You get what you ask for...
Okay y'all, so I started my teaching gig again. My eyes are stinging from being open wayyyyy too early this morning. When I looked at the clock, it said 5:15 (good heavens) and then when I walked into the living room and turned on the tube (my morning ritual) it said 4:59. Oh hells no! I do not do anything or time with a 4 in front of it. 4 is for sleeping, 4 is for head thrown back, mouth open, crusty eyes sleeping--okay actually I don't sleep that ugly. I'm more the hair laid out on the pillow behind me, mouth closed, gentle wistful snores. Okay, so you caught me, so I really don't know but doesn't the second description sound better?
Anyway, went to class, met my students, one is a girl who used to be the receptionist at my old job. Total conflict of interest because I LOVE her! She is the sweetest. But I promise not to show her any preferential treatment.
Moving on...I had kids fill out index cards and write 1 or 2 sentences on the back about writing. I want to make fun of them because they are filled (well 70% of them) with pitiful (capital P) grammar but I won't cuz I'm feeling kind-hearted today. However, I told them to write anything and I got one that read, "Writing is all right." How do you respond to sump'n like that? On the other hand I start my writing class tonight. Let you know how it goes. It better be good since I'm sacrificing my dorky dance show.

good luck! :) and i concur. 4 is for sleeping. heh.
I agree with that kid your class, "writing is all right." I kid my friends that I don't think I would make a good teacher, 'cause I don't think I could keep from laughing at some of the dumb shit kids do.
I used to laugh at my students all the time and they loved it! Over half of them will probably be permanent scarred from my insensitivity but we all have our issues, right? :)
