We have a serious problem. (I think this sentence actually still worked with my typo "We have a series problem")

What kind of weirdo schedules a bridal shower for the same day as the release of the final Harry Potter book?
I might have to get the book on tape to keep me entertained on the drive back up North.

Gah!

I don't think she is in the "Harry Potter" circle that we are, so it probably didn't cross her mind. In fact, she may be sufficiently outside that circle to not even know there is a 7th Harry Potter book, that it is in fact the final book of the series, or that it is going to be released the same day as her bridal shower.

On that note, did you get my e-mail about being up north the 23rd-27th?

How did you get on the roof?

I sympathize with the fireworks. Our downstairs neighbors were attempted to light our apartment on fire until about 11 last night. Luckily we were up anyway playing the new Mario Party. But there were a few large "booms" that concerned me.

As for the teaching, I agree self-contained is better, but if they're taking the time to plan periods, my guess is that is what they're going to do. I'll hope for Math for you.

Yes, I will be up North then too!

We used a ladder.

Well, the teachers are planning periods, because we all want to make things more fair for all the split classes and want to be "more effective." Unfortunately, the administration is very much against classes larger than 28. Our plan right now has math classes about 20, but the LA and Social Studies classes end up closer to 36. If we get just a few more students...our numbers will be huge and the whole schedule would need to be re-worked. Re-working things mid-year just makes everyone confused and angry. It gives people the impression that we are unprofessional and unorganized.

In truth, I don't know why I like to teach Math so much, I've never been a Math-monkey.

I'm too hungry to respond adequately, so I'll just say that after reading this I now want bananas.

[moo_c]

I have bananas. I put them in the freezer because the last time I made fried bananas, they were soggy. I soon realized I did not have enough oil to make fried bananas, so now they are brown, scary and hard.

I've actually decided that the voice of the guy who does the books on tape is rather pleasant. But I can't ingest them any other way than by reading.

[moo_c]

Yes, I am afraid that if I am listening to them, I'll space out and get lost. Worth a shot though.
