A Funny Story...

Life is going well. Seems to be flying by. I am way tired and need to get to bed so I am trying to make this fast.

Anyhow...This picture has a very nice story behind it. I was dropping off my money to play softball(yipee...I have a game tomorrow) and chatting with a friend when a guy jogged past us. My friend totally thought that the guy was checking my out...but I didn't believe her. I guess I don't really get checked out by guys too often, so I didn't think that was it. Well, a few minutes later he ran past again and said hello and winked. Then the next time he came around, he mentioned that I had nice muscles. It was funny. Then he told me that I should be running the next time he came by. I told him I probably couldn't keep up. Then the next time he came and talked with us. Before I tell you about that conversation, I will tell you about the conversation I had with my friend, while she was trying to convince me that the guy was checking me out. Basically, I told her that I already knew about five things about this man already: 1. He was for sure Latino, because guys who are Latino usually like bigger girls. I get a lot of action from the Latin Lover type. 2. He would be a lot older than me. 3. He would be illegal 4. He would be very forward. 5. It wouldn't work out. Well, I got most of those right as I was chatting with Ariel. Basically, it wouldn't work out because, technically, he was still married. Also, he was Latino and from Ecuador. He was also a lot older than me and forward. The only one I was wrong about was the illegal part. Anyhow. It was a hilarious experience and it actually made me smile because at least there is one man in the world that finds me attractive just the way I am!

On another funny note: One of my students drew a picture of me with what he coined the "quote of the year" from me. The quote was: "No, you actually do need your anus." We are learning about the digestive system and I had asked the question: "What organ in the digestive system is not needed by the body and has no function?" The answer, of course, was the appendix!

Spring has Sprung...but may have a hiccup later this week.

Well, I have been highly enjoying the flowers that are in bloom and the trees that have teeny tiny leaves coming in. I picked the tulips from outside my house. Aren't they pretty? They make me mucho happy!

I am feeling a little better today. That is very nice. The phlegm issues seems to be solving itself. I think my little run today helped move some of it. Nice...I bet you really wanted to know didn't you? It has been kinda a gross week!

What else? It was Monday which is never anybody's favorite. It went well at school. I had a little run in with my 4th Period students last Friday and today we had a nice little chat about it! They are Seniors and they are driving me nuts right now. But that is okay. I will totally miss them next year when I have to train a whole new bunch of sophomores...ew sophomores.

Alright. I have nothing else and better get to bed. I did clean my bedroom today and rearranged the furniture. I thought that by so doing, I would have more room, but that wasn't the case. I guess I will just have to live with it! (I also guess I had one more thing to say!)

Cheers! If you didn't read the previous post about my silly Health students, you should...it is hilarious!!

A Post before I Forget.

We are talking about Special Diets in my Health class today and one of the students opened the book(she was assigned the special diet of pregnancy) and pointed to a picture of the male anatomy(obviously she was not following directions and was not on the right page) and said: "There it is. Pregnancy is right here." Yeah....not so much.

The other funny thing that happened in the same class was when we were talking about hypoglycemia and one of the students said: "Isn't that where the person gets really cold?" To which I answered: "No, that is hypothermia." I don't think there really is a special diet for somebody with hypothermia, is there?

Hey, at least she got the hypo right. Sometimes little moments like this help us get through the day, don't they?

Alice is Sick of Being Sick

This week has been full of phlem. I thought I would get better after getting my voice back but that hasn't happened. Now, I am coughing a lot and my nose is either running constantly or completely clogged. It is highly annoying. Right now I have been awake for an hour and a half and I am thinking of going back to sleep. Pathetic. Whatever this is, it is kicking my butt!

Besides being sick, the week has been a good one. It went really fast and that was good. My students were good for the most part and I got to eat sushi yesterday. Good times!

I don't have a whole lot more to say so I think I will now go back to bed!

Sickness anybody?

Hi. I would post a picture of me today but it may look a little pathetic. I did not take off my pajamas all day(which I am pretty proud of some Saturdays, but today was different). When I woke up this morning, I realized my voice was still on sabbatical and that I was feeling kinda hot and sickly, so I decided that a sub for school would be a good idea. My poor students have had to put up with a lot of subs this year. I am thinking of calling this year the Year of the Sub even though I know it is really The Year of the Tiger. Maybe my body just needed a vacation from my vacation. I worked two days then had to take a day off!

I do have to look on the bright side. I was able to watch a few movies. That isn't something that I usually get to do on a typical Wednesday. I enjoyed Have You Heard about the Morgans? it was funny and cute. I only watched about five minutes of The Invention of Lying before I was thoroughly offended. I then threw in The Break-Uptonight. I forgot how interesting that movie is because it really isn't what you would think of as a "romantic" comedy. It was funny...but a little disappointing. I guess you will have some more reading to do on the movie blog in the next few days. I don't have the energy to write tonight but I will later.

I also graded some tests that I should have graded last week. I really am a slacker teacher this year. I am totally blaming it on the lack of a prep hour and not the fact that I am just plain lazy.

Well, off to get some more rest and hope that by tomorrow I am done with this gross tasting coughing that I have enjoyed today. I hope your day was spamtastic and that if you had an iPhone, it was treating you well and not being locked like mine is. I am hoping that problem can be solved or I must wait until June to switch to AT&T, which I don't want to do but if I have to in order to have a full functioning iPhone, I will! I am sure you really didn't care but I thought I would put that out there. Cheers!
