Grad School Personified

Grad school to me: I will eat your soul.

Letter to Grad School

Dear Grad School

Currently, you are kicking my cohort's butt. We are stressed, sick, burnt out and going crazy. For now, we are just chugging along... like that little engine that could.... But in 402 days..... we will be looking back and say, "WE CONQUERED YOU BIATCH!!!"

Sincerely,
Me

My Ode to the Upcoming Brain and Spine Extraction Activity

brains, brains how will I examine thee?
I'll poke you and slice you....
and I'll do this all with glee.
It's your brain that I am thinking
I hope it gives you pain
While I'm dissecting.
Like voodoo with a little doll
Writhe in pain and curl into a ball!!!!


yes.... bitchy aren't I?

What ifs?

What if I never reach my goal?
What if I fall down a deep hole?
What if I break down and cry?
What if I'm afraid to try?
What if I say "I give up"?
What if I say "I should stop"?
What if I say "I'm through! No more!"?
What if I say "I've never been this down before?"

Please push me till I reach my goal
Give me a hand to climb my hole
Be my shoulder when I cry
Urge me on to go on and try
Encourage me and cheer me up
"Believe in yourself don't ever stop
You'll reach your goals and so many more,
Because you are a stronger person than before."

Birds and the Bees

We had our Social Stars group for today and we discussed "touching", what kinds of touching was appropriate and not appropriate. This group was a group of 1st graders and a Kindergartner.

The SLP asked... "Do we kiss people?" the reaction of the first grader was, "Ewwwww... Never ever kiss people. Never kiss anybody because first you get cooties, then you get AIDS!!" The kindergartner replied with "yeah, and you get in trouble."

What happened to the birds and the bees? I wonder what their parents taught them... hmmm... but they're right.... kissing gives you trouble..... ha! my students are so bright!

Our Professor's words of wisdom

Quote from our professor "Tequilla makes my clothes fall off...."


It's a song..... but no one in class knew that..... till our professor mentioned it 2 minutes later. That was the most awkward 2 minutes.

A Poem About my Grad Program

Intake sheet, intake sheet--
How will I make thee?
Lesson plans and research papers,
I'll have to write all three.
Books and articles are piling on top
Testing and presentations oh please just stop.
To complete this crazy program,
Shed blood, sweat, tears and pray
But Screw it all people
When is my time to play?

First Day of internship
