Song of the Day: "Fashion is my Cryptonite"
For a little over a year now I've been listening to AM radio, because my FM doesn't work.... and I've been exposed to a Christian talk station, as well as the ESPN station. Those are the two I usually stick to. However yesterday I fell upon Radio Disney. I truly feel it allows me to connect better with my younger students. This song played yesterday and this morning on my way to work. Favorite line "Walk, walk, work it right, fashion is my cryptonite." This will be my mantra of the week.
Mishap of the day: Copy Machine War
Thank goodness I got to make some essential copies this morning before my epic battle with the copy machine. I had about 2 hours of prep this morning because it's a short day today.... I went back to make some less urgent/important copies, and the copy machine almost exploded. This thing is huge people... we're talking bigger than a golf cart! It jammed a couple of times, and on the ultra-technological touch screen I had flashing red lights showing me which compartments were jammed with paper. The first time there were 5 papers jammed in 5 different locations. No big deal, after reaching into deep, dark places with my dainty hands (we all know how gargantuous they are), I managed to get the thing to stop flashing and beeping. So I pressed start again, and lo and behold... the thing jams again. This time in 3 places. I did this twice and then gave up. There were other people in the room, thankfully someone helped me... but if no one had been there, I can't promise that I wouldn't have kicked the darn thing!
Conversation of the day: "Do you sing?"
At the end of class, one student asked me if I sang. I laughed and said "No, do you?". The student did express interest and love for music & singing and stated: "The reason why I said that is because when you said "TYPOOOOO", your vibrato was wonderful". TALK ABOUT A PICK-ME-UP! There was a mega-typo in a homework assignment, so I basically said "TYPOOO" and in a high voice. Who knew someone might find that beautiful?!?
In other news... have I yet shared that I am hosting two little African Dwarf aquatic frogs in my classroom? They are so incredible! They just swim around in their little aquarium, and there's a snail in there to keep things clean. I had a class competition and the winning names for my two froggies are: Snoop Frogg & Mr. T. The snail will be named Sheldon after Dr. Sheldon Cooper, world renown scientist from 'The Big Bang Theory'. I love teaching high school kids!
