Creative!
Today I read The Nutcracker to my 2nd grade class. As I turned to the page where Godfather Drosselmeier gives the children their gifts, I pointed to the picture of Clara holding her gift and asked:
Me: Looking at the shape of the gift (long and thin), I'm wondering what Clara could have gotten from Godfather Drosselmeier. What do you think she received, based on what you see in the picture?
Student 1: Umm...I think maybe it's a flute!
Me: Oh, that's a good guess, because a flute is long and skinny, just like the present.
Student 2: It's a nutcracker!
Me: Hmm...maybe...
Student 3: Oh, I know! It's a sub sandwich!

Wish I Could Be More Ballsy
And just ask someone for their number. Why am I being so passive? I HATE passive people! Ugh. Definitely in a funk. :/

This Is a Really Great Song
Have you ever actually listened to all of the words in “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”?
You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
You really are a heel.
You’re as cuddly as a cactus
And as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch!
You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel!
You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch!
Your heart’s an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders.

And I'm Starting To Think
That the world needs to hear what I have to say. Not just my best friend in a car at 1:15am on excess booze, but people that don’t even know me. People who are lost and need to find their way. People who don’t even know they’re lost. That sounds quite pretentious, but maybe it doesn’t have to be seen that way. I just think sometimes people are so sad and they just...

Ok, ok
I may have blown things out of proportion JUUUUST a little. Here’s why:
1. I found my iPod! It was…in my coat pocket………I’d been wearing my fleece jacket for a while b/c the weather here is bipolar and one day it got real cold, so I wore my winter coat, put the iPod in there, and then hung the coat up in the coat closet when it went back to being warm-ish. ...

Uggghhhhh!!!!
So many things to be pissed/stressed about! First of all, I think either my iPod fell out of my pocket or someone stole it. I thought I brought it in my jacket pocket Friday to school, and there are times when I’m not in my room. I hate to be this way, but I’ve heard other teachers saying they’ve found things their kids have stolen and that just makes me LIVID. Now I...

Unraveling
I feel like I’m slowly, but surely, unraveling. There SO MANY things I need to do, but I don’t do them. I need a to do list stapled to my forehead. I’m starting to get really nervous about the first two days of school. I have it SOMEWHAT planned out, but not all the way. Instead of planning, I’ve been working on my room. Today I redid about 3 bulletin boards. I...

Tomorrow
I am meeting my mentor at 8:15am! I’m going to have to literally shoot up some caffeine in order to be awake for this, but it’s allll good. I’m looking forward to meeting her, she seems like she’s a pretty awesome person. Then later I’m going to Columbia to meet some friends and go out to have a last hurrah before we all start our big girl jobs/grad school. ...

I would usually probably make fun of you for doing arts and crafts, but I suppose there’s not much else to do in Jeff City. Also, um… I can pretty much just about completely read your debit card number… :P
Hahaha of the people who follow me, I knew you’d be the one to say something about that (the...
