I may have to change my theme song to "I Will Survive" at some point this year. But seriously, it wasn't too bad today. It could have been worse. At least people listened to me when I needed them too. But it was SO STINKIN' LOUD. Loud in a positive way, but loud nonetheless. I was exhausted when the day ended. I love y'all. It's so good to ( Read more... )

So, I've been at school three days now. I have set up the desks in our classroom, and made seating charts for all the 10th grade classes. Y'all are gonna be mad at me, cuz the hobbits are all completely split up. Except Maggie and Connie, they're near each other. Ruthlyn is with Amanda Hobbs and Jennifer Schwartz and somebody else, I forget. ( Read more... )

Hey, y'all. I went to school yesterday and had lunch with all the new teachers, and "mentored" a bit with our new drama teacher, Ms. McNeil. She's done some really interesting stuff, I think you'll like her. She once taught English on a Cree Indian Reservation that you can only get to by plane. She's also done lots of Drama things. She seems ( Read more... )

I am so cruel to actually tell you about WORK two weeks before school starts. And you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT AT ALL, but I have the coolest idea for your first paper, and I just had to tell you about it. I also knew that Meghann would probably stress about it, and Ruthlyn would have to think and think, so I just wanted to get ( Read more... )

Meghann, I tried to call you earlier. No answer. What kind of weirdo doesn't have an answering machine? ANYWAY, I talked to Mr. Bennett today. He wants me to be the "mentor" for the new drama teacher, so I was able to get a littl info. She is in her early thirties, and is here on some sort of international program from Canada. Mr. Bennett ( Read more... )

K. The beach was awesome, and I almost decided to go get a job at the sno-cone stand and never come back again - but the thought of your cute little faces pulled me back again. (That and the $4.75 an hour sno-cone position). Only a few more weeks of summer, and I am so not ready. Somebody catch me up. You all have your schedules - do you all ( Read more... )

OK, Y'all. Not cool news. Mr. Gall called me last night. He was talking to Mr. Goldman, who was at school yesterday and heard that Ms. Hulcher was not coming back. Something about her husband getting a job in another town. I probably shouldn't tell you when I haven't heard for sure, and I intend to get to the bottom of it when I return from ( Read more... )
