I just got paid roughly $1/minute to help a fellow teacher figure out how to align her curriculum to the new Common Core Standards.

It took us less than an hour to work on her curriculum map and she paid me $50. It wasn’t even hard: she just wasn’t familiar enough with the standards to feel comfortable deciding what went where.

I would do this kind of thing for free, honestly. It’s not that hard, and it’s a good way to get a feel for the kinds of things other teachers are teaching, but my loans are coming due next month so, really, every little bit helps.

She said I should start doing this like a business. I’d like to, but I’m not sure how/where to advertise. I feel like the kinds of teachers who know how to use the internet and Craigslist and stuff are also the kinds of teachers who probably have a fairly good grasp on the new standards. Maybe I’ll just rely on word of mouth for a while.

I just remembered.

Once I overheard Jonathan telling a mutual friend that I was just the right height to tuck my head under his chin when we were hugging, and I can’t remember if the friend said anything (because honestly, what do you say to something like that?) but when I think about it, I get all warm and fuzzy.

I can’t tell if these are a different kind of tadpoles from the ones that are currently living in the pond in my backyard, but I love them anyway. We’ve already got some teeny-tiny toads swimming around.

just a reminder than tumblr gets face characters fired and if you keep going in this direction with the new Peter Pan face character you are all so suddenly obsessed with you’re going to make him lose his job

can you explain how that happens? 

people find out his real name and call him that at the park, therefore taking him out of character and ruining the magic for the younger kids

You know that whole saying about how the first crepe is for the dog?

I just made pancakes (yes, pancakes, not crepes) and my first pancake was glorious. The perfect shade of golden-brown, with a perfectly crispy outside and fluffy inside. It was a thing of perfection. My pancakes never turn out that well, okay?

And then every single one after it was a charred mess.

Pancakes are still pancakes even when they’ve got some dark spots on them, and I’m used to my sad pancakes at this point but…that one pancake….

That. One. Pancake.

Jonathan told me that he really wants to design a Dungeons and Dragons campaign based on the world of Graceling.

(If you haven’t read the book, go do it right now. You’ll thank me later.)

The players would all have Graces, randomly chosen from a list or something, and he said he’d probably have Katsa and King Leck and all these other people as bosses in the game and just… Unf.

If he actually goes through with it, I am going to have to change my availability at work because there’s no way in hell that I’ll be left out of that game.
