Anna.

Hoffer is a beast at blogging. I, on the other hand, am not. I am, however, a beast at being tall, so you can still feel free to be jealous.

JANA- I like your pictures on your blog. Lots. That is all.

So I took what I thought was going to be a 2 week position at a middle school where I've been filling in for a friend who is on maternity leave. As it turns out, I'll be staying until the end of school which is pretty cool. I'll be getting teacher's pay for 1 1/2 weeks which is significantly better than substitute pay. Looks like the Explorer will be able to get completely fixed now.

Subbing at the middle school is pretty tough, actually. There's so much drama. Sooo many girls crying who want to sit in the office to cool off. There are 3 girls in the building who are pregnant. Two are 7th graders and one is an 8th grader. It's very different from the elementary schools I've been subbing at, but it can be a lot of fun, too. They started naming random objects in the room. The wall is Wallace, the floor is Floorace, the door is Doorace, etc. They named me "Lois" because I'm low. Ha. So I started giving them old people names. I hope I don't die in the next 2 1/2 weeks.

I also found out I may be babysitting for my favorite 5 year old all summer. I won't know for sure for awhile, but I hope this works out. He's gonna wear me out, but I think we'll have tons of fun. I plan on going on tons of fun trips with my little pal, Cade. He says things like, "Anna, I believe I should go hunt an elephant," and "I'm a real cowboy!" Awesome.

Well, I really should start grading more tests so I don't have a freakout Monday morning when I don't have them to pass out. No wonder my friend (and their teacher) gave them so many free points. All of them would fail with the exception of 2 or 3 people. Someone got a 5%. That's with them having the study guide knowing that it contains the test questions. Oh well.

Hope the weekend is treating you all amazingly.

  1. You should also point out that this person managed to earn a 5% knowing full well that he could have earned an extra 25% in extra credit just for answering an opinion question.

  2. You should go elephant hunting. It's a good time.
