Not that I watched TV a lot, but I enjoyed watching Food Network and HLN or having it in the background.I've just started watching Master Chef Australia and have it on in the background while I grade and lesson plan.Is it any good? I'm quite partial to the Master Chef US judges...

There is a guy I knew in university that I constantly see posting on FB asking for someone to babysit his 2-3 month old baby, always for free. I don't know why it annoys me so much, it doesn't affect me at all, but the way he always adds on "No compensation" gets me.
The amount of effort that goes into the "I don't give a ****" attitude from some of these students is astounding. It would just be easier if they at least tried.

People seem to expect the rest of the world to drop everything when they need something.
Jeez. The more worrying thing is that he's looking for random friends to take care of an infant.

I wish I could leave my main school when I'm not needed to workout. I teach the same lesson 12 times a week, so I don't need to lesson plan that much. It's hard enough to discipline myself to workout, especially when I actually have motivation around 2 and have to wait until 5 when I'm tired.

My school has a track and pull up bars. Might feel weird getting sweaty in front of the kids, though...Otherwise, I little snack right before leaving work might get your energy up~

It's always a sullied t-shirt and crocs.I did, however, happen to see my first Korean goth girl at the last wedding I attending. An all black dress with white lace adorning the top that had a macabre feel to it. Black stockings with black combat boots. Long straight hair with deep, straight-cut bangs that was dyed hot-pink but black at the roots. She was also slightly tall with a super-thin frame that made her seem a little emaciated and enhanced the effect.I tend to avoid weddings, but the few I've been to, I haven't seen any slobby looking children. Maybe one or two, but they're certainly the exception. Usually kids seem like their parents dress them up, or at least try to.

Just received my first lowest-grade-possible student. Refused to say a word. I can normally coax an answer for a couple of questions so that I can justify giving this or that student a higher grade. But not this time. It's not his first offense, either -- he's not suffering from some kind of social disorder or anything. He just doesn't like English and wants everyone to feel it, and somehow a refusal to participate hurts us more than it does him?The amount of effort that goes into the "I don't give a ****" attitude from some of these students is astounding.
