Well what another great day of proctoring I have ahead of me today! Lets see how many blog posts I can come up with this morning/afternoon. The past two days I have been spoiled. Only proctored in the morning for 3 hours. Double duty today. 9AM-12PM then 1PM-4PM. Thats a total of 6 hours. 6 hours to be eagle eye A. Rachel, 6 hours to facebook, blog, email, g chat, read, finish up a few grade sheets...maybe a silent skype session (you know who you are)....
Last night we were bored silly. After my power nap, uh 3 1/2 hours....Emma, Erin and I did not know what to do with ourselves. So here is how we spent the evening feeling like freshmen at DePaul again to be quite honest. Running around the dorm rooms acting like anything but 24, 25 and 26 year old young ladies.
-facebook stocked
-watched Catfish. If you have not seen this documentary. SEE it. It is a mind blower.
-Learned the "Sorry Sorry" dance. After we practiced we ran down to Brains room, asked sweetly for 3 ties. We then dressed in collared shirts, ties, black pants....and yes. Video taped our rendition of Sorry, Sorry by Super Junior. That will be up for your viewing as soon as the editing is complete.
- Dinner at the mall... while putting bets on if we would see the Russian gym boys. These are exchange students, from Russia, who are JACKED. I mean these 2 kids are huge. We saw them, of course, as we do every night getting their after gym snack. Got to get that protein boys!
- Looked at a website for what to do when you are bored.......-see who can hold the longest note, blink your eyes really fast then close them and see what kind of shapes and colors you see, try not to think about penguins.....we were desperate folks. stir crazy? cabin fever?
-We got an email saying we had to see Human Resourses ASAP in the morning about housing......so that was a good hour conversation guessing what they were trying to pull. We are pretty sure they are trying to kick us out of our 5th floor, double bed, 2 closet, balcony included room for a downgrade to the 3rd floor. Just when it was starting to feel like home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fast forward to this morning. I went down to the over priced cafe to get coffee and eggs, ham and toast. Well I got a surprise this morning with my breakfast. Right next to the small salad topped with "salad cream" which is just mayo squirted on 2 leaves of lettuce. To the right of my egg was well....a hot dog. Cooked and just thrown on my plate like jimmy's sausage links.... it was just your average hot dog wiener. I moved it aside cursing myself for not bringing my camera everywhere I go. Soo I skipped the hot dog and the salad creamed leaves....downed my americano and off to proctoring I went.
Here I sit..looking over the final...English 1 Academic....this same final I will be grading in 24 hours. I have 2 of my students in the room with me and all the other ones are in the room next door. I am sending them good grammar vibes....
11 hours total of proctoring left
4 hours of grading the finals
3 shots to get in my left arm so I stay disease free
The next three months of traveling.....priceless
