I am now seriously hooked on this show. I started watching the episodes this week and just... lovelovelove. I adore Kurt and Santana! It doesn't help that my favorite number of theirs is Bad Romance, which... is in my phone. On repeat. Right now. And I will forever lol at Kurt and his football team's Single Ladies routine.

In other news, I am oh-so-slowly getting my rp mojo back again! Yay.

In other, other news, I had that dream about teaching again. This time? Fourth-graders, Math. And there was this scene where a kid was asking me about something and I really didn't understand what he was talking about, and as he went to sit down he said, 'it's okay. I know you didn't get it.' And all those feelings I had about teaching elementary students - such as feelings of incompetence at classroom discipline, inadequacy, 'oh god what am I doing here' - came rushing back. And this happened after I felt that need and want to teach again - college-level, though. Also, English. Subconscious, what are you trying to tell me :(

GLEE. Plot isn't the best (or all that great this season, tbh, weep), but the music is still *____*

I taught 8th Grade for a while. It was a pain being a 20 something who looks like she could order off the kids' menu getting those kids to adhere to disciplinary issues. Panic attack inducing at times, negl. I totally fear you there, though I didn't teach nearly as young as 4th Graders. Far too tiny for me. College level doesn't sound like it would be bad! This is actually what I'm debating looking into since I've got a truckload of issues with the textbook reforms the state has done in regards to middle school. There, you're more likely to get students who want to be there and actually try. Maybe your subconscious is telling you that giving it a try can't hurt?

I know! Plot issues, I have them, but it's just amusing to watch all the same. And I sort of wish Rachel isn't singing all the freaking time, but what can you do. And their songs are ♥. I want icons where all the girls and Kurt are wearing Lady Gaga costumes because they look fantastic there!

8th Grade! I subbed for a 7th Grade teacher a few times and just... no. I knew I can't teach anywhere from 6th to high school... which is weird considering college years are just a year or two away from high school. I was teaching 1st grade students in my first and only year of teaching and they are definitely very tiny. But they're so cute! And hard to control, though. SIGH.

I think so, too! I'm planning on getting a degree or MA just so I can be qualified to teach in college :D

Sam! I just love Sam's smile. I think Sam/Quinn is going to be fabulous.

[zarahjoyce.livejournal.com]

I know! I don't get how people can actually think he's ugly. And I like Sam/Quinn too, but hopefully it won't be very quick. I hope it develops well.

Gah I know! I've been hearing awful stuff about how wide his mouth is. I don't get it. He's beautiful.

Maybe it's because we like Draco that blond guys are automatically likable? I don't know.

[zarahjoyce.livejournal.com]

Haha! Maybe :P

Single Ladies was so freaking awesome! LOL. I love the first 13 episodes the most, the back nine less (especially some) but I've recently gotten back into it and I've thus far not been all that disappointed. I still think the first of it was the absolute best, but I don't know if that was the plot itself, the writing or just me falling in love and now I've kind of fallen out of love with it (except for with the music)... I don't know. I am glad you're loving it though.


It's telling you that you made the right choice in wanting to teach college-level and English, rather than fourth-graders Math, that's what it's telling you.

Their music definitely rocks, although I'm not much a fan of Rachel as I am of everyone else. And yep! The first few eps are great! The show needs to have more Kurt and Santana singing, though XD

I don't even know why I'm teaching Math in my dream, though. It was so weird!

[reetinkerbell.livejournal.com]

I love Rachel. I think the writers just use her badly, and exaggerate her bad sides, just as they exaggerate things for other people to make their personalities and characters less the same. I think they've gotten a bit better at allowing "background characters" more space, not just on the show itself but within the Glee group to sing etc. I like that.

Possibly because it was a bad dream with all the things you're afraid/worried about regarding teaching and you want to teach Math the least, so that's what you dreamed about?

Yep, thank goodness! I actually loved the most recent episode since, with the exception of Artie and Brittany, everyone got a chance to sing. Even Mike Chang, who I adore ♥

Very possibly. I actually woke up sweating - it was that scary to me.

[reetinkerbell.livejournal.com]

I love that Rachel and Kurt sang together - because I do think she's right, that they are more alike than most realise. And Mike Chang. Yes, much love. I did like the blooming Artie and Tina romance, but I have to say, I've enjoyed her more as a character this season with Mike, and them as a couple works... possibly because we do get to see more of them as a couple than we ever saw of Artie and Tina (or them as friends-about-to-become-a-couple even).

That, does not sound good at all.

[zarahjoyce.livejournal.com]

I really like Mike and Tina's duet very much. I do hope they work out as a couple.

[artemis-chick.livejournal.com]

Also hoping for that. :) I wish they'll give Mike more screen time.
