dude, my dad has a blog.



in other news, i started fixing up my classroom today!!! there's lots to do and so much to clean and organize! some of my future students were at school helping out so i got to meet them. already some interesting comments came about:

- "so...you wear dunks? cool. got the fantastic 4's?"

- "hollister...cool."

- "you're not gonna leave are you? all the young teacher's we ever get leave eventually."

- "how old are you?"

- "you gotta watch out for all the gossip around here. it get's bad sometimes."

- "you're cool."

and my ultimate favorite:

- "see! i told you her name was ms. haw!!! you know, like 'haw, haw, haw'!!!" (ugh, flashbacks to gradeschool. perhaps i should stick with ms. h?)

i was there for about 5 hours and made just a small dent in what i have to do. i'm trying to figure out a way to paint the walls without having to move everything. AND i'm having a hard time deciding what colors to use!!! oh well...perhaps i'll peruse through the new ikea catalog to get some ideas.

i'm really excited for our visitors to come up here!!! i hope we do sf justice and that you guys won't be bored. bring jackets...it's a bit chilly!
