Lazy, Lazy, Lazy.

Hi. I am back and in charge. I am sorry for the few days of no blogging. I was actually quite busy with work. I was excited to go back on Thursday even though I still did not feel 100%. I actually kept telling people all day, when they asked me how I was, that I was about 65%. I had to sit down a few times in class because I felt a little week. It was an adventure. I really do love my job. I am always reminded just how much as I go through the first few days of teaching. I love my students. They are so cool. I am lucky to work with such awesome young people.

Here is two of the funniest things that happened this week in class:

1. As I was coming into Boys PE 6th hour yesterday, two students were also entering the gym. One looks at me and says: "So, will you really be doing drug testing in this class this year?" (I guess the rumors have been going around) I answered by saying: "Oh yes, in fact we will be doing urine tests today. I hope you are ready to fill the cup!" By the time I was done taking attendance about five of the boys had asked if we really were doing drug testing in class that day. I found it very funny how trusting they are of me at times but at other times will not even believe things that make sense and are true.

2. Many of this kids kept asking me if Dodgeball had been outlawed. I thought this was interesting and asked where they had heard it. They said the History intern had told them. I went and talked to said teacher and sure enough he had said that just to torture his students and to be funny because they had kept asking if he would let them go play on Fridays. When the kids were asking again in PE on Friday if we were going to play Dodgeball, I told them that only kids not in History could play. It was pretty funny to listen to them complain that, that wasn't fair. Yet again they believed me. Silly kids.

Yesterday, I got to feeling very good. It was good to feel better and to be at school and of course, Fridays are always better than any other day. Hopefully my good attitude will continue and the students will not get bad; they are pretty calm and good the first week as they test the waters!

I am being very, very lazy today.

Well, happy weekend to you all. Sister, I am so glad you are blogging. I hope you will get the bug completely and I will be getting to be in your world via your page! If you all are interested in the Meyer Nuthouse, visit their blog. I listed it on the side of my page!
