How To Make A Hoodie For A Costume

Punctuation (and the strike and the trivialization of course) kill me

When I arrived, there were four before the door. After it is entered in the room, they became five. Then six. A workforce of around twenty-five. I just made glup.

I tried to block the door with a chair to keep it open and potential new entrants do not expect silly in the hallway (by the way: damn, what that they are heavy, these doors! I have a lot of dog in the open!). I turned to look at my large workforce, who watched my efforts seem to say "eh beh, she has hope, that one!".

"You had over this morning? You know if your friends are going to come?
- Ben, in fact, the building was blocked this morning, so many people have gone home ...
- Ah. We'll wait ten minutes and then we see. "

I can tell you that I really emmerdée: for years, in such situations, the side" pupil "of the office, I still fervently hope that the teacher decides that was not enough to make progress and the minutes waiting to see if others were going came in Deep Thoughts gender strategy: "If you look at him with pleading eyes, is what it will all be let go? At the same time, he sees this as an encouragement to make progress, we will look for ... " It ended inevitably in the eyes of the wave to avoid eye contact with the teacher, waiting impatiently to take a decision.

Exactly the same eyes as vague as those of my students this afternoon.

Except that this time, I am no longer a student, but teacher, so it's up to me. And then I understand why my teachers put so much time to do it, so that they, like us, had only one desire, to return home: it is considering the idea and all of a sudden we think of the planning, delayed we will take them to Interros we must stick to the fact that this course it will not count ...

It widens also the recesses of the brain in search of what they had planned to do the week after, we say: "But damn, this course, I prepared a while ago! I even seen this morning to meet my good photocopies for breeding! What was that again?! " Then it has a flash and it refrains with difficulty from dropping a "shit", because of the schedule during the next week is already loaded, then combine two courses into a ... If only I had not known what to make them work, but now I'm starting to get used to the format in two hours, so I expected more than enough ...

Then we go to considerations more pressing: "Come on, I make them part of grammar and I loose, I will send a topo-mail to their friends, so I could still ask the above. Finally, when I have sufficient staff to it has a sense of bonding a Interro ... At the same time, if I plan to send a topo, is what it is I really do their part grammar? Especially since the discussion on Articles can not pass by mail. It is rather these that I should do today. But they are only six, however, it does not make much sense to do so with only one fifth of the workforce. it is still the main topic of the course. If I do not do as much to cancel everything. Yes, but they are still six is too much to simply cancel the course. And at the same time, it is not enough to behave as if nothing had happened ... "

In the end, I opted for only the grammar, telling me that I could always tweak to group Writing both sides next week. So I dropped after only one hour, after answering their questions, and I spent the whole way home wondering if I made the right choice.

In my opinion, there was none. The problem was elsewhere, higher I had not thought for one second that they can be as little. I had not anticipated this event and I found myself without a fallback. With a little imagination, I could probably improvise something more appropriate, but there I was stuck in an emergency, before the fatal question: reading or not reading?

It seems that there is a new mobilization next week, again on Thursday so I have a week to be creative ...

Clothes Washer Making Loud Screeching Noise

Thanks guys!

Why is the day:

1) you're not especially mood joyful
2) plus you're tired
3) you had to put a good kick in the ass to motivate you to go over before
4) you were coming in advance to sign your return express service
5 ) but you can not remember where was the office where you had to do
6) and the secretariat was unusually closed for two days that

service reprographics:

1) does not understand the meaning of the phrase "not stapled"
2) do not ask why, among your leaves, there are duplex and other front simple (note subtle difference)
3) has not been challenged by the fact that on one of them, he wrote "Test # 1" on another "Victor Hugo: Top view of Notre Dame ", a third a section of Le Figaro and the rest of grammar exercises, and the incredible heterogeneity of topics that included

which gives as result:

1) text Hugo for my TD Literature behind the Figaro article for my TD Writing
2) my test to be done in fifteen minutes at the beginning of the hour, before being picked up behind the first part of the exercises planned for remainder of the meeting
3) the second part of the exercises has simply disappeared somewhere in intergalactic space
4) I spent half an hour to manually remove all staples of thirty leaf packs (thank God, I nail a little long right now).

Since:

1) it is too late to send in any reproduction
2) anyway, secretaries by which I do not go there

guess who is going to take its time and finances increasingly scarce (doctoral contract still not signed due to head off disease: they already owe me two months salary, I fear this will increase to three) to make photocopies (no, I did not card either) to get everything ready tomorrow ...?

