Back from the BRAIN DEAD

I am five weeks into student teaching -- only FIVE more to go!  Oh my god I can barely contain myself.  You may be wondering why it's been so long since you've heard from me... well, you see, when you spend all day with 14 year olds (who my adviser says are "all assholes at this age") when you get home, you're brain is literally DEAD.  

I get home around four or so and just sit for two hours.  I can't think about anything, I can't talk about anything.  I have friends and family that I haven't called because, quite frankly, I don't have the attention span for a conversation.  I do think about it (Jen, Min), but then I decide to turn the TV on and see if I have anything on the DVR.  Something that won't bother to teach me anything, or make me think.  

I think I've got another three weeks to go until I'm done teaching, then I need to start phasing my mentor teacher back into the class room.  Some students asked me when this will happen and then groaned when I told them -- they like me better... Alex tells me they're just "kissing ass" and probably don't care that much.  Who knows.

Okay, so, doll hair.  This is what I did on one of the experimental heads:

I used felt.  She has bangs now too, but to post that here would require me to take more photo's, and (quite frankly) that's just not going to happen right now.  

You know all those doll parts I've been showing you for MONTHS?  Well, I finally put her together, but she's naked and I'm working on some clothes for her now.  Maybe you'll see the results in a few weeks.  Who knows.  I'm pretty pleased with it though.  

You see, I have accomplished something.  It just has nothing to do with my masters degree or student teaching... Hmm.
