And Happy Ever After!

Go you! I was most impressed with ITW - y'all have really come a long way. Of course, all of you were delightful, but I was really blown away by Ryan and Maggie. WOW! Your souls were poured into your parts, and it was obvious. Even Goldman (when he wasn't snoring behind me) noticed it and commented. "Ryan Allen really has talent and ( Read more... )

1. Yeah. . . everyone's performance was quite impressive if I do say so myself.
2. Maggie's cape ruled all capes.
3. I agree- more trees.
4. Freshmen punks-such rebels! There's no controlling them!
5. I want a CD from Paul's dad too!
6. Mr. Goldman must have zoned out on the Snow White/Sleeping Beauty part- I know I did.
7. some of the songs were a bit too long.
8. One of Martin's last lines, "I think I see a glimmer.". . .as he points outward. . .that was a very unMartin line.
9. yes everyone was definitely rockin' in contrast to the performance I saw last week.

Hi Mrs. Hernandez. This is Kristen Bailey, one of the "punk kids." I really did not know that was your seat, and I really am sorry. I'm a freshman, and if I have you as a teacher in years to come, I don't want to be on your bad side. Please forgive me, and my friends, for accidently taking your seat. I also am sorry for the little comments we made during Act 2. It was rude of us.
Sorry again.

Have a nice evening,
Kristen

Thank you for the apology Kristen. I forgive you. And I'm sure you didn't mean it. In all honesty, I prefer "punk kids" despite the seemingly derogatory label. They are much more interesting, open-minded, and fun, and I'm actually looking forward to having y'all next year - you seem like neat people! I guess I have to be more careful when I post things on livejournal, I wasn't thinking about how everyone can read it. People don't get on my "bad side", I try to be very open. But, I was quite distracted by all the talking, and thought several times about asking that entire group to leave, it seemed obvious that several were not interested in the play. Forgive ME for being so candid, I shouldn't seem to judge and label, when I was really just annoyed because it didn't seem like you (not you specifically, your group) was taking the play seriously, and I've noticed that theater etiquette seems to be lacking in GHS. Try not to think badly of ME before you know me, and I will promise to do the same for you. Consider the episode ( ... )

13) Some freshmen punk people tried to take my seat after the fire drill, and I yelled at them and banished them to the other side of the auditorium, and they whispered: "Who's that lady" to the ones that knew who I was. I felt powerful, and pissed that they tried to take my seat, and then were all like, "oh, we're sorry - we didn't know!"
14) Mr. Goldman was snoring in Act II, and the punk kids were talking, and it was very distracting.I will go along with Kristen. I am Tracy Austin. Another one of your so called "punk-kids". I didn't mean to try to take your seat, I apologize that the fire drill led to some misunderstanding but feeling powerful, what is it to you to think your powerful? Just because your older and "wiser" doesn't give you the right to feel that you rule over 14 and 15 year olds. We didn't know it was your seat, you don't have to be so rude about it, its a simple misunderstanding. Also the whole punk kids thing. You have no room to judge us or label us thinking that you know who we are. By the way. I go to Freeman ( ... )

Thanks for your opinion gwyndolen June 15 2003, 16:29:31 UTC

Nice to meet you, Tracy. Considering how you do not know me AT ALL, I don't exactly see how YOU have the right to interpret my rambling (which I assumed was "hobbits-only access" anyway), into some sort of teacher being on a power trip thing. Yes, I commented that I feel powerful. If you were a member of my class, you would know that I have somewhat of a reputation for being reserved, meek, kind, and just a little bit too nice. I rarely punish people, nor do I often boss them around. I treat them with respect, as equals, and as adults. When, however, I feel that I am not being treated with respect, I tend to retaliate, and when I feel that my students are being disrespected(as I did by the way those you were seated with behaved during the performance), I am even less tolerant. From the beginning of the play, the people that were sitting in your group were VERY distracting. I am not accusing you, because I don't even know who YOU are, but I was continually bothered by whispering, laughing, climbing over seats, eating candy, and ( ... )
