Traveling
Work during the summer is so hectic. I will NEVER do it again. I'm one of the main organizers at my old school, and I actually got a blister on my foot from running around the non-air conditioned building today.
Note to my teachers: When I ask you if you have all your materials, please actually LOOK at your materials before you say yes. I had to return the extra materials to the region, so the day after returning all the extra materials is not a good day to tell me you don't have transparencies. Also, please don't ask me to get you another teacher's edition when you let a student steal your copy.
I don't work on Fridays, so I can do 3 day trips until August 9. I want to go to the mountains, back down to the beach, maybe down to DC. I'm also planning on doing a multi-city trip after August 15th, maybe San Fran by myself, then down to Houston later with Derrick. He's never been to the south, zod bless him. He'll truly understand gravy for the first time in his life.
I thought about AZ, but I'd have to see secondary relatives, and that is definitely not my idea of a vacation. It's about all I can do to call my Grandma regularly, as I'm not supposed to be gay. Hmm, 35, hasn't mentioned girls in a long time, living in NYC. Hello?
This summer school thing is gonna kill me. Somebody buy me a beer.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
You're...you're....
...a teacher?! Wow, that's friggin' awesome. I've never came across a blog belonging to a teacher. I have the utmost respect for educators for the future, seriously, much respect.
Anyway, about transparencies; I remember my math teacher last year used transparencies for us to copy notes but he didn't have a spray bottle nor rag to wipe off his transparencies. In other words, or mathematical terms:
Finger + Saliva + Blue markers = Math teacher w/ blue tongue + Students snickering silently as he lectured
Enjoy your three day weekends, you teachers need 'em.

Who still uses transparencies? Luddites, sheesh.
And I thought if you take Canadians that far south, don't they begin to melt?

Oh! Wait! I need a box of transparencies!

Transparencies for Luddites? Yeesh, they were a big advance for me -- not till this past year did we even have one overhead per classroom! (And only a couple of times did the bulbs blow!) I did teach one class in a room with a smart board installed over the white board, but am still trying to figure out what was so smart about it. For that particular class, it really didn't help me deliver the material any better.

I know where you can come for your vacation. :-)

OMG Gravy! The first thing I learned to cook (after pancakes) was sausage, biscuits, and gravy, followed by fried chicken livers, biscuits, and GRAVY! `:)

And I'm happy to buy you (or you and Derrick, if he can make it) an Anchor Steam next time you're in town, since I missed you when I was in NYC.