Thanks guys!

WHO said teacher was better student?!

"Because of a social movement, the traffic is very upset over the whole network RATP"

Front:
"Oh, it was frankly the air galley! I'd rather stay home to work on my master! "

After: " Oh God's name, it'll still be the cross and the banner to go to work and, in addition, it must that I am! I'm the teacher, now! "

Destruktor has finally hit prime

I did not think we could honestly do worse than my day yesterday: in fact, though.

past two weeks, the apartment next door is being redone from the ground up by its new owners. I do not know what they have in mind, but the workers scrape and tap on walls to make me deaf. I will not complain too much (you have to do their job), but finally, I'm still not very reassuring either for my own part of the wall.

I was right: today, when I returned from the kitchen after having lunch, I discovered a beautiful hole in my wall and they have not crossed, but I was well bouzillé the wall and paint brand new.

Furax, I go out, I knock on the door. No answer. I get home, I mean move the other side, I pull, I retyping, this time the guy is caught, he is obliged to open the door. I yell, I mug, I'm entering my home to show him my wall. The guy is obviously very upset, but when I look at him questioningly, he stammered: "I ... sorry ... not speak French ... "I would add: not English either. He has a terrible accent, I do not understand, he does not understand anything either, I wonder if it is not Albanian, I should try the Italian. It seems to have understood that his boss would be on site Monday. Owl. Will not be disappointed with her earlier this week that one.

MAIF I call on "I have a hole in my wall, damn !!!!", they tell me I'm not covered, but, anyway, that my landlord's insurer to examine it. I call the real estate agency. Nobody answers. They are two blocks, so I'm moving: they are there, of course, and give me the phone number of my Owners. Which appear very nice and absolutely sorry for me.

As I noted the number of the agency who sold the flat '(thank you, signs proudly announcing "sold by ...!"), they say they will call. Then it reminded me that, ten minutes later: "They do not respond, but they live right next to the building, maybe you could go to have? "I go: of course there is. I explain the situation in gurgling, demand details of new owners, the girl decides to come and see. I realize that I go up much faster that my four-storey unhappy smoker, I nearly killed. "Ah yes, it is badly messed up! And it's stupid, the paint is brand new ...! "Nooooon you think?

She says she calls me to give me the coordinates, comes down, eventually leave me a message on my laptop (but I do not think WHY NOT to remove the silent mode of my phone out of the piano? "I missed an opportunity to lobby directly on a real estate agent to have a phone number!), where she said she can not and that the contact person is already a party weekend, but here's Issue call Monday morning and so on and so blah.

Owl.

Let the bright side: there is no insulation breakdown, as they have not crossed, which is significant, given that 1) I just cracked and put the heating; 2) they cool while working upstairs windows open.

Now, damn, they took me NIQUE MY PAINTINGS !!!!!

I'm considering retraining as a specialist in photographing witnesses rotten to the mobile phone.

Throat Hurts Deeper Than Glands

during

"So then, then? They are how your students? Bossent they good? They are nice ? "

Well, kind, I do not know, anyway this is not what I asked (well, rest assured, they are far from bad), but smart, no doubt, they are.

I do not know if I am caught in the act of prejudice khâgnesque or if I was influenced by the apocalyptic paintings that I had made ("They are a slip-on! They yell from the bottom Class: "stronger!" They come, they come out they do not care! And they know nothing is sad! "), but I was really pleasantly surprised by these early contacts .

I had before me intelligent people, interested, participating (who participates! Do you realize? "I raised fears by asking me what I would do if I found myself before an amorphous group!) And Above all, just as good as Hypokhâgne who preferred preparation in college. The first years of college, it's far from "garbage No. 1" (I quote here what the father of a high school friend, and teacher Normale linguistics at the university, he had released about The chain, which I had chosen).

I'm really happy, because I must confess that I have always said, namely that it is not because we are in college that is less good or less intelligent, I said far more by conviction than by actual experience. Now I have it and it is frankly unsatisfactory.

