Massive

Massive, massive headache. It's been two days in a row that I wake up with one side of my jaw locked. Terrible. I can only wait it out. (It's heaven when that magic moment when my jaw pops back in place! Takes a couple of hours, and during that time I can't open my mouth much without a lot of pain.) Unfortunately, even after my jaw pops back I still have this massive headache and neck pain. Aaarrrggh. What can you do? Oh well.

So, I have an interview with LAUSD tomorrow; they are hiring professional experts to go into schools to conduct observations and interviews for a qualitative research study. Last time they advertised, it was 20 bucks an hour. Good. Unfortuately this gig only lasts until the end of May. Oh well. I am actually very interested because I want to learn more about research designs and do some good for kids. (If I were hired, I would be observing kids from K-grade12, and also interviewing principles and teachers. It will lead to data for educational program evaluation. God knows Los Angeles Unified School District needs as much as help as they can get. The education system here in LA right now is a zoo.)

Last night, in my Law and Ethics class, my professor brought up some interesting, thousand-year-old philosophical questions: "Is there a God? Did God create the universe? How do you explain evil and undeserved suffering?" (My professor is 65 years old, a retired attorney working on his 6th Ph.D. degree, which happens to be in existential philosophy.)

Hmm.
