School officially started one week ago and it was boring as usual. I'm not complaining, just stating the facts. The first day is always boring because you have a new group of students and you want to make sure they know the rules and operations of the school. My department chair took it upon herself to announce to the school that the Language Arts teachers would be responsible for dispersement of handbooks and relevant information.
I decided this summer to be more active in my school and sponsor Student Council. I am too excited about it. I have all of these grand plans. Sometimes, I over do it and principal brings me right back to reality. She's awesome. Anyway, KW and I took on that task and we are eager. We have an interest meeting for the students Wednesday. I have ambivalent feelings about it. One one hand, I am hoping a lot of student show up and are interested. On the other hand, I'm hoping it's just a few because I don't want their feelings to get hurt if they don't get elected. I think back to my days in high school and how so many teachers rigged elections. It used to make me so angry, but now I understand why. They had a favorite student and didn't want that student to walk away sad. I don't want any of them to walk away sad, but it has to happen. Rules of life. I told my students about that ONE time in undergrad that I ran for SGA and lost. I wanted them to know that there is no shame in losing. You campaign, do your best, and what is supposed to happen will happen. I was on Student Council in jr. and high schools, but it lost its appeal my tenth grade, maybe eleventh grade, year. Now I'm excited all over again.
OMG, you would never believe it. I am assistant volleyball coach. I told the coach that I know nothing about the sport, but I don't think she realized how terrible I am. I am athletically challenged. I'm uncoordinated and goofy. This should prove very interesting, or at least entertaining.
My cousin got married yesterday, and the wedding was so pretty. I looked too cute. I need to go in there and wrap my hair, but I'm sitting here talking to random people who fly by to read my latest happenings.
I think I've covered all I need to cover for this evening. I have to get ready for bed so that I can catch this flight out tomorrow. Until next time, happy poeple,....
