Today I am subbing for a Special Ed teacher. The Special Ed classes are simply classes for students with learning disabilities or severe emotional problems.

My first period class right now has only four students and there is an instructional assistant in the class as well, which means there is a 1:2 teacher to student ratio. Not bad, not bad at all...

Not only does every class have about eight kids or less, but I am done by lunch today! Whoo hoo!

I rode my bike to work and a kid just informed me that it is supposed to rain today. I really hope it is not raining when I have to go home!

Riding my bike is about 2 minutes faster than driving my car. Isn't that crazy? I don't usually wait for stop lights on my bike, so that gives me the edge.

This my bike! Well, this particular picture is not MY bike per se, but mine is the same color, same gears, everything. My seat is lower, though, and my handlebars have red tape on them, not grey. It's pretty bad-ass, and I feel great cruising around town, passing cars on the street, listening to my iPod. My good friend Dave, who sells pistachios at the farmer's market, gave it to me. He has a tendency to collect things like squirrels collect nuts.
