"Um. Wait. You mean Indiana isn't in Kentucky?"
"Um. Ms. Kinney, he wants me to ask you if you're wearing pajama jeans."
Girl comes up to me, grinning ear to ear.
Me: You're awfully smiley. What's up?
Girl: Nothing. (continues to just stand in front of me smiling...she literally has me pinned against the wall and just smiles.)
Me: I doubt that. You look like you have the face of a girl who has something good going on with a boy. Spill.
Girl: Well. I have a boyfriend.
Me: Did this just happen between first and second hour?
Girl: Yes.
Me: Congrats. Who is it? Do I know him?
Girl: Yes. He's on our team it's BoyX
Me: Oooh. Well congratulations, but you two seem pretty different...
Girl: Yeah. He's really quiet. Actually he doesn't talk at all...but I talk a lot so it's okay...actually it's kind of awkward...
2. Well. This happened. I should be a little ashamed that I have let my nerd status get this far advanced...but...oh well.
Yeah. That's a comic book you see there...that's volume 1...I am currently on volume 3. Yeah. Maybe I asked for comic books for Christmas.
3. I'm pretty sure I've launched too far into nerddom to ever see the light of day again. A few Friday's ago, I spent the evening watching a documentary about Sabertooth Tigers and learning binary code. I wish, desperately, that I was kidding.
4. Last weekend I took my 6th grade academic team to a showcase specially for 6th graders. There were 7 schools there. We won. Boo. Yah.
5. A kid at the academic team competition told me I didn't look like I should be reading comic books. I told him I liked to defy expectation. He asked me what that meant...
6. I think I am the Bobby Knight of academic coaching. I just get really intense and sometimes feel the need to throw chairs. I try to tone it down for the kids, but inwardly I'm going nuts.
7. I redeveloped a nice little illness this week. Hello, sinus/ear infection, nice to see you. I felt like death. My students told me I looked pale, (which to a group of people who are constantly tan via tanning bed/spray tan, is a real insult) we all had fun. On the upside I saw my real life doctor who never once asked me if I was possibly pregnant like this guy.
8. Do you know the Chemistry Cat? If not. You should here's why:
BAHHAHAHAHAHA! If you don't get it...consult your periodic table.
9. I'm thinking of taking this blog public. AKA. Getting my own .com. Too soon? Too arrogant? Time will tell my friends, time will tell. At some point your have to get drastic in your quest for blog fame.
10. My mom and I went to a basketball game tonight. The weird man sitting next to her spent the entire games showing her pictures on his phone of his friends and telling her bizarre stories about how he got his hat from a golf caddie. The woman in front of us was so into the game she refused to sit down the entire game and was going nuts with the cheering...and then she left with 2 minutes to go. I also spent a lot of time gazing into the abyss that was the man in front of me's butt crack as he stood up and sat down about 89 times, mostly to pass his kid back and forth. There are some days I wonder why half the world is Coo Coo for Cocoa Puffs.
Peace, Love and a Happy Weekend,
Claire
