My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • After my post yesterday, I thought perhaps I should seem more positive. So, this morning I am thinking of the good points of life and the day: *It’s Thursday, which means the weekend starts after just two more classes. 🙂 *I’m going to eat Korean food tomorrow as I catch up with a friend/colleague, which will be nice. *I love my bf, bff, family and lifestyle. *There are only 43 days left of…

  • …did you know that sometimes as I smile I am imagining smashing your face against a wall? Or, that every time I see a particular student I smile as I imagine pummeling his face into a bloody pulp for the torture he and his fellow classmates put me through? Or, that when I say ‘Hi, how’s it going?’ I really want to say ‘You’re a pathetic fool and I despise you?’. Or, that…

  • I’ll attempt to keep this all theoretical and as objective as possible, but it may be hard. One of the reasons that I started doing my dissertation on the topic of leadership development and training is because of working with so many leaders or people who want to leaders who don’t have the basics in leadership skills. Of course, there’s the argument of is a leader born or made? There’s also a discussion…

  • Time is flying by and I have gotten out of my habit of writing regularly – either here or anywhere. Here’s what’s been going on: *I’m taking an online course through tesol.org called “Training Trainers”, which has been pretty good so far, though keeping me extra busy. The good thing about taking these courses are the contact I make, plus it keeps my head fresh towards working on the PhD. *Speaking of PhD,…

  • _Steve Jobs_ by Walter Isaacson Like the man, I found the varied reactions of people to the book to be passionate. The few people to whom I mentioned that I was reading this book gave me responses such as “He was such an asshole that I couldn’t keep reading it,” or “He focused too much on doing drugs and this is suppose to be a role model,” or “He really wasn’t much of…

  • Well, my silent period for thinking turned into an extremely busy period of working. Thus, the thinking has been pushed aside and the space in my brain has been filled with stuff at work, an online course and my research activities. Amidst all of this, I’ve been pulled to a slight halt when yesterday afternoon someone walked into my closed office (though not locked) to steal my iPhone while I went to the…

  • My mind is in need of some organizing and is undergoing a quiet period…thus, no updates. 😀 -T

  • Going to bed around 8:30 or 9 or 10, waking up at 2 or 2:30am, laying in bed trying to go back to sleep until 5ish, getting up at 6am, going to work, ready to die at 1:30pm…. This is my current state of insanity! 😀 -T

  • To ensure that we got to the airport in time, we allotted quite a bit of time to get back to Charleston for my flight at 2.30pm. We stopped for a breakfast in Myrtle Beach and then hit the road. It was much faster and easier to get back, so we arrived at the airport by 11ish. My parents didn’t want to hassle with the rental and so they came to the airport…
