REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

Finally
Posted on Sunday, August 31 2008 @ 12:50:07 Eastern

I got my degree, and my teaching certificate!

It's about damn time too, because I have been waiting for it since JUNE. Now it's late, meaning I can't get a job anywhere unless I get called in by a principal, so all my initial shopping for a teaching job has been for naught so far. Then again, New York has no real openings, because of cutbacks due to No Child Left Behind and shortening budgets that the state has created for itself to better govern numerous overcrowded schools with inadequate conditions, supplies, and sometimes teachers who don't give a damn because they lost their spark to do anything.

Yeah i'm cynical, but it's also true. I find it somewhat ironic, actually, that they have willing graduates who want to help in any way they can, but will not hire anyone because of cutbacks, all induced through the policies of both state and government decree.

But, at least I finally got my certificate, so now I can teach legally, so soon, your children will be in my classroom, learning about history and objectivism.

I do actually have hope then if you are teaching kids, it proves not all teachers are stuck up cynical bastards who only help jocks and pretty girls who's pants they want to get in. Good Job Links. *Buys beer*

Good luck finding a job teaching any social studies type class. Even though it'd be nice to teach history or philosophy, I decided to seek certification to teach mathematics instead simply because there's so much more demand.

My problem is I am horrible at Mathematics.I can barely do fractions on my own, so I am hoping something opens up.although it is looking bad right now.
