And Mass Effect 2 started. Goddamn that was an amazing start. 2 hours passed like it was 20 minutes.

Actually, I CAN do simple maths under pressure.

Maths party, anyone?
Once it started asking me to algebra and asking me if a certain number was prime, I think it lost the right to keep calling it "simple maths".

Yeah, I lost on level 9, largely because I have spent all day doing vast volumes of simple math under pressure.

I lost on level seven when I forgot how many minutes were in an hour somehow.

New episode of Bravest Warriors and the first episode of RWBY has more scythe-dancing. <3

The new Bravest Warriors episode is pretty funny. Why are they continuing Season 1 though? I thought this was supposed to be Season 2 Episode 1. There's a decent chance I just didn't pay enough attention to their announcements, I guess.

I only got to level 6 before failing the first time... I kind of blame tiredness.

I'm really tired, but the peer examination of my teaching went well today!

I got compliments for being super-calm and confident, having great classroom presence, speaking clearly and articulately, and creating an extremely positive atmosphere in the classroom!  They said that they enjoyed being there because every time I reinforced a student, *they* felt really good.  Those theater, psychology, and rhetoric courses I strained over have paid off.

On the other hand one of the problems with today's lesson was that the previous lesson (a recurring weekly segment on origami) was a bit too much of a success, and the kids wanted to keep folding long after I'd told them many times [when once is usually enough] to put their stuff under their desks.  One of the girls suggested a model she wanted to fold for next week, too :3

My kids, by and large, seem really happy.  A lot of students who came in "low-skilled" are thriving, exhibiting great interest in learning even outside of class (checking out books from the library on math, looking up stuff on Google at home, etc.), and grinning like crazy whenever they get a question right.  I make them do stuff that is legitimately *really really hard* and then build on it, and they start lessons saying "OH NO, NOT AGAIN" and then I *can't get them to stop* when we need to switch to another activity.

Seriously, the very lowest-skilled students, even the one who started off cringing and unhappy because this was their third time repeating geometry and the third time with this particular teacher doing this preparatory summer program, are becoming cheerful and confident, able to help other students at points--confiding, even, to my co-teacher, that this is the first time in their many years with the program they've enjoyed writing in their journals and can't wait for that part of the day to arrive.

And some of them have started asking me things like what's done in a doctorate of mathematics.  Or what my (effective) minor in rhetoric is all about.

Behold.

I've been doing nothing but lounging about staring into space all day. I know exactly how a cat feels - perfectly indolent.
It's a good sensation. Hey, you wanna go do something? Sorry, I'm so lethargic I've been half asleep for 8 hours.

Awesome! I wish I had someone like that as a teacher.

Oh gods yes! I feel that fiction has been harsh on teachers, but where is the love for the ordinary heroes who do the extraordinary? Where is the appreciation for the teacher!

Namco is nerd-blowing my mind right about now, with a near-simultaneous announcement of a new Ace Combat game and an Andrew Hussie dating sim (?!).

People seem to be equal amounts terrified, confused, and excited by the dating sim.
