tuesday

Best student quotes of the week thus far:

"I don't want to be a clown when I grow up. I would look ridiculous. Where can I get a clown suit?" -G 2nd grader

"I read in five places that the world is going to end in 2012." -R 3rd grader

"Oh, dear." -D kindergardener



It's a wonderful tuesday.

time could have been

One good thing about next week is that I'll be venturing out to Vision Quest 09'(more quest like, less visionary). The bad thing is, I won't have my bestie with me AND all of the road shows I'll be missing due to SXSW. The band I'm missing that really BUMS me out is DEVO. Plus, the whole SXSW experience. Lately, I feel like a dried up forty year old who's asleep by ten, and can barely stay awake past eleven. I've had a big hankerin to just have a drink with friends, and listen to some rock n' roll. Audrey: while scrolling through everything I'll be missing I saw that Billy Roy, your ex-landlord, is playing this weekend and found these killer photos:




This is the most important thing I'll be missing.
But I'll be thinking of you while I'm here:

sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet

Today:
Long story short, I and the other EBD teacher got called down to the office to restrain a violent student who had already left school, and was brought back by a police officer. After 45 minutes of restraining said student, we were all sweaty, exhausted, bruised, bitten and spat upon. I got a bite to the shoulder, several poundings on the top of my foot by his feet, and hocked up on two or three times on my shoes(I lost count). Our principal called the same police officer to come back to the school to possibly talk to him and calm him down(i.e. scare him about juve) since we were getting no where. The student had run out of energy for thrashing at this point. Little did I know that this freshly turned ten year old was pretty strong and could do quite a pounding on a twenty-seven year old. It took three grown ass women to restrain him. Several hours later, after dealing with other student meltdowns, the doctor's visit, I have no broken bones in the foot but just major swelling and bruising. Thanks to their x-ray I did find out that I HAD broken my foot 5 years back during the worst summer of my life(I didn't have insurance at the time). Most of you know what I'm talking about. Yesterday I found out I might be getting a kindergartner who is a selective mute(refuses to talk-but CAN) and has begun to expose himself to other children.
So now, I am going to watch this with my foot propped up

Just some particulars I'm enjoying lately.

My life.....

in January and February, in 3 minutes. January was a pretty boring month, so I just added it on with my February life footage. Not as great as past months, but I was in a hurry. Enjoy.
