rethinking Milwaukee - attention fellow profs

[cornerofmadness]

I've decided to apply since putting my eggs in the Marietta basket doesn't seem wise. My problem with Milwaukee is I don't want to live in a city. Then it was like DUH there ARE 'burbs after all. And Milwaukee does have things to recommend it
Museums
beer
cultural events such as Irish and Native American fests (HUGE fests at that)
beer
theatre
beer
Summerfest (an incredible week of live music)
beer
close proximity to chocolate fest
beer
close proximity to Indian gambling
beer

so I ask my fellow profs (or anyone out there) know anything about ability based teaching? I can't wrap my head around this. My parents were going over the site with me And we said at the same time OMG the 70's live. I can't get touchy-feely teaching to jive with a Nun-run school!

My dad had just one thing to say. "you're a tree-hugging liberal. you belong in Wisconsin. You won't find a more perfect school..."

...beer

Oh, hey, Milwaukee has BEER!

...

I still say you'll be teaching at Oaklyn. *grins*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Beer,beer,beer, beer

and a funky hippie nun college

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

ahhahahah...that sponsors young jazz musicians, obviously!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that too.... problem is I may not be able to afford it

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Find out.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

did...it doesn't look hopeful

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm.

[rain-oubliette.livejournal.com]

A nun-run school? Does that mean you'd have to wear a habit and be Sister Mary Danish or something like that?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Marion. My nun name would be Marion (no really)

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

So...Milwaulkee has beer, eh?

Are these the kind of nuns that run around exorcising demons with cute little boy demons? Because I can totally see you doing that. ;)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

beer beer beer

you know, they almost sound like it! poke around the site. They have all sorts of um...unexpected nun things going on

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

ability-based teaching? oh great, the students will probably be even more retarded than what you're used to, but with dirtier hair and more pot. *eyeroll*

i believe in tests, red pens, and good old-fashioned pressure. learning should hurt! :p

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

nope ALL girls, all Catholic girls specifically

which doesn't rule out pot

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

doesn't rule out dirty hair either. :p or hippies. or retarded hippies who go there because they don't have the brains to pass a test.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

this school is actually well awarded. it has admission qualifications

i just don't know how they find faculty.

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

hm. *shrug* dunno.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

It certainly can't hurt to apply.

Truthfully nuns and beer both kind of terrify me. **g**

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

Nuns+beer.......*scratching head* Ummm.....that would be interesting. Irish festivals....OH YEAH!!!!!!!! Guinness!!!!!!!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah the GOOD beer

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

The ONLY good beer in the world!!!

Of course I'm probably prejudiced since I'm of Irish heritage! *beaming*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

my people are more known for their wines

but yes I'm actually NOT that fond of Milwaukee's offerings

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

I'm not that heavy of a drinker, but I can tell you we Irish are fond of the Guinness and are generally not shy about other alcohol.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm majorly fond of guinness

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

Makes you an honorary Irish!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh good

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

*chuckle* Don't worry, we wouldn't require you do all the crazy stuff we manage to accomplish!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh i probably wouldnt mind

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

*LOL* We Irish can get really nuts at times. Remember....they call us the Fighting Irish for a VEWWY good reason.

Gerry used to claim we Irish would fight anyone, anywhere, anytime, for any reason or no reason at all...simply because we CAN! And I would chime in with "because it's there!"

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

snort

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

Is true! *big innocent blue eyes*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you should see the combination of the two. I have. Wow. scary.
