You've captured the zeitgeist there, girl... Lovely phrase.
It sounds like you were born for the job. Well, that your character and life experience have trained you wonderfully well for it. In six months I expect you'll be running the place.
I wonder if I can get my daughter to do a guest post on her drama classes... 24323. thoughtful - 9/3/2008 1:41:30 PM congrats ms no! Nothing like finding a job you'd be happy to do for nothing and getting paid to do it besides! Sounds like a perfect match up. I'm so pleased for you! 24324. Jenerator - 9/3/2008 7:23:59 PM Ms No - great news! I am really happy for you. The kids are lucky to have such an ethusiastic teacher who has a real heart for kids. This is going to be a great year for you and for them! 24325. anomie - 9/3/2008 8:41:49 PM Ms No, My high school drama teacher is one of the few I actually remember after 35 years. Must have been all the performance-demonstration stuff. Congrats, and I too think your students are lucky to have you. They will surely remember you in Hollywood and on Broadway! 24326. Ms. No - 9/3/2008 10:14:21 PM Ha!
Tomorrow some of them are going to hate me and I have to say I'm rather pleased about it.
I finally have some clarification from administration about school policy and what I can dictate in my room. Not to mention that I finally got a copy of the school handbook AND I got my student roster.
Oh, woe to them. Assigned seating, class rules and more written work.
They'll be glad when Tuesday comes around and the sub lets them watch video. I'll be out most of the day at orientation for the district, but I'll be back in time for my fifth period lovelies.
heh, heh, heh 24327. anomie - 9/3/2008 10:17:13 PM What power! Don't let it corrupt (or disappoint) you, Ms No. It is ephemeral. 24328. anomie - 9/3/2008 10:54:16 PM One of those happy accident shots from the Chicago wedding:
 24329. anomie - 9/3/2008 10:56:06 PM I have no fucking idea why that's so pixelated! Those are shadows, but you can't really tell from this. 24330. anomie - 9/3/2008 10:58:48 PM 
24331. anomie - 9/3/2008 11:13:49 PM 
24332. anomie - 9/3/2008 11:14:31 PM Ah, a little better from Flickr. 24333. anomie - 9/3/2008 11:15:35 PM 
24334. anomie - 9/3/2008 11:18:39 PM Sorry about all that fuss, but I thought this was a very cool, (lucky!) shot. 24335. judithathome - 9/3/2008 11:37:27 PM It's fabulous! 24336. anomie - 9/4/2008 12:27:21 AM As are you, Judith! Thanks.
24337. Ms. No - 9/4/2008 5:32:37 AM What a wonderful shot, Anomie! Lucky indeed --- but what a good eye to have caught it! 24338. judithathome - 9/4/2008 2:49:27 PM I went to see the baby yesterday. She's adorable and has the knack already of arching one eyebrow like a seasoned skeptic! I'm loving this little cynic! 24339. arkymalarky - 9/4/2008 11:44:27 PM How neat, Judith! 24340. arkymalarky - 9/4/2008 11:51:58 PM No, that's a great description of your first day! Are you going to keep a journal of the year? I want to keep one of my last year, if I know when I'm in it. If your first year is like most, it'll be hard to make time for it, but you'll never forget it. After 28 years, my first year is the clearest of all of them. I'll be interested to see if by the end of the year 5th period isn't your favorite group.
Sounds like you're off and running. I'm no expert, but email me if you're ever inclined. 24341. arkymalarky - 9/4/2008 11:53:00 PM That is a great picture, Anomie!
