Websites is fun

So, I've known for a few weeks now that our school is phasing out the middle school, so that in three years we'll be just a high school. I thought it was kind of weird that nobody was freaking out. Turns out that nobody was supposed to know -- apparently it was very "hush-hush." Being the freak with a classroom near to the principal -- where apparently, everyone feels the need to have top-secret meetings -- I must have just overheard it at some point. Thinking that everybody knew, I didn't feel compelled to spill the beans.

Surprisingly, nobody was terribly upset. For myself, I kind of went. . .hmm, that's really far away, which is where I plan to be when the actual COMPLETE CONVERSION begins.

Conversation of the day:
Me: Why do you think you're all being held after school?
D: Because we were talking and disruptive during class.
Me: Were you?
E: Because none of us did the do now?
Me: Is that why?
A: Because we were running around the classroom and yelling?
Me: Were all of you doing that?
DH: Because we're all failing?
E: Hey, I'm here, too.
D: How much does your computer cost?
Me: Can we focus here?
A: I think we're all here because you're lonely and need someone to hang out with after school.
Me: I think I can find people I'd rather hang out with.
A: Really? 'Cuz no offense, miss, but you're getting kind of old.
E: It's hard to get men at your age.

You see what I have to deal with on a regular basis?

Other side note: "One Semester of Spanish Spanish love Song" and "Que Hora Es?" are the two best videos on Youtube. if you haven't seen them, check it out. I mean immediately.

Signing out!

Okay, Serious Post

So I'm looking through the LSDA, checking out different law schools, and now I have a warning for all young men and women currently in college: 

STUDY HARD.
GET GOOD GRADES.
DON'T TAKE ANY GENETICS COURSES.

Because now I'm looking at the median GPAs for people going to the schools that I want to go to and. . .it's not looking good. And don't get me wrong, I'm not looking at Harvard or Yale or anything. . .just every other top ten school. And I fall SQUARELY in the median GPA range. WHich means no guaranteed admission, unless I BEAT on the LSAT.

So am I studying for it? No, of course not. Instead, I am revising a curriculum map. And watching How I Met Your Mother- because it is, get this, LEGENDARY. 

And if you don't understand that last sentence, you must watch the show.

Question of the day: how can a room full of educated people argue LOUDLY about semantics for thirty minutes? Semantics. I am serious.

P.S. - Macs are evil. Ever since I got mine I can't get away from the computer. The screen is so big and beautiful. . .everything is so compact. . .it WORKS.

And I officially just became a bigger dork than even I was earlier. Sigh. Back to work.

What is this???

So I was trolling around on the internet, trying to procrastinate from writing summer assignments for my students, and suddenly google threw this website at me. And I went. . ."HOLLA! It's my old blog!"

So we shall see. Perhaps I will update the blog again. I should. Because I am amazing, and other amazing people should (and must!) want to read about my amazing life.

So I SHOULD make this first (new) post amazing, but all that I did today was sit in a pointless PD. All day long. I wrote half a curriculum map. And continued to bear the brunt of the longest running inside joke of the world. Which isn't even funny.

Not that anyone will read this or know, but. . .NO MORE KABIA JOKES! Jeez.

On a happier note: How I Met Your Mother! Amazing!

Miss you. Random post. Must get back into this. Will get better. Promise.
