Erika's Journal

You know, for some completely unknown and mysterious reason I popped in my DVD with the late season 4 episodes of SGA and instead of watching Outcast, like a good Shep fan, I go with Quarantine. No problems right? The thing is, I watched the full episode without skipping parts. For the first time since it aired, I watched those Rodney scenes again. And do you know what I felt? I liked them. I felt relief. I actually wished it had been Keller stuck with him instead of Katie. Also, I liked the bit of Rodney whump there.

So, I went on full on crazy and watched Trio. Can you believe it? Trio! I hadn't seen that one ever since I downloaded it and wanted to delete it! Now, I loved it! I actually liked Keller and Rodney there. Also, Sam is completely made of win, even whumped (girl whump is poo!). And Rodney whump was such a refreshing image *needs to read more Rodney whump*. It doesn't help that I connected with Keller's fear of heights. I'm turning into a pro-McKeller! Talk about a 180 degree turn!

Does anyone have the straitjackets out yet? Because I'm about to put *that* episode. And I'm afraid I'll like it too! OMG! What's happening to me? It's the first Saturday that I don't spend the night filling myself with Shep whump! I just have such a huge grin on my face right now! Even without Shep whump.

Do I need to hand over my Shep whumper card now?

*clings to card* IT'S MINE!

I promise to make it up for it tomorrow! Or after! Or as soon as I finish BS. Promise! *scout's honor*

Some spoilers for some stuff I watched on the weekend.

( Spoilers for Torchwood 2x07 - Dead Man Walking )


( Atlantis 4x18 - The Kindred I )


( National Treasure 2 I'll discuss it without spoiling main plot twists )

And this film only made me more eager for Indy 4! It's going to be released on my birthday! Isn't it amazing!!!

I got the job. Yeah! Now, I have to go to the other school and tell them I won't be getting any classes this semester. They haven't started the semester yet and just got back from the holiday break, but I think they are already working an teacher's schedule, so I hope they won't get too mad for saying this so out of nowhere. The thing is that it all happened so fast, and during the break, so I didn't get the chance to talk to them. I think there won't be any problem, because I told them last year that I didn't know how my life would be in 2008. *hopes*

I start tomorrow. Fast huh? I'll start from scratch on the 7am classes (just delicious, when I think of the time I'l need to wake up at Sats...), then I'll get another's teacher's class, which could give problems, because I'm the fourth teacher they had since they begun. And I don't know about the others yet, but it looks like it'll be six classes (each twice a week). And they actually pay for the bus, unlike the other school.

I'm really liking this school. Their method is a little different, but I really like it. I spent the afternoon and night (from 1pm to 9:30pm) watching the other teacher and even gave one review class with a few games. I like the fact that it's all in English, even for those that don't know a word in English. Pressure there. I like that I'll have to do a lot of mime during the job, lol.

MY name is Erika. *indicates self* What's your name? *points to student*

So, if I don't show up for a few days, it's because I'm busy, planning, and studing, and working, and planning, and studing, and... oh yeah, working. *loves work*


I also have icons. Tons of icons. All Doppelganger, so spoilers for that.

Got back my Photoshop! Yay! After almost 5 months using Corel PhotoPaint, I can go back to the wonder of Photoshop CS2! I spent the entire day seeing if I still remember how to use it and got a little excited about it. Made two Shep walls and a bunch of icons, mostly Travelers, but also some Common Ground, one Adrift and one McKay and Mrs Miller. Wallies are Travelers and Reunion. Spoilers under the cut!


Samples:

Comment if taking, credit is nice, they are not bases and no hotlinking.

I have just one thing to say:
