10 Years ago...
I was a big bad eighth grader at Springville… I was definitely a tomboy, which lead to the breaking of my finger and having surgery because I was playing basketball with the boys at break! I am pretty sure I was on a bobby sox softball team (my last year playing). I was probably traveling up and down Cali playing basketball in some tourney getting our trash kicked by 4-D stars!

5 Things on my list to do today...
Teach my classes about STD’s and HIV & take one class to the hospital for a tour
Plan for Stein to sub for me tomorrow!
Read some more of KIRA-KIRA and the BOM
Think about grading some essays, but not really doing it!
Coaching my softball team for a win against Tulare Union

Snacks I enjoy...
Fruit and Cottage Cheese
Kit Kats!
Pickles and Cheese
Lunchmeat
Sunflower seeds

Bad Habits...
Complaining
Some suction cup ear thing (which I am sure you all know about!)
Crack my knuckles

5 Things you don't know about me...
My nose runs constantly, which means I always have crusties on my nose!
At a stop light, I have to beat the person next to me when the light turns green!
I have a fear that one day someone will cut my hair in the middle of the night
I have watched Ever After and The First Harry Potter movie probably 20+ times.
I long to marry the Prince of England, even though he doesn’t know I exist!

If I suddenly had a million dollars...
I would pay off all my debt, and my parent’s debt. I would hire someone to get rid of the ugly houses that are around us or somehow buy out that land! Get a new car! Travel with my friends… Give money to health organizations (they are always in need of money!)

Texas Sheet Cake

How am I supposed to keep my weight under control when my family forces me to make such a delicious cake? Oh, I could eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner! It's so moist and full of goodness!

KATRINA

Starr thought she would help my mom and out and dye her hair... We all thought that dark brown would a good color for her... HOWEVER, it turned out to be black!!!!! Now, instead of calling my mom Kathy... we call her Katrina (you really need to get the accent in there... roll the R)


KATRRRRINA!

ALICE IN WONDERLAND.......TWILIGHT

Who knew that Alice in Wonderland could be so intriguing! I just finished a book called " The Looking Glass Wars," which is about Alyss, who is the princess of Wonderland! It's a book that plays off the childhood story of the crazy white rabbit and little miss Alice. I have to admit I like this story a lot better =) It's a series, so I just purchased the next one-- hopefully it keeps getting better!



TWILIGHT!
I was just updating myself about the Twilight series... The movie is coming out in December, and the last and final book will be out in August! OH-- I can't wait! Does she become a vampire or what? Just tell us already!

ANNOYED!

MY MOST HATED QUESTION ASKED BY THE KIDS...

Student: "Are we doing anything today?"
Me: "NO, we are just gonna stare at the wall!"

The students literally think that we aren't going to do work! I understand that it's getting close to the end of the year, but all they do is COMPLAIN... "I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS, IT'S BORING!" Thinking I would try to mix things up a bit, I'm having them make pamphlets of the information in the book! They get to color, cut out pictures, chat.



Do they find this fun? NOPE-- NOTHING PLEASES THEM. One student asked in a stupid kid tone.. " Why did we make pamphlets anyway?"

Are you kidding me? I want to knock some since into them! Once they were done with the pamphlets, I had them do a boring assignment! That will teach 'em! If you want boring, I'll give you boring!
