Awards a plenty

But before I get to bragging about how great I am, let me give Leni a plug. Her choose your own author ficathon closes tomorrow. It was a lot of fun last time. Give it a looksee and sign up. You'll like it.

Now onto my greatness:

I won three at the Potential Awards (writinggoddess is taking nominations again. I know she's added more character centric categories. Go nominate yourself. I need to do the same). 

Pain to Kill one of ELD and my Postcard from the Edge series stories, Connor & Faith (with Angel tossed in) took runner up in the unconventional pairing.

First Night - a S3 Buffy/Angel (and the gang) story taking place a New Year's Eve party won a Black Rose award and The Judas Goat and angsty Wes/Lilah fic S4 won runner up for Sexy Stud-Wes

I won one in The Chosen Awards (and our site did too, as did our webmistress who actually beat me in this same category) for With Dead Eyes a Spike/Dru historical (one of my very first Buffy stories, #2 I believe) set soon after William's siring took runner up in the Past fic category

And from the Futureverse awards (dedicated to just that, future stories with some of the most unusual snapshot, lovely awards I've ever seen), I took best WIP for Hyperion's Son (does anyone not know about my heroin junkie Connor story by now? This wip has so many awards I'll have to retire it before I even finish it!)

 

I mean where did we even find this great pic

Interesting

Surprise. One of my students can’t make the first day of class because of her new job. I have to teach her one on one TOMORROW. Thanks for nothing. Luckily it’s mostly just reading the syllabus to her and doing some vocab (I need to look at that myself and figure out what words I need to know).

I now have a very good idea what I’m teaching. This is the same class I had as a sophomore in high school. Sad. What it boils down to is this, the original class was TWO semesters long (which is what it should be) but was deemed too hard for the allied health students (x-ray techs, surgical techs, etc). So we now have this general (and I do mean general) class that I’m teaching for them (state mandated and thank you state of WI for making it only ONE semester) for them and as a prep for advanced A/P for the nursing students. It’s going to be HARD to forget what I know to make this class easy enough.

Funny thing, one of the work study ladies was talking to me. She had her kids at the lab today and we got to talking about them. The boys were named Lorne and Connor and my boss’s kid’s name is Gordo. Yeah, I’m trying not to snicker.
