Um.....Thanks?

For one of my Teaching Classes I've been observing a U.S. History class at an Alternative High School (in this case, a school where students have been kicked out of public school for various reasons).  As she was leaving 4th period, one student asked me if I was a college student.  When I answered in the affirmative she exclaimed, "Well good luck with college.  You're going to need it."  

I wonder if I look less than capable.

Best of 2022

What books should I add to my to-read stack?

New Most Embarrassing Moment

Tonight Rob was warming up for his hockey game, so I was home alone. I heard a loud knock at the door, and looked through the peephole to see who it was. I didn't recognize the man, so I just stood there silently and realized that my door wasn't locked. He'd know I was home if he heard me lock the door (which obviously would be horrible). So obviously I just left it unlocked. After he rang the doorbell to no answer, he opened my door. I was pretty proud of how quickly I was able to slam the door shut and turn the deadbolt. I started thinking of the things in the room that would double as a weapon, but then I heard him call out, "It's the maintenance guy." Whoops. At least we'll get a working furnace out of the ordeal.

Today I was Responsible

Went to class, didn't text during a single one. Ate leftovers for lunch with the Mister. Went to my work meeting, and told too many jokes (I'll take 1/2 credit). Finished my resume so I can apply for teaching internships.  What has marriage done to me?
