...to live.

My teacher went out of town and we have to deal with a sub. I feel the worst for the new people who just joined for the new sequence... the substitute is kind of flighty-dumb and the teacher didn't leave detailed enough lesson plans to account for this.

To top it all off, when I relocated back to the back-corner where I feel comfortable, B. has not moved from her spot at the end of that table yet. And B. is the most annoying person... she used to live in Nigeria, and so she always has these rambling stories about "back in Nigeria", and she'll pause at certain points to go "you understand?" just about every other sentence. She's also highly religious and looks down on those of us who voice complaints about the teacher.

For example, the new student C. was telling me how she'd spent 3 hours on the math last night and was still unsure that she understood the concepts. And B. butted in counselling C. to "be patient" and wait for the regular teacher since she had a way of teaching how she wanted her students to do the math. Basically, it was completely unhelpful "don't make waves" bullshit.

I'm sorry, but we are going to be without the teacher until Friday, since her flight was delayed. C. should not have to struggle for two days because the substitute doesn't have the right handouts and can't teach without going off on five tangents per minute.

I hate dealing with B. so much.

The comm is slowing down. Schoolwork is not challenging this week. The job search is still bust.

I am co-writing a story with faile_neume that is shaping up to be the first story in a series. We're at over 15,000 words, and three of the scenes are partially finished. And we have more planned. This is gratifying.

I will try to ride the wave of ficification and see about writing those prompts y'all left me a while back.
