Somebody Loves Me?!

March 12, 2015Being Awkward/Dumb Stuff I Do, Dating/Single Life, Random Thoughts/HappeningsEmily
I walk into my lobby and my super hands me a huge bouquet of just-delivered flowers. 
 
Super: “Looks like somebody loves you!”
Me (excited): “What?! Who would send me flowers?!” (Checking card, confused) “This says it’s for 5d. I’m 5b.”
Super: “Oh.” (Snatches flowers back) “Never mind.”

Me: “Read the title of this poem. What do you think it’s about?” 

Kid: “A lion.”

Oh the Irony 

March 12, 2015Kids/Teachingirony, teacher problems, teachingEmily

That moment when your school holds a rally to protest how teachers are treated, and not only are teachers not invited or told about it, they cannot attend because they are teaching a test-prep session.

The only reason I received an email about it is because it was forwarded from a school parent. DURING the protest. While I was teaching test prep.

Hang in There, Hillary

March 12, 2015Random Thoughts/Happeningsbill clinton, hillary clintonEmily

Hey remember when Bill Clinton had a dirty affair with his very young intern, and we still consider him the COOLEST?

Just something to think about as we rip Hillary to shreds. Maybe we can forgive the mistake and let it go?

Because it’s a sad, weird day in America when using a personal email account is more threatening to your presidency than a cigar up the hoo-ha.

What’s Important

March 11, 2015Kids/Teachingkids, teacher problems, teaching, tutoringEmily

Kid (resisting doing her work, as usual): “My dad said my grades aren’t even really important. All I need in life is my personality.”

Dad is absolutely correct.

Well, not your personality.

A winning personality.
