I don't have time to post this or freedom to really explain what it's all about. but after thinking I would make it through the year drama-free I just stepped in a heaping pile of it. And it's my fault. I should have been more careful and realized my audience. I tell the kids all the time, remember who will be seeing what you write. I've been ( Read more... )

Promised students I'd go to the boys soccer game at 7:00. but i just opened a frosty Cold Ones. What to do!

In other news we were rocking the Walt Whitman today. Next week, e.e. cummings. I'm so excited!

I know I should post about me, but this is far better than me. For my poetry unit I was looking up this lady who did an excellent spoken word work with lots of fun allusions (our lesson tomorrow is about allusions) and then I found this. This is for Meg and Mom, lovers of the dachsund.

Okay, I'm really cranky. I just don't want to go to school anymore. I mean my school, not the other school I'll be going to soon! And I'll tell you why! Because today I planned an outside activity for my study hall, a time of waste, of boredom in a quiet room. I told them in advance and they said they were excited.

It's official. I accepted admission to Georgia. My head is now spinning with decisions about where to live, when to move, what classes to take, what kind of job to get for the summer, etc. And on top of that I have to chaperone the prom next weekend. I've grown spoiled in my huge house and working adult paycheck, but I called my old landlord ( Read more... )

These days I pick my spring break locale based on where I can sleep for free, and I hadn't seen Heather and Cristy and Mike in about three years. In fact, Cristy and Mike were the ones who waved me off at . . .I think it was 3 in the morning or something like that. . .so I could get the ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in a while and that is largely because I should have chosen not to do another show. The last one nearly killed me, but when I took a part in Vagina Monologues I didn't think it would take up that much time. Except I also was researching a play I've never taught before, and grading my kids research projects, and doing my taxes, ( Read more... )

I wanted to share my new favoritest song with you. My school had their annual evening with the arts, and all were wonderful, but someone put the piano solo on Youtube and it is wonderful.

The play is over and I chose today to recuperate at home. It was good getting to see family and friends, but all I wanted was some alone time with my coffee. And the end of the Deathly Hallows; I love it more the 2nd time! But anyways, in an attempt at work I'm preping for the end of my drama unit and I want to prove to the kids that reading ( Read more... )
