my favorite teachers

now that i am almost done with school i can blatantly list my favorite all time teachers (in no particular order):

-Miss Joslin- 4th grade.... she had weekly auctions to teach us math.. what an incredible incentive for someone who HATES math
-miss hunt- 1st grade- she made school less scary
-miss healy- 2nd grade- i loved her
-dr. anne wiley- community college- she made me want to go on to get my BA
-prof. mccarthy- community college- made me view the world through different lenses, and taught me about disability rights
-prof. larose- community college- taught me about the world outside the US, left politics and made me question everything
-katherine mallorey- academic advisor- life saver
-and lucky me, ALL my professors from this semester: strunk, ford, wilson, rudy, el-hibri... what a way to leave my undergraduate education! it's been a rough but enlightening semester- and i wouldn't have wanted it with any other group of teachers... i have learned more this semester than in perhaps my entire 22 years of education! thank you from the bottom of my heart... and now, i am going to stop procrastinating... and finish my work :)

a lack of blogging

To anyone who may have followed my blog: i am sorry for ditching you for almost a month now!

but i have good excuse! in the last month i've been in the emergency room at least once per week. i have gone from taking 3mg. of steroids to 60mg. my hair has fallen out a little on the front, my skin is covered in eczema and in general, i feel miserable. i've had anaphylaxis to asthma. hives to a runny nose. and most importantly, the dreaded finals which come at the end of a semester- or which i have yet to complete.

i hope you will remain my loyal readers... i just need until sunday to finish my finals and then i promise, i will be back... perhaps not in good health... but always in good cheer.

take care all you sickos out there, we need eachother.
