Miss what's-her-name

Do I need to tell you that subbing was not my favorite....or can you tell by the lack of motivation to write anything since January? I'm not going to go too deep into but I will leave a few tid bits from my semester as "Miss."

Most memorable moments: *a whole class of 4th graders singing "five...five dollar...five dollar foot long...........subway eat fresh" and "1-800-safe auto pick up the phone the call is free"......and so on. * the one and only time I sent a kid to the office...and got the phone call asking exactly why a kid was sitting in the office..geez, sorry to bug you. * Timing how long it took a kid to ask me if I spoke Spanish. Then one day asking back, "do you speak French?" I can't believe that worked. * Oh geez, the high school kid who apparently did whatever he wanted because his mom was a teacher. He totally brought the guitar and asked about my favorite band. Gag. Even Evan got a good laugh out of that one. * That same kid was in the class whose real teacher called me a socialist because we turned in a group paper. * Watching movies is a fun way to pass time. Not so much fun when you watch the same movie for 3 or more class periods - Finding Nemo...yea, we never made it to the part where he was actually found...all THREE times I watched it. Disney music cartoons were okay, but the kids weren't very interested after about 5 minutes. My favorite days were the Apollo 13 and United 93 days. Those were good movies. I still haven't watched the end of Apollo 13 though.

You get it right? So what am I doing now you might ask. Surely she's staying clear of any education jobs. Nope. I worked with Evan's colorguard for three days and was reminded how much I like teaching guard. Too bad his district won't hire me for anything. So, I'm still trying to figure it all out. Job wise anyway.
