| Okay, let's go... |
[May. 24th, 2012|07:13 pm] |
The phrase of the day was "okay, let's go." Everything was "okay, let's go."
Teacher: "Ready for lunch?"
Student: "Okay, let's go."
Teacher: "Time for speech!"
Student: "Okay, let's go."
Teacher: "Let's work on math."
Student: "Okay, let's go."
It did actually apply to every situation. |

| Eaten by a dinosaur, so sad. |
[May. 19th, 2012|09:23 pm] |
On Friday my staff and I were eaten by a dinosaur. One of the students documented it.
You can see from the picture that we are inside the dinosaurs belly. But sadly, as the life cycle works, the dinosaur is about to be eaten as well. |

| Tuba! |
[May. 17th, 2012|09:47 pm] |
I played the tuba tonight with the middle school band. It went very well and the kids were pretty good!
Here's just one funny conversation:
Student: "So, Miss R, how long have you been playing the tuba?"
Me: "Since 9th grade."
Student: "Are you the same age now as when you started playing?"
Me: "Are you asking if I'm still the same age that I was in 9th grade?"
Student: "Wait, that didn't come out right..." |

| Graduation day! |
[May. 13th, 2012|11:19 pm] |
Today was graduation day at William and Mary! I finished my second Masters in K-12 Administration! Woohoo!
The day began with the full graduate and undergraduate commencement at the William and Mary Kaplan Arena. It was a lovely event (inside! With AC! Woo!) Our key note speaker was Broadcast news icon Jim Lehrer. He was pretty good. The president, W. Taylor Reveley III, stole the show though. Great pubic speaker! Very dry sense of humor!
When the commencement ended the entire school of education met up and walked over to the school of education building led by two drummers and three fifes. Oh yes, three fife players. It was pretty sweet! We then had a second commencement ceremony with just the school of education where everyone was called up. It was a lovely ceremony!
Afterwards we went inside for some light refreshments and they had our diplomas waiting! I got my actual diploma! It's really pretty! I also got to introduce Mom and Dad to several of my professors.
All in all, a lovely day. And now I have another degree! :) |

| The Avengers! |
[May. 12th, 2012|10:15 pm] |
I saw "The Avengers" tonight and it was WONDERFUL! First of all, several hot men with muscles in spandex suits is not bad to look at for 2 hours. But, the plot itself was very good and I really enjoyed it!
Highly recommend it!
Oh, and make sure you stay all the way through the credits - there are two scenes! |

|
| Woohoo! |

Final GPA for William and Mary: 3.85
Magna Cum Laude baby!
Woo! |

| Roommate's students say funny things too! |

Best answer to the extra credit in PT 1's test today:
Q: "For three points, what does BTU stand for?"
Student's answer: "Big Turtles of Uganda."
Oh yes, that's totally related to energy. |

| Hahah students! |

One of my teacher friends posted this on facebook and I loved it:
Smart 12th Grade Girl: "Miss M, what are we going to do after we finish our Lord of the Flies essay?"
Miss M: "We're going to start talking about your research paper."
Smart 12th Grade Girl: "What will the topic be?"
Miss M: "Banned books; we're going to actually-"
Ridiculous Kid: "BAND BOOKS! Yes! Finally something good! I'm doing the Beatles!"
Other Ridiculous Kid: "I'M DOING JIMI HENDRIX!"
First Ridiculous Kid: "THAT'S NOT A BAND!" |
