So the weekend rounded out well with John and Mike...hung out with just John last night, which was nice for a change. The two of them certainly are a little different when they're not together ;)...but then again, guys usually are, right? I have a blast with the two of them, and we laugh constantly...but sometimes it's just nice to have one-on- ( Read more... )

My paycheck was shorted about 1800...couldn't do anything about it Friday, so I get to wait until Tuesday and hope I get some money. This sucks. September 30 starts my normal contract moneys, so I shouldn't be shorted ever again (until next summer ( Read more... )

Last day of school for the week! I'm ALL ABOUT this three day weekend, even though I have to spend a good part of Saturday with some students doing showmanship practice and shearing animals (goats and sheep)...but Saturday night, Sunday and Monday are MINE! Soooooo stoked ( Read more... )

Well, most unexpected AND cool? At the beginning of my third period class (juniors/seniors), one of the parents walked in the back door...both her son and ( Read more... )

Result? My first period ( Read more... )

I'm getting into the process of the way things work around school, and I'm DEFINITELY going to be smooth sailing once the fair is over on October 5th. I'm quite confident in my abilities to teach and advise the FFA in its millions of activiites...fair and livestock are my main areas in the "I need to work on..." category. But, yeah, feeling good ( Read more... )

I had a blast today! The kids in the morning were dead to the world, and the kids in the afternoon were hyper...but I feel like we got off to a great start and a great year. Did the syllabus thing, some ice breakers, etc. I really enjoyed today! YAY! I am EXHAUSTED though...I remember that there was only one week during my student teaching ( Read more... )
