Finally, that Mockingjay review

Posted on 02 September 2010

I’ve been meaning to write about the third installment of one of my most favorite series (second only after Harry Potter) but life kept on intruding. Exams to take, readings (real life readings. Read: How to treat cancer), faucets to fix, and students to give lectures to all created a buzz that just kept me from blogging about Mockingjay. Finally, I’m all settled in and ready to talk about Suzanne Collins’ third book in the Hunger Games trilogy. How did I feel? Well, let’s see. Although I really liked the happy ending, there were times that I found it... Continue Reading

Selecta’s Pistachios and Cashew drizzled with Hot Choco Fudge!

Posted on 01 September 2010

Ice cream! Everyone loves ice cream (just as everyone loves Online Schools!). And no, not on a hot sunny day as a way to cool off as some would suggest. As Fli says; “that just makes me thirsty”. On a hot, heat-stroke inducing day, I would rather have a really tall glass of Coke Zero or Pepsi Max with lots of ice. Or maybe a really ice cold bottle of my fave Sam Mig Light. Now that would be a nice cooling off strategy. Aaand I’m going off topic. As I was saying, I love ice cream. But I... Continue Reading

Pressured!

Posted on 27 August 2010

Divide 120 by 12. What do you get? 10. That’s 10, T-E-N days to you! 120 days is all I’ve got left ’till I have to be ready for the medical board exams. And I have a total of 12 subjects to study. So which means that if I start today, I will have a total of just 10 days to review each subject (I might need that Blue Cross Blue Shield NC health plan after all). Yikes! I am sooo short on time! Whatever happened to the nine months I had to review for the boards??? I still... Continue Reading

Singing frustrations

Posted on 27 August 2010

Why oh, why is it that when I sing in the shower, I feel like I’ve gotten all the notes right- my voice filled with raw emotion and power that rivals David Cook’s (complete with an audience waving led flashlights). But every time I start singing along with the radio in my room, it seems like I suddenly lost my star potential and all I can manage is a blurt out random stucco’s of notes that seem more like poetry reading than singing. The same thing happens whenever I try to sing during video-ke night with friends (one of... Continue Reading

Sir Joy and his five white rats

Posted on 27 August 2010

I was in the faculty workroom a couple of months back,catching up on some reading when I was startled by a scampering and a scurrying around my feet amidst the school furniture. Looking down I saw two white lab mice sniffing around the floor. Knowing that Biology students used white mice for various experiments, I wondered whether some escaped then bred with other ‘local’ mice. I initially thought that these were the ‘wild’ white rats. Then my fellow English teacher (FYI, I’m teaching English to help support my medical board exam reviews. Effectively busting the myth about all doctors... Continue Reading
