question
how did i live in Albion michigan for four years, a town of 10,000, and never now that malcolm x lived there as a little boy? i mean - how few things does that town have to boast about? his family moved there before they lived in east lansing where his father was killed. his family chose albion because it was a STOP on the UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. How did i never know this? GAH. my education can't be complete.
and here is proof i am a total genius. i had a new student, terryana, in one class, so i gave her a seating assignment. now, at one table, i have terry, terica, and terryana. SMMMMAAART.
also, we played a great game of 2 truths and a lie in one class for a 'team building' activity (thank you Success for All). so it surfaces that one of my student's fathers has gotten into a physical fight with both Spongebob and Tony the Tiger. i asked rico why he fought the tiger, and he said "cuz he scared me. tony said 'hellllooooo' and i cried, and my dad said 'you ain't gonna scare my son, tony!'"
also, one of my kids said one of his things was "my cousin got into a fight with pastor troy." so when i was repeating it to my kids before we voted, and i said, "so alex's cousin got into a fight with a pastor." the kids looked at me and laughed hard and long. pastor troy is a rapper.
i can't be expected to keep up with all this.
my homeroom has created a grid like matrix that matches all the boys and girls in the class and rates the cuteness associated with that possible couple. the scale is this
0 - illegal
1-5 - ugly
6-9 - fine
10-14 - sexy
15 - damn
i had a meeting with my financial adviser today. only in my life can one follow a day filled with cereal mascot fighting anecdotes with financial planning. now i'm saving even more money for my retirement. but it might be nice to have some money now, too...