For the rest, from my point of view, it went really well. Maybe I was a bit too relaxed for today's lesson: at the same time, I had just spent two hours queuing to register for anything administratively ("Missing code step! I can not do anything, miss! And then, your paper, it does not prove at all that you have a contract with doctoral supervised work! ") and, when à 14h30, le désespoir et mon ventre archi vide m'ont vaincue par K.O. et que j'ai voulu aller m'acheter un sandwich à la cafétéria, je l'ai découverte fermée exceptionnellement (apparemment, des étudiants anti-réforme ont commis des dégradations dans l'enceinte de la fac) ; ajoutez à cela que mes étudiants n'étaient pas au courant que le cours commençait à 15h30 et non 15h et qu'on m'avait changé quinze fois de salle, si bien qu'il était impossible de savoir où j'avais cours, et vous comprendrez pourquoi je me suis défoulée (assez) injustement sur Grevisse.

Je note aussi que j'ai du mal à tenir deux heures (par contre, je suis impeccable 'about half past one) and that therefore I revise my courses: either add exercises to do, or I elaborated further on the contents of my preparation, but I must do something. TD quick to prepare "my eye!

Depression blogosphere

I do not know why, but often when I come across blogs devoted to ancient sites or similar associations, I am overcome with a terrible feeling depressed . However, I should rejoice that there are people on the web to ensure that there is this ancient culture, yet seen the sites in question, my reaction is often : Pfffffffff ...

Take this week after very interesting exchanges with David Monniaux on his blog and on mine, I fell through the site of "La Fabrique of history," the sociologist on they were invited on Thursday, Philippe Cibois . He looks interesting and I confess I have not had time to review its block on "how it is that nearly 20% of an age in which the Latin 5, we end up with three peeled and shaved into final "I also admit that I'm pretty skeptical of his" history paintings ", given that sociologist and not a historian: I have not read in detail, for example, his presentation of Roman citizenship as a "Social Contract" Rousseau, but finally, after reading The Craft of citizen in Rome by Claude Nicolet I think that this formula, despite all the denials of anachronism that surround it, is alive and well.

This is often the fault of the usual proponents of antiquity: "See how they like us! They are like us! So you must know for us to know ourselves!" Nothing is further from the truth and I always wonder why, instead, you do not show how they are different , because that's what's exciting: they seem to like us because we're rehashing the primary since they are our ancestors, but in reality they functioned and thought it just as different from us that the Bantu or the Amazonian Indians. Given that usually attracts more people easily by the difference and curiosity, as by resemblance and mimicry, it is surprising that that argument is not used.

At the same time, not that much, because often, what interested developers of antiquity and, therefore, what they highlight is the illusion of similarity. There is a clear need to say that our world is directly derived from the Greeks and Romans (I understand, it's quite reassuring) and the public generally knows very little or no work, among others, John Pierre Vernant and Pierre Vidal-Naquet. It must be said that even scientifically, they are quite the minority: many researchers continued to study "classical" in antiquity and it is true that it is quite difficult to explain to the Black Hunter college students (but with an extension of high school students would be possible): for cons, it seems to me that the work of John Scheid are so clear that it would be quite feasible show them how the religio Roman is far removed from what we call "religion."

's where I went on the blogroll site Cibois Philippe, who led me to the blog Antiques semper. I had already fallen over doing more general searches on the net is choupinou, titles are in Latin, messages not begin auete and χαίρετε, there are census TV programs of the week talking of antiquity (as large, because, well, Chateaubriand is a bit limited, I think, even if it can defend) and there is clearly also used by the person who holds it as a means of communication with his students and college students (?).

Besides the graphics, which is just as anachronistic as the previous site (the day the Antique world - including me, but I'm trying to make an effort - stop making sites as attractive as an article of Echos in comic sans ms, we have taken a big step), the contents of the site made me want to shoot myself in the head: what is it, be passionate about the ancient world? burrow in the dirt? watch religiously every passing epic films on TV ? We are in a conservation approach by a fatalistic withdrawal and not a dynamic research on antiquity is alive, it would be the show!

I have not peeled his own blogroll looking for interesting sites (already old reflex bibliographic searches), but it will come. Instead, I went to see the recommended reading: good, novels Odile Weulersse is nice, but when even children's literature and I can not imagine a kid surfing on this site, other thrillers are low-end Salambô appears nowhere ( Salambô , damn!) and the category "history" begins with ... Fustel de Coulanges: it smells like mothballs.

short, all that to say that if it is to preserve ancient in formalin, instead of showing how it can be exciting and alive in some ways, today, we can really not surprising that so few young people who continue Latin and / or Greek, who continue to be interested or who are sincerely convinced that this will give them something in life. Even me, if it's presented like that, all of a sudden I feel like po ...
