Good Lord, people!

Apparently some junior high girls that I taught last year got ahold of my phone number and decided that last night was the perfect opportunity to leave me 27 prank calls. I'm assuming they stopped either because they used up ALL of my voice mail space or it was something like 2 in the morning. After the third call I turned my phone off and when I got up this morning my voice message lady told me, "You have 24 new messages."

But honestly, it made me smile.

I know I haven't posted in a while. Honestly, I'm tired of school and all I really want to do is be taking pictures. All the time. Here's one I took yesterday:


Cool, huh? But I am still teaching every day. Our school got canceled two days last week during the crazy crazy fires that happened. If you read the news, you heard about the fires. So I had a nice four day weekend.

I'm writing because this kid today in my fourth period class just said some ridiculous stuff that I thought I would share with you. First of all, he has this terrible attitude every single day. He's not dumb and he's not poor. He just "hates math." His attitude causes him to give up so easily on stuff that I know he can do.

Anyways, today before class I was just talking to him and trying to encourage him a little. I told him I thought he could do everything that we've been doing so far. I said he's got to enjoy it a little because he's going to be taking math for the next four years. This was his response:

"If I had a choice between taking math for the next four years or slitting my wrists, I would slit my wrists."

What the heck, man!??! Geez
