What's the worst thing about teaching?

Surprisingly, it's not the stunning amount of absentees and truants.

It's the fact that a bunch of young men and women have little to no skill in staying healthy living in cramped quarters and sharing bathrooms. As a result my immune system has received quite the workout. I am once again fighting off something gnarly in my nose.

Two more weeks Farmcountrians. Then I'm kicked out of academia and back to the boards I go. I'm a little nervous, a little excited, but mainly thankful I'll be back acting. I miss it so.

    acting misses you, too, for the record.

  3. I am well versed in the ways of the Neti Pot, and enjoy its unique grossness.

    Nothing like a really good "portion" come drooping out. Feels so good. Looks so gross.
