1. I sleep in (by choice) and subsequently got to school around seven this morning. That's crazy late for me! But I am so grateful for the extra sleep that I feel great for the day.
2. My first two hours fly by rather well. Then it's third hour.
3. Oh third hour. Not sure what was in the air today, but by far one of the funniest hours we've had all year. My face felt like it was about to break from all the smiling I was doing. I'm hopeful that we actually learned something during the hour, but, if not, at least we had a fun time. And if we did? Then holy cow! I need to figure out to have class like that every day.
4. Actually got a few things done during 4th hour today, and finally got it through a student's head that he really shouldn't pay me such excessive compliments. At least, I think I got it through his head. We'll see if he says his normal "Miss Martin, you're lookin' good today. That's really working for you."
You think it'd be rude to pretend to throw up when he says that? Just a thought.
5. Share my high school journal with my little Creeper and I have a great conversation with her. We chat about high school and high school relationships, learning from heartbreak, and the reality of love. I felt great about the conversation . . .
6. . . . that is, until I discovered that a student had eavesdropped on our conversation! Then that student got another student to ask me about a conversation I thought had been private! And of course that student had to ask about the specific phrase that would probably throw me off the most.
Ridiculous. I shall now have to watch everything I say in school because apparently little ears are always around the corner to catch anything that will fall in.
So besides that little annoyance, school was great today. I've been having a lot of fun lately. Seriously.
7. I got another note from a student! So happy! This note was more of a series of little notes (cute!) and they're definitely going to go with the other one. I'm starting a little file where I can keep meaningful notes from students and pull them out on a bad day.
And now, here's a present for my Little Creeper. She knows who she is.
30 Facts About MB
1. Even though it hurts, I love it when my cheeks are red and freezing because it makes me feel alive.
2. I do not like to be touched in any way (no hugs, or even a hand on the arm) by ANYONE unless it's someone I'm interested in/involved with romantically. This puzzles many people.
3. After being in theatre for most of my life, I no longer have any modesty. This makes some of my friends uncomfortable. Who needs closed doors or turned backs?
4. Very rarely does something I "love" stick around for good, for I'm always finding new things to enjoy and new interests; however, I've stuck with a very specific favorite salad dressing for five years now with no signs of getting bored. This = progress!

I like how open you are MB :) I can relate to several of your facts, but unlike you no one wants to hear me sing loudly to musicals, you have a great voice so I am excited you posted a few songs you and Shawn did. Hope to catch a quick hug (since you love them so much!) next time you are back :)
