Tuesday Tell-All

*I start my clinical observations today at the high school. If it’s anything like last semester, where I watched high school seniors draw pictures of the ghosts in Macbeth, it will be a “scathing indictment of the public school system” (as is said multiple times on Big Bang Theory). But I’m always holding out hope …

*It’s raining today. Love that! *I’ve been re-moved to yet another corner at my work (except it looks like this will be my permanent corner). It’s kind of great, except for the fact that when about 3:00 hits, the sun is directly in my eyes and it’s about a million degrees. But other than that, …

*You wanna know the best thing ever? To open up your lunch (packed by your husband) to find a heartfelt little love note tucked inside. Matt, you are the sweetest hubby ever 🙂 *So Matt packs my lunch every morning. And BOY does that man know how to pack a good lunch: he always includes a …

Well, what I didn’t …

*Well folks, it’s here: the new semester, complete with new pens, new textbooks, and a not-so-new 5-subject notebook. School is a glorious thing. *2 of the 3 classes that I actually have to show up for (my 4th class is online) are classes that are entirely about how to assess students (aka how to write …

*I have been almost too busy at work to blog lately. That is NEWS, people. BIG news. Let’s CAPITALIZE things news. *School starts in six days. AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 *(I think I’m feeling so hyper due to the Diet Dr. Pepper I’m allowing myself to indulge in while I type) *The only reason I …
