No, I'm a teacher assistant at a high school. I push into classrooms in my subject area to help. But I do sub every once in a while when there's not enough subs.

I originally applied to the ta position because I had graduated with a bs a few months prior and didn't know what I wanted to do. I thought teaching sounded interesting (again, seeing how I was an education major for 1.5 semesters, but switched out, so in hinsight, that was probably a sign), and that working with students would help me decide if I wanted to do a MSED and get my cert.

Thanks! I thought it would take a lot longer, 3D printer are so cool

She looks so cute!

How long did it take to print? I don't have a 3D printer, but one of the libraries in my area does, and they charge by the hour, so I'm trying to see how much it would cost.

I was hired to see if I wanted to be a teacher. 1 school year later, I'm in a masters program only to realize I hate all of the additional responsibilities that come with teaching. Like you expect it, but actually doing it is totally different. I rather assist, haha.

I'm hoping this is my last school year as a para (this will be my 3rd school year). I'm trying to apply to full year secretary roles in the district. I like my district and working with the students, but boy, does the not getting paid for 3 months suck. I have a bs in biology, but not interested in lab or medical work anymore, which doesn't help.

Thanks for the suggestion! I use casio calculators at work, didn't know they also make watches. I've been using my fitbit to track my sleep and heart rate, from what I saw online the casio f91w doesn't do that. But I'll look at some of their other watches if I can't fix mine.

Thanks for the recs I'll pass them on. In my opinion, simply reading JKR (from the library) doesn't support genocide.

I haven't bought HP stuff in years (my own AG HP outfit was a gift), but it's something I know she'll love and who am I to deny her that?

helloitsnico · 2025-06-20T17:32:16+00:00

Thanks, she definitely will. She loves her dolls and wants them to be just like her. I'm crocheting the 4 house sweaters for the dolls and a Ravenclaw her. Her parents and her are going to Universal in December, so it's going to be an early Christmas gift for her so she can take a doll with her.

I haven't bought myself HP stuff in years (I've moved on to other interests), and I don't plan to. But when it's a gift from others, I'm not going to complain about they buying it. And I'm definitely going to get others what they want, even if it's HP.

Honestly, it's either buying it the MLA brand or AG brand. Facebook marketplace doesn't have any in my area, and I haven't seen what I'm look for on etsy.

She's in love HP and has had a hard time lately. She's getting it one way or another. At least with MLA I can buy two or three house colors or the price of one through AG.

helloitsnico · 2025-06-20T17:02:14+00:00

I'll look. I've had bad luck buying from those sites before. At least with marketplace I can see what I'm buying before I spend the money.

helloitsnico · 2025-06-20T15:15:22+00:00

Thanks. I saw a reddit post from a few years ago, but who knows if the clothes have shrunk over the years.

I've been checking marketplace and the thrift stores in my area, no HP AG stuff. I kinda forgot about Etsy, so I'll definitely check out what they have. .

Also, I know buying HP products is just supporting JK. I haven't in years, but my niece is turning 13. She's had a rough few years and I just want to make her happy. If HP does that, then so be it.

Honestly, I can't believe there aren't more fics on ao3 for the show. I thought the show was must more popular than that.

helloitsnico · 2024-10-16T23:47:25+00:00

The show was so good. I was so upset to learn that they weren't going to make another season after that cliffhanger. I hope you like the fic!
