SO today was totally fun and not just 'cuz it was Friday. I went to bed super early last night (collapsed on my couch at six and didn't wake up until 5 this morning!) so I made it to school in time to get this killer lesson together: i.e. showed the kids picture of downtown Dallas and had 'em pick out rectangular prisms to see if they knew what they were. Then I had a box that was cut into flat pattern and had the kids figure out what it would look like if it were folded (had the two worst kids hold the huge box up and the rest of class estimate the surface area, etc), passed around a cube and an rp and had them describe the similarities/differences, AND lastly they worked in groups and each kid had to come up with a different r.prism flat pattern, calculate the surface area, cut it out, and fold it up correctly. It was a TOTAL blast!

Anyway, during lunch I went to go bug Ray again (he makes me laugh) since he's the teacher monitor during lunch. I saw a teacher pull this kid by the collar who was like, "HEY MISTER, I have B Lunch not A lunch", I was laughing so hard I was almost crying as this kid protested all the way down the hallway.

"dont you have a mute button kid?" I said laughing.

"Hey miss, I have b lunch not A lunch.." Trying to appeal to the woman in the bunch. Bout this time, the principal shows up and escorts the kid to lunch.

Right after that another kid shows up with a sob story to talk Ray into letting him go this locker to which the teacher responds, "Not my problem." I burst out laughing.....awesomest line EVER! I used it in fifth period when I gave a quiz (they could use the notes yesterday) and they didn't show up with them.....it was beautiful!

And I ended up writing two kids up today! This girl was causing problems (got out of her seat four times, threw stuff across the room, and was talking loudly.). I told her there's the door, if she can't do what's expected of her she can leave. Then I wrote her ass up.........it was beautiful!

Then sixth period I had a kid smash a cube (yes the cube I spent bout ten minutes building that morning) against another kids head) so I had her thrown out! It was SO much fun.........kid got suspended. Now if they'd just send her off to alternative school! One of my other kids got suspended by another teacher for shoving him......on the downside: alternative school kids are coming back(yucks!).

And the day got even better when I ended up only having seventh period for like 45 minutes 'cuz we passed out report cards today! After that, a kid stayed and help me count books so I could turn in all 300 by Sunday and I even got grading done! In the midst of all, Matt called and we're hooking up tomorrow night (two of my oldest, bestest guy friends from high school are going to hang out with me. I can FINALLY enjoy my weekend and not worry bout school stuff until Monday night! yes..........).

Now if Wiley would just leave me alone..........I swear somebody told him I liked him again b/c all of a sudden he keeps hanging out in my room, GRRRRRRS! I don't even flirt/look/spend time with the guy. He just came and sat in my room for an hour this afternoon: I didnt even TALK to the kid......I swear!

Anyway, I'm off to go running (think I bruised my foot somehow.....it sure hurts) but I really, really wanna stay in shape since I havent been eating the best of food this week.

So first week of school turned out alright.......Monday will be the challenge when I get observed by the math superintendant.....hah.......scary!
