Married.

Honeymoon now.

Hooray!

I am 23 years old.

Next week I will have my Master of Education degree and a steady job at a great middle school.

Next month I will be married to my best friend and own a 3 bed/2 bath house outside a major city.

I never thought I'd luck out like this.

Noooooooooooooo!

AK Press used to sell a Che shirt with the caption "Not bad for a fucking pinko commie". And now it's gone. I wanted one! Noooooooooo!

Am filled with suck and defeat.

Today I slipped and said "damn" in class. Do you know what the kids did?

They burst in applause.

...

I'm not sure what this says about the youth of America.

Kids are so weird ( Read more... )

I had my second lesson observation today and it went GREAT! My supervisor wrote me an e-mail full of amazing compliments.

I owe it all to my kids who were fantastic and on the ball today. Go 3rd period!

..They might get cookies.

Today we cut up newspapers and rearranged words to make new headlines. The kids are supposed to write the article to match.

This is what 2nd period came up with: "Madonna's steroid addiction", "Pirates chase Ron Paul", "Jack Black on crack", and "Children burn firefighters".

They are weird, violent little creatures. And I am so amused.

I taught my first round of lessons this week. It went really well! I totally heart my kids. 2nd and 4th periods really got into what I was teaching, and it was so cool. I'm also picking up teacher-y habits left and right. I'm exhausted but very happy. Yay!

I totally love my 8th graders!
They are *fabulous* kids.

I ran into two of them tonight... and they said "Hi Ms. V!"
It. Was. So. Cute.
They made my day.

YAY!

Dear period,

Your mom's a bitch and so are you.
