i should get a medal
Today one of my eighth grade boys came to visit me last period. He wears his pants belted ridiculously low -- so low even I think it's inappropriate, and I am extremely laid back about these things compared to all the other teachers at my school. (Not about the baseball caps indoors, though. Don't even get me started on the baseball caps indoors).
Anyway, he tripped on the cuff of his pants and then stepped on them and fell, arms pinwheeling wildly -- he managed to catch himself, but his pants fell off completely. Like, puddled around his ankles. And of course he has the skinniest little chicken legs you've ever seen . . . I almost ruptured something trying not to laugh.
In other exciting events, my eighth grade boy who got into LaGuardia took his placement tests over the weekend and he qualified for the Honors track in English. I am so proud. He got a 39/40 on his essay. So at least I've done something right the last two years.
There was a lot of other drama at my school today, but I am ignoring it in favor of the awesome. Today was a Good Day, and it's going to be a Good Week, dammit. Whether it wants to be or not!
