I used 250g semolina, 112g hot water. Combined until it formed a ball, then kneaded for 5 minutes. Let rest covered in Saran Wrap for 15 minutes, then kneaded until smooth (it was really hard still). I boiled immediately after shaping.
The braid/ section of hair on the left side of my head always seems to noticeably lack the fullness and volume on the right side. It’s really starting to get to me lol! Yes, both braids are pancaked. Left side more than the right. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a reason?
I paid extra for expedited service. I’m not traveling soon, but I wanted to have it pretty quickly for other reasons. Passport came in and I’m very upset. I don’t look like that, lol. I’m trying to fill out the DS-5504, but there is no way to select photo error on the application. Only printing error. What should I do? Should I just select that all the data is correct? There is no other place on the application to indicate the error besides this one question.
I sub at this school so much that the principal has included me in staff meetings and email updates. The staff all know me and treat me with respect. The kids adore me.
I subbed for an English class for the last two weeks of school here and today, on the last day, a student of mine saw me driving home and crossed the intersection to shake my hand through my car window at the red light 🥲
They love me so much and I love them back. The kids frequently tell me that I’m just another teacher to them and they don’t consider me a sub.
I got so many gifts and cards for teacher appreciation week that it made me cry.
I’m genuinely so blessed and I have such a hard time when I have to sub at any other school. Hoping for another long term position at that school next year!
I’ve had kids throw things at me, insult me, try to fight me, etc. but none of that ever bothered me. For some reason today an 8th grade class I was subbing for really got my blood boiling.
I’ve been to this school a million times and I just got offered a long term sub position there today, so all the kids know me super well. All they had to do today was watch a movie for fun. I let them chat with their friends, listen to appropriate music on their laptops with headphones, play board games etc. Their teacher said it was a fun day.
Somehow they still found ways to break the rules. Had their phones out, were fighting each other, eating paper, jumping off desks when I wasn’t looking…all that.
I tried splitting up the rowdy groups but it didn’t help at all. I finally turned on the big light and got all their attention and told them they really really upset me. I asked them why they were being so crazy and bad when all they had was a free period pretty much. I asked why they were back talking and hitting each other and not listening. I told them I’d never been more upset at any class in my career. I actually felt like crying for a second which is dumb. They all got dead silent and one kid said he didn’t think I was capable of ever getting mad.
They all behaved after that and I apologized for raising my voice. Some of them tried to give me money to make me feel better (I told them to put it away) and a bunch of them rattled on themselves to admin because they felt bad. The kid I gave detention to apologized when the bell rang and said he deserved it.
I explained it to the principal and she said not to worry. I still feel horrible though. I always want to be positive but firm. Never angry and yelling. I really hate that their stupid behavior got to me.
Just venting I guess.
