mchally - 2008-10-01 8:41 PM I am already three pages behind-that's what happens when you push your challenge goals from 50% to 101% in one week-ouch. Now I am behind in school; bad Melissa! I need to contemplate my priorities I guess. Tonight I need to read about 50 very dry pages of botany. There aren't even color pictures.

Sounds like you and my husband could be friends...he was a horticulture major in college

Very neat-did he stay in the field?

He did landscape design for 5 years or so, but now he teaches environmental science to high school students.

Hopefully they manage to get at least a little bit dirty in class. I have always liked the interactive classes best.

I considered education, but one year I co-taught a really unique class and decided that I didn't want to commit to 9 months of teaching whatever comes your way. Not that I don't love kids, but sometimes you get a class that seems to have all the really challenging students in it. The whole class missed out on a ton because so much time was spent working with students who were struggling-and acting out because of it.

I suppose that I could have mentioned that the students were in kindergarten.

I loved all the kids, but it was too stressful for me.

He does do some cool experiments and such with them, but they are freshmen so its kind of like kindergarten again as they figure out what high school is all about...He has an honors class of 8th graders that are his favorite kids, but his least favorite parents Of note he teaches in an inner city Chicago school so for many of his students there is not as much parental involvement as you would get in the Suburbs

enders_shadow - 2008-10-02 7:18 AM Morning, Teamies! I teach post-grad college students. Some days they act like kindergardeners. Will be heading out for a run this afternoon after work if all goes well! Happy Thursday!

Sooo true...I taught a class at Kaplan for a group of mostly Post-Bacs that was incredibly painful at times.

Which one did you teach? LSAT? GMAT? GRE?

MCAT

Ah. Forgot that one. Very cool!

I wish I could forget it What about you what do you teach?

I thought I sensed someone behind me last night...am glad I scared him away with my form on the treadmill

I'm a law prof - hence why the LSAT sprang to mind.

And probably why I don't feel weird using the word "hence" in everyday conversation...

hence is a great word-but I spend too much time in classic literature and historical fiction/nonfiction.

That's because we never get to see the outside and we get temperamental about it.

This outside place you speak of...is that the one with grass, and trees... I think I remember it My lab doesn't even have a window

I keep the blinds closed on both my windows

Trust me, on days like this, I don't want to look outside and realize I've got 6-7 more hours of florescent lighting and beige walls.  It would only depress me.

Wow, we must work in the same building. 

I have a window into the hallway as well.  So I get to look at the pretty beige walls in there as well.  I've got to get a picture of that.  I never realized how "office space" funny it is that I have a window into a hallway looking directly at a wall with nothing on it.

Greeting Ghosts!!!!
Anyone seen PacMan?

Glad to see some Nibbs.... (and some football rivals... BTW Bill.... you DID miss a decent game last Sat)

Excited about meeting some new challengers...

I may seem like a wuss (and maybe I am) b/c my goal for the month is only 18mi...

However, this outside and windows that are spoken of... well, I see it through a window on my way home... Unfortunately (though you may not think so) my only window looks into a weight room.  Yes, My office is in the middle of a building and has a window (????)

Well... I must go... on tap today....
Get to Dr (think I've got infection dragging me down, UGH!!! )
And then round around like crazy lady in prep's for a large Health Fair at our local Gov't Center in which I am in charge of....

Hopefully Sat... (before GameDay) my butt may actually get to that outside world for a run....

Later Ghoullies

That's rough.  I at least have a window, although my blinds are closed most of the time.
