NAME: Sharon
AGE: 25
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: writing, reading, watching shows (for a better list of fandoms check my profile), cross-stitching, social justice, feminism, and my cats.
LOOKING FOR: anything really, just looking for people to talk to.
ANYTHING ELSE?: I have depression and anxiety so sometimes it’ll crop up into my posts. For the most part I tag entries and I put that behind a cut so if you don’t feel comfortable reading it, that’s fine. It’s also my first year as a SPED Math teacher with the NYC Teaching fellows program and let me tell you, this year has not been fun for me. Especially not with everything that’s going on with education rn. I’m also doubling up and doing my masters at the same time because that’s how the program works and just... It’s been a stressful time for me rn so fandoms and such have been put on a bit of a hold. I still occasionally fangirl over on tumblr but I need my journal as a space to rant and let everything out. However once the school year is over ~~just a little over two months~~ and summer sets in I’ll probably talk about my classes, food, wine/heavy drinks, and the free e-books I’ve downloaded because those can be hilarious.

kudos to you for being a SPED teacher! i'm also a first year (traditional) teacher, but not SPED. ELL, which is its own set of challenges in an english class, but yeah. many, many kudos for that.

i also love cross-stitching! and obviously reading / writing, being an english teacher haha.

mind if i add? :D

Hi! I remember my first couple of years of teaching, and I am always down with empathizing. And yeah, the current state of education ... We also have Elementary fandom in common. I'm going to add you.

Hello :)
Avid reader and writer (and roleplayer) here who also loves animes. May I add you? I love to make new friends

Oh awesome! I live in NYC (in the Bronx) and work as a freelance math tutor. I'm pretty passionate about working in education and also being my own boss. We need to be friends and possibly in real life. ;-)

Definitely interested in the post-school talk about food, wine, and ridiculous e-books if you plan to stick around :)

Add?

Sure! Added you back!

Oooh! definitely adding you! I was a tutor before changing to a teacher.

Hi!

Sure, I'll add you now.

Definitely adding you!

Thanks! Whoo boy I have a self-contained class that is all ELLs. I definitely can sympathize on that front esp for English. It is not easy.

Cool! I'll add you now. :]

I am a former teacher and I also love to laugh about free e-books...are you a BookBub user? And do you mind if I add you?

I am! That's usually where I get my free e-books. Sure go ahead, I'll add you now.

sj/feminism + cats + it looks like we both like leverage and korra from your profile! also i DEFINITELY love hearing about bad free ebooks. adding you if that's ok :)

hello! Sorry for the late reply, I've been bogged down with work. But I'll definitely add you! :]
