Nothing too noteworthy has happened as of late, mostly
because I’ve been busy transitioning to teaching without technology since my computer
and projector are still down. It’s kind
of fun, pretending that I’m teaching in pioneer times-- I haven’t channeled Laura
Ingalls Wilder since childhood. (Okay, maybe since adolescence. Okay, maybe any time my power goes out at
school or at home.) But here is a little
anecdote about Nutella, state testing, the movie Bridesmaids, and me
being weird.
Testing season is already getting to me.
Earlier this week, my students took a practice test for the
state exam, which means that I had the same kids in my room all day in total
silence. The way my room was set up for
testing, they all faced me at my desk as they ate their lunches and as I ate
mine. If you’ve never had a classroom
full of people watch you as your eat your lunch, just know that it is PAINFULLY
weird having thirty sets of eyes eyeing you critically as you roll and eat your
Boar’s Head Blazin’ Buffalo deli turkey slices (so good, by the way).
After I had finished my lunch, I got out a spoon for my
standard post-lunch-spoonful-of-Nutella routine. One of them gasped.
“Miss, what is that?”
“Nutella. It’s like
chocolate peanut butter kind of. Stop
talking.”
“Ew, you just eat it like that? You’re weird.”
“STOP TALKING,” I repeated.
I put about half the spoonful in my mouth. Then I recreated one of my favorite scenes
from the movie Bridesmaids.
“I am not. Weird.” I said, with Nutella covering at least
three teeth. They lost their minds and
we all lost the testing environment.
I should probably arrange to be absent for the real thing.
Love,
Teach
Hahaha... Love it! There is no way to do this job and survive without a sense of humor, and YOU, dear, are a Master :-)
ReplyDeleteWhy in the world do you have a whole silent day for testing? That seems mildly insane . . .
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious. :) Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteI was just seeking this information for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your website. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this kind of informative websites in top of the list. Generally the top sites are full of garbage.
ReplyDeleteHe is an excellent dentist! He is very thorough and professional. I love his staff too. Everyone is friendly happy and helpful. Offices like this are all about their patients and doing what they love to do.
ReplyDeleteI discovered your blog after my best friend tagged me on Facebook with your post "Don't Date a Girl Who Teaches." I laughed so hard I couldn't be offended with her for tagging me. = )
ReplyDeleteI have just spent some of this morning procrastinating a grad school paper by reading your blog and laughing out loud.
Jennifer Lawrence and Laura Ingalls Wilder are also two of my favorite people.
I'm in my 6th year teaching and as everybody has already said what you write is so so funny and so so true. Thanks for taking the time to make other teachers laugh - you know how much we need it sometimes.
Those are the better instances which are almost giving more of the aspects for the students to test regarding their professional.
ReplyDeleteThere are no exclusions in discount dental plans--so there's no need to worry about pre-existing conditions.
