2019.01 minutiae
- Wikipedia: In South America alfajores are found most notably in
Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador, Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Peru,
Venezuela, and Brazil.
So… not too popular in Guyana or Suriname, then.
Got it.
- I got an announcement that registration for an upcoming job fair
would be open from February 5rd to
March 9st.
- I took her to Disneyland for her birthday—the first time
I’d been there since 1985.
Did you know that Space Mountain has music now?
- As I was walking to school one morning I caught a glimpse of something
moving out of the corner of my eye.
It turned out to be a chicken in a tree.
Unaccustomed to finding chickens in trees on urban street corners, I tried
to get my camera out of my bag, but the chicken responded by making that
stereotypical
“buck‐buck‐buck‐ba‐GAHHH!”
noise and hopping down the branch and out of sight, hiding behind a bunch
of leaves.
The next day I was walking down that same street when I heard someone cry
out, “Oh my god! There’s a chicken in a
tree!”
- I completed the first half of my teacher credentialing program and
have begun the second half, in which I teach two classes myself full
time.
I spent the break between semesters planning out each day up to
March 8th (or, as the job fair announcement
would undoubtedly have it, March 8nd).
Before my first day, I put together my presentation for the projector,
printed up an outline, ordered a week’s worth of handouts of my own
devising, handwrote 58 labels for the
students’ binders, etc., etc.
At long last, day one arrived.
It went pretty well!
I didn’t get a standing ovation but all in all I’d put it on
the high side of reasonable expectations.
As the bell rang at the end of my second class, I let out a breath and
reflected that, hey, all that work had paid off.
Half a minute later it dawned on me that I had to do it all over again
the next day.
