Two Weeks Can Really Go By Quickly

I’ve been back in the classroom for two weeks and I’m still alive. I am pleased.

Teaching last year was horrific. I felt more like a warden at Alcatraz than a teacher. I still wonder if I managed to teach ANYTHING!  Oh wait, there were those handful of students who told me “gee, I really liked [...]

One week down, a few more dozen to go…

I haven’t counted how many weeks until this new school year is over. Why bother?

I will say, though, I’m having a much better experience. Last  year at this time, I was wailing like a baby. Misery was my middle name. This year, I actually have a lot of likable students. Maybe it’s the age. They’re [...]

Any Teachers Out There?

Just a Wee Bit Frustrated

The very last thing I tried to do kinda capped off my day. I’ve been wanting to change the header on this site. So I found the info regarding the header, i.e. size., went into Gimp and proceeded to draw over the copy I made of the header file. I was feeling right proud of myself too. [...]

I’ll [...]

Adventures in Gimp

Granted, these are not high quality. They represent my first efforts in learning Gimp. I really like Gimp. I discovered that I really, really, like digital drawing. I hope to get better and better. A couple of these were tutorials that I took, like the one that looks like eggs in mid-air and the purplish [...]

So Far, So Good

Crossing my fingers with the newest upgrade of WP. Now didn’t I read somewhere that 2.9 is lurking on the horizon? I ain’t complaining, though, especially since this upgrade went rather smoothly – cause WP is free. The fact that so many work so hard to keep the program up and running, at no cost [...]

Oh, The Things We’ll Do For Free

If I was working as a Wordpress installer, I could have racked up some serious overtime pay, but as it is, doing this for myself, I’ve racked up mucho hours and bloodshot eyes.

I hate NOT knowing how to work situations that affect me directly. (I’m sitting here trying to remember if I’ve ever put in [...]
