  1. It's come to my attention that I haven't tweeted in nearly two months. So here I am. Life is good; school is busy; grad school looking up.
  2. #tv #scifi #Firefly Just started watching Firefly, and after one episode, completely hooked! This is awesome! Who could have canceled this?
  3. #history #civilwar It is college football day, and all the Tigers and Tide are abuzz. And I'd rather go to a Civil War re-enactment.
  4. #moon #NASA Yeah, @the_eardstapa, if that guy (Bart Sibrel) came down here to Huntsville, he'd likely get a lot more than a punch.
  5. #school #teaching Grading papers, listening to what I would have been listening to when I was students' age: NES and SNES game music!
  6. #school #teaching I feel strangely anxious about grading papers. Unaccustomed to exerting such authority. But my students are adorable.
  7. #school #teaching Getting schooled in Microsoft Excel, thanks to @johnmaster208. Fixing my broken Veritas gradebook spreadsheet.
  8. #school #teaching Have vastly underestimated the prep work of teaching five hours a week. Or maybe I'm just an overachiever.
  9. #school #teaching Feel I'm running a marathon, preparing from week to week.
  10. Spent the loveliest evening throwing a birthday party to love on my dear friend Mistie, then chatting into the night with dear friend Josh.
  11. #school #teaching #Veritas First day of school an amazing success! I'm going to love this! Students are a joy, and a joy to teach!
  12. #gradschool #history At least UGA cares enough to spam me every day. It makes me valued and wanted.
  13. #video #music LOL, absolutely perfect. The Ballad of G.I. Joe. Destro FTW! http://tinyurl.com/mo7jj2
  14. #gradschool #history Biting the bullet and beginning the grad school application process.
  15. #TV Just LMAO at Big Bang Theory. (Rented Season 1.) Thanks for the rec, pretty much everybody who knows me.
  16. #gardening Egad! My diseased, tortured, bug-eaten pepper plant is bearing a pepper!
  17. Losing my mind over grade 7-8 U.S. history, having to come up with a curriculum from scratch when I've never taught a day in my life.
  18. #homeschool #history Desperately seeking an adequate U.S. history textbook, particularly for the post-Civil War era to present, grades 7-8+
  19. wishes he had more than two hands, eyes, and feet. An extra brain or two would be nice, too.
  20. #homeschool #history Looking for books for grades 7-8 to teach 19th Cent U.S. history, e.g. historical novels or biographies. Any tips?
