also

it totally horrifies me that teacher evals are now public record and so fucking easily accessible--search bar on front page on nytimes (at least yesterday, it may be buried by today)
even bill gates thinks this is a terrible idea

there are only 20 black kids at stuyvesant high school

that seems fucked up to me.

florida was nice. should have stayed one more day, b/c it's cold here and it was warm there. also it's nice to be taken care of. (although marathon does a fuck load of taking care of me)

crafternoon today, excited, but also don't want to spend so much time inside. i made my own bed on this one though. i think i will work on a felting project involving some homemade stencils (and making the stencils)

went to a weird, taste of wheel throwing class. i bought it in a charity auction. was nice to play with the clay on the wheel and feel no need to worry about making a good piece. (she was charging a lot extra to fire) did an ok job of centering but not great. did make me wonder if i should take another ceramics class, but certainly not with her. also looking at some super cool things that with a y made--although she is way better than i ever got.

EZT!!!!!! even though i am discouraging them from coming here b/c our apt is so small i want them to come here and go to children's museum and the farmer's market and then to carousel in dumbo

ok now back from pilates. (should i cancel gym so i have more money for pilates? but gym is theoretically anytime when these classes are at proscribed times. and gym theoretically has cardio as well.
signed up for tennis lessons. woo hoo. why so fucking expensive though.

happy to have crafternoon, but pretty day so kinda want to be out more...

some interesting candidates today

just from reading their apps. we'll see how they do. i should be charging my phone. oops. one may have worked in the same lab as me.

making daikon cakes.

went out to the Nassau coliseum yesterday to see a kings hockey game. walked part way there. probably should have walked the whole way. (from the train station) good game. but then we were lame, mainly b/c i did not want to ride my bike in the cold.
watched snatch. i like those kinda movies.

2 pilates classes today. woo hoo. needed to use up my set. going to a random class on tues.

as always feel out of touch from friends.

guess i never put up that post

some things
i lost a ring i care about. not my fault. it was chilly out and my finger shrunk. i think i realized it just after it happened, but...
doing alumni interviews for the service corps this week. happy to do em but they are a little repetitive. tired of this role play and yet to be truly inspired by a person (i'm a super tough critic)
lava going well as long as we don't do tuck ups.
teaching some handstands in PE at school.
my supervisor is leaving. a friend is applying for her job. she would be good at some aspects. i think it will be a big turnover year.
hamstrings super tight and i need a hot bath.
and to appreciate my partner more.
