Random Tid Bits

1. It's been an odd few weeks. I'm still so tired from different people in my family getting sick. This back and forth weather doesn't help. Classes started up again a few weeks ago, my first year students actually do much more work than expected, so I've pumped up my lectures more.


2. It has been rough with emotions. I found out that a student tried to commit suicide. This student is so nice, so in tuned with what I'm teaching, empathetic towards others, and I've been worried about her. It's not about school, it's the fact that she lives with an ex. Don't let teens live with their boyfriends. I've seen over and over again break-ups happen, and then disaster strikes. 


3. Yesterday I thought we were triple booked. Nope! Mica's school had an Open House. I was excited to see what he's been up to. We got there, and one of Mica's teacher's said, "Hi! You guys look familiar. Mica congrats on the award you got! So you guys just looking at this middle school for your other one?" I said, "Yes." Then I understood that it was a recruiting Open House, not an Open House to see the classrooms. I asked Isaak if he wants a tour. He didn't, so we left. Off to a library to wait for basketball practice to start, since it too is in the same part of town. 


4. At the library I spotted a book one of my friends wrote and illustrated. Kind of cool! It's the Time Shifters one.





5. I also saw that one of my past students did this hilarious video. Note it's much funnier with the sound up! Yes there's butts in it, so if you're not ok with that then don't watch it. It got so many hits, that someone wrote about it here. I was laughing so hard with the boys when we watched it! Are you just as immature as me, and think this video is funny?
