So I just sent an email to bigplaid , signing off as "Apprentice to Char Aznable". With that, I log off and move to the basement to refill my coffee. The faculty room is right next to the Shop Class. I overhear the teacher telling the students "Don't worry. All of the Trojan Horses are sitting on the table. They're fine."

It's Time to Duel!
So I do a LOT of work in the school library for two reasons. 1: I share my lab with another teacher, and it's difficult to work when every available seat is taken up with sum childruns. 2: The lab has only stools and the library has cushioned seats that can swizzle round and round and round.

M-Day must have struck
Disclaimer: I did NOT harm Superman
Spent Halloween in the city. Most excellent. Killer party, killer concert (as in awesome, not "The Killers"), and killer costumes (literally in Lauren's case. She was a dinosaur!)
Overall though, the part that sticks out in my mind the most was the first thing that happened when we first arrived in the city. Disney ( Read more... ) -

Student Example Essay

Namely, any event that took place between me and students during transition times. These are poorly structured situations in which students are able to talk a little more freely amongst each other.

Blueberry dispute
This morning I made pancakes. Blueberry pancakes; very yum. Any way, as I was finishing up, there was a little too much batter left in the bowl to throw out, so I created an extra large pancake. In the infinite words of Captain Hector Barbosa: "Waste not." Pancakes finish, I begin plating.
Wife: What kind of freaky mutant pancake is that?
Me: Just ( Read more... )
