The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

I missed out big time on the American youth experience due to 5 different elementary schools, 4 different high schools. The only people I had to hang with were my siblings and cousins who had already graduated. Some folks here and there, some dudes who wanted to bang me.

Enjoy it. My oldest friendship outside of family is only a decade long, and we're not even that close. Appreciate the folks you've known forever. Some people never get such memories.

Because unlike you non-Americans, we actually have fun in college.

What the Hell. I too don't understand the American education system fully, but college was the best time of my life. You go from 16-18 here and study things you actually want to study, so maths, biology, chemistry and history for me and it was a great 2 years. I then went on to University where I studied maths and chemistry which was ok but not as fun as college.

I now teach maths at a college, but it turns out college isn't anything like it was when I went anymore. Since it's now compulsory to be in education until you're 18 in the UK, I've found the arrogant, obnoxious and academically limited students go on to college and the rest stay on at school and attend what we call 6th form. So basically I have to teach students who go to college and study things like hair and beauty, art & design, performing arts etc. It is compulsory that they attend maths and English at college because the vast majority failed everything that they should have passed at school. Basically, I'm teaching them maths that they have already done for 5 years at school against their will and it's just such a challenge. I would like to teach a wide range of ability but these are all very low ability, ranging from struggling with multiplying by 10 up to ones that can manage basic algebra.

Like Funerary_Doom, my life at the moment is lesson planning and the Themed Mixtape Game.

Because teaching is just so metal. Apparently Wagner Antichrist from Sarcofago lectures maths and economics at a University in Brazil.

Who else is a teacher here other than Funerary_Doom?
 
I teach 4 classes at community colleges in the Inland Empire. Math. Idk to give daily presentations you have to be somewhat aggressive/assertive tbh which leads to liking metal. Or is it the other way around? We listen to metal to keep us pumped to be aggressive/assertive? It takes a certain level of balls to get up there and talk to different groups of 30+ people for 4 hours a day.
 
I don't teach people at a school, but I do sometimes give presentations as part of my job with the goal to deliver information and sometimes, in rare instances, training. It can be for one person or a few hundred, depending.
 
Myrtus berry through the port sipper, very nice, like a port but not as sweet. I like.

Of course moments after this pic was taken the drink was spilt on the floor, aren't I just fantastic?
Edit: did I also mention that I am a manager?
