FuzzyTeddyYou are on the archive wiki. The new wiki is here. Arb Information About the life of FuzzyTeddy Classic Chick-Flick Party Anyone besides me that likes Chick-flicks? Well I recently found 3 of the all time best chick flicks (Top Gun, Dirty Dancing and Pretty Women) on DVD at a video shop. The idea is to eat Ice-Cream and Chocolate Mouse, and watch the chick-flicks that were popular when we were younger. Proposed date either 24 September or 1 October.

This is a rant about the activities involved in job hunting. rant rant rant! Is it just me or is writing those bloody essays with titles like "1000 words about me" for prospective employers more difficult and more evil than any essay that varsity could ever request? and since I did humanities I have written a lot of essays. Hmm while since I was here, email and internet access since I stopped studying has mysteriously got much more difficult, no guesses as to why :) Started tutoring at UWC recently (but because I am not a student there they are very confused about giveing me computer access that works), and it is so so different to UCT. It is marvelous though, all my little first years still suffer from enthusiasm, no complaints though, it is so much easier to teach people who actually arive for classes, hand in assignments, and at least appear to want to be there, although anyone reading this probably never experienced those feelings in any significant quantities. It is so nice to be on the other side of the red pen, and the power mwuhaha, nah not really, but it is fun except for the driving out to Belville most days, and one lecturer not being able to read timetables! He phoned to ask me to take over some classes for a tutor who is no longer available, cool, more money because I am paid per class, all good, 8:30, not so good because to get there without spending an hour in traffic have to leave home at 6:45, I did it all through undergrad to get decent parking at UCT, so alright. BUT when I get there and sit an read in the car for nearly an hour, go to my class, and discover I am in the WRONG class, and the one I am teaching is at 9:40 and I could have left home at 8:45 instead of 6:45! NOT COOL! So for lecturers teaching critical literacy and he can't even read his own timetable RANT RANT GRYPE COMPLAIN ETC... Hmmm UCT is evil, I know that marks are not given out purely on work put in, but the right now I wish they were! I have been locked up un my study for months! well maybe only two but I did heaps of research before that, I got a nasty low mark. Oh well, going to run around seeing if i can convince someone to raise the mark just a bit tomorrow... eek. Got another cat on tuesday, well my sister is spending so little time in the country and Norm likes her cat so for now it has moved in with us, only problem, it doesn't seem very fond of the cat we already had, so we are trying to convince them to make friends. Right: Haven't really figure out posting stuff to wikki, but thought I would make some vague attempt it it since I finally got some braincells back for my own uses. They have been sucked into the computer and millions, (well no, more like the 30 something) books on literary theory, pop-culture and other academic stuff that have been littering my study since December sometime. In other words, I have finished my honours thesis and as such my academic career for the next while. Known to most as Caroline. |
