loose ends
I will repeat an apology I made in the comments of my last entry, for those readers who don't linger: I am sorry that my last entry made zero sense. I am sort of at loose ends, these days. Yesterday Amy listened to me bitch about job hunts and such for a little while, then asked if I had any "fun summer plans." I could not give her an answer beyond "well, I'm moving into an apartment." How can I have no fun summer plans?? My 4th of July trip to New York has been cancelled, and a much-hoped-for visit from Liz and Heather has yet to be finalized. Note to self: Make some fun plans. For summer.
I have been subbing all week for "sick" teachers. It's amazing how many people fall ill on 90 degree days! Boy howdy, the kids were wild today. It was as if they had never been to school before. I would sweetly ask them to settle down and they would stare blankly at me for approximately 2.3 seconds before returning to their chatting/rolling/shredding small pieces of paper. A boy sneezed and snot went literally ALL OVER his desk and book. I couldn't stop myself. I said the word "GROSS" loudly before I even knew what was happening. That got some attention from the kids. I am very sorry, snot-boy.
No need to apologize, because that entry was really cool. Like the ravers say: "Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and write like no one's reading."
fake sick? maybe not. (not that i can blame people playing hookie on nice days, mind you. but i *am* sorry you had to pick up the slack.) anyway, my point is, maybe its (dramatic music) NOROVIRUS! all 3 of us had this last weekend, and it is NAS-TAY. megan found this to add support to the hysteria: http://www.katu.com/education/story.asp?ID=85936
ugh. anyway, pretty boring comment, this. it was nice seeing you in the cafe today, anyway. *grin*
Norovirus?!?
OMG. I don't even want to know what that is. I am scared of any link to KATU News, too. Just all around frightening, really.
Fun summer plans don't always need to be made ahead of time. I make sure to BBQ, camp at least once, swim in the ocean, see an outdoor concert and take a road trip, oh and see fireworks since my birthday falls on July 4th. As long as I can check them off in September, I'm all set.
Sorry to hear your trip to NY was cancelled. Don't let that stop you, plan another trip!
I thought the last entry made plenty of sense. Although, I probably speak Willow pretty well.
You are completely fluent, darling. Thank god someone is! :-)
