Day One Hundred Twenty-One

One of the more amusing things about teaching both freshmen and seniors is when their paths cross in my classroom. Course selection is happening right now, and students need their current teachers to sign off on recommended courses for next year, so a lot of the freshmen came by during their lunches to ask me to sign their forms. That's when I'm teaching APGOV, so when they got to my door they just froze. Even when I ushered them in, they hovered near the front of the room, watching my seniors (who, at that point, were working on their Major Cases Projects and jamming to Ariana Grande's latest album) as if they were predatory animals who might strike at any moment.

In reality, since their projects are due tomorrow and they were locked in to get them done, I'm not sure they even really noticed the freshmen there.

Anyways.

The freshmen weren't my only visitors during that block. Both The Principal and Dean 1 came by to talk to me about a course selection issue related to economics (whether or not to open it to juniors as well as seniors), and get my opinion as department head so they could inform the rest of the faculty (I told them not next year due to staffing, but probably the year after). The Principal stuck around for a minute to ask the students about their projects, and chat about what they were learning, which I appreciated.

I signed a lot of course rec forms during Global Studies, too. I told students who were ready to get my signature to put their forms on their tables, and then went around and signed each one while they were reading. After they read for thirty minutes, I had them use the remainder of the block to do some research on events or issues that had come up in their books. The first time we did this (two weeks ago), I suggested topics; this time, I let them decide whether to continue with those or research something new (I'd say it was about 50-50). Then they shared what they'd learned, asked questions about things they still weren't clear about, asked questions about what other students had researched. It was cool.

I had a faculty meeting in the afternoon, and ended up talking to Mrs. T for a good long while afterwards, so then I just hung around until it was time for the winter sports awards. There was a big gathering in the auditorium first so that the major award winners could be announced, and then the teams went to different classrooms for the awarding of certificates and varsity letters. We had a great time celebrating our big, fun, record-breaking season. I'm not sure if I'll ever coach one quite like it again!

I'm a cryptid in Stardew valley. I live on the outskirts of town. I disappear for days on end, purchasing daily one-way tickets to the calico desert. Nobody knows where I go while I'm there. Can occasionally be found fishing at random spots throughout town. I am never not running on at least one triple shot espresso. I take the abandoned minecarts to get around and am frequently seen disappearing into the sewers. I carry a sword for some reason. Once every week or two I will stride into your bedroom to deliver you your favorite meal. I'm a self-made millionaire. I attend all the town events and will go to your concert in the next town over. I have donated approximately 2583 items to the local museum and singlehandedly revitalized the town community center. There are rumors I can talk to junimos. I'm friends with the local wizard

#Stardew valley #most common meeting place for me and my girlfriend is level 20 of the mines #I'm so proud of her 🥲 #i give her spicy eel that i got from killing monsters in the skull caverns #seriously can you imagine having someone like that in your town lmao

sick of this anti-aging obsession. let's go in the opposite direction. i want more characters who are hardened & grizzled & have a face lined with the harrowing tribulations of time--and then halfway through the narrative u find out they're 27

#they aren't even a chainsmoker or anything they just don't wear sunscreen are chronically dehydrated and have witnessed the Horrors #u know. like most of us #ideally we first meet them in a bar where they are guzzling from a tankard like a mysterious and dangerous stranger #later we find out it's not ale they're on a kombucha kick #they've been making it in their basement w/ the help of a college roommate who quit a biochemistry phd to become a beekeeper

Day Eighty

Okay, so the mystery chaos in the bathrooms yesterday? It was something to do with the pipes and the sewers, and it was bad enough that school was canceled today- only at the high school, not throughout the district- and it became a teacher workshop day for us (because some of the bathrooms were fine, just not enough for eight hundred or so people).

The culinary students had prepared breakfast for a meeting that didn't take place, so we got a free breakfast. After that, I held a quick department meeting, spent a bunch of my department's money, attempted to clean my desk, emailed a few students' parents, and did a bunch of lesson planning... So I'd say it was a fairly productive morning, and I think most of my colleagues would say the same. We didn't plan on having this time to get stuff done, but it sure was nice to have it!

Mr. F, Mrs. R, and I had lunch together, and then we joined the rest of our ninth grade house colleagues, Mrs. T, and The Principal for a meeting about the way our classes our scheduled. It got tense because some folks are really frustrated, and, of course, they were venting their frustrations. The thing is, The Principal is totally open to changing the schedule for second semester, so I cut in and said that we should take a vote on whether or not to do that, then move on. I know I sounded snippy, and I feel a little bad about that, but I'm also not wrong. It's decision time.

So we're voting via an email to The Principal. I'm pretty neutral- I can teach Global Studies in whatever schedule I'm given- but I will be glad not to have another meeting about it.

Anyways.

Back to teaching tomorrow unless there's more mystery chaos!

YES YES I NEED THIS SIGN IN EVERY SINGLE PARK PLEASE

This is my daily struggle, I had so many arguments with people with off-leash dogs (in a mandatory leash area!!!). Thanks to this behavior I'm struggling with Kim being anxious/aggressive with other females as she often gets involved in unpleased interactions with free females while on leash. And every single time that I ask for the dog to be at least recalled, I'm being called names and insulted of course.

Also 9 out of 10 their dog isn't really that friendly at all.

#dogblr #dog #dog training #petblr #the most unpleasant part of owning a dog is having to deal with awful dog owners... #the richer the neighbourhood the worst are the owners #but of course the only park that isn't a hour-long drive from home it's full of this kind of people #I want to live in a city where there is enough space to actually walk without meeting anyone if we don't feel like it

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

#autism #neurodivergent #adhd #fun facts #GOD I’m such an idiot #anyways now a 10 year old is out there looking up swear words online and it’s all my fault :( #I got so excited by the fact that I knew a fun fact #that I didn’t stop to think that maybe not everyone knows that fun fact for a reason :( #it’s like explaining how to successfully bury a body at a book club #or explaining the dangers of Scientology to your sister’s boyfriend the first time you meet him #or debating gay sex positions with your best friend in front of your mom #no matter how much I wish to be a beacon of knowledge in this world #sometimes there are things others just don’t want to know #and consciously that’s valid but the autism ? I does not care
