How Scattered Am I ?
Well, the first real week is over. It was only four days, but I think it counts. Let me sum up the week's events in a series of short, scattered, grammatically-questionable statements.The kids are great, they make me laugh. The physics classroom is my personal stage and I have a captive audience for all of my fabulous wit (read: terrible jokes). I've never been this tired. The week is more fun than the weekend. I'm (possibly) deathly allergic to something but I don't know what. Until I find out what it is, I'm walking around with an auto-injector of epinephrine in my pocket. I'm trying a new strategy in Chemistry: Really boring typed lecture notes on powerpoint. I'm having to figure out exactly how I'm going to grade (with points and stuff). The great thing about that is the more complicated my grading scheme, the more latitude I have to mess with it. I went and sat by the sea yesterday, it made a nice sound when the water drew back over the rocks. I like living by the sea, except I like it when there's stuff there. Open expanses of horizon and beaches aren't for me. No, I like my sea to be full of boats and bridges, islands and inlets. That's why I love the Pacific Northwest. I'm hungry and probably not eating enough. Going to the doctor informed me of my current weight, which, Grandma's urging aside, I must admit is a bit low. My car hasn't been stolen yet. I might get to sub for middle school french classes in a couple of weeks when most of my students are gone on their "Outdoor Education" week. I haven't had to deal with any parents yet. My favorite pub is no longer my favorite pub because they got rid of Pilsner Urquell and replaced it with Carlsburg. Ick.
Next post I'll try to eat lunch before sitting down to type!
