Game: Ask the Person Below You

there are aspects of college teaching and coaching that are just wonderful so im tempted to say that, but my goodness that temptation is relatively quickly destroyed by so many instances of problem students and administrators that too often make it stressful bordering on miserable.

I think a particular slice of teaching I experienced stands in contrast to what I wrote above---being a grad assistant and teaching classes while being a student at the same time.

I also worked cross-country and track & field camps for 7 summers and loved that...

oh wait---! I also worked in aquatics for years and apart from the aforementioned "administration", I absolutely loved teaching swimming to kids, water exercise to adults, and lifeguard training to high school and college students.

Hmmmmmmm what is the first song- apart from lullabies, hymns, etc.- you can remember ever listening to? Or maybe just an old song that you heard when you were young.. Doesn't have to be a classic.

hard to say exactly, but fond memories of sitting on a friend's porch in the summer, trading and playing with baseball cards, listening to wkbw out of buffalo and a few pop songs come to mind---billy don't be a hero, seasons in the sun and little willy. still when I hear those songs it takes me right back there.
