Mistakes, and corrections, and *gasp* using my degree!! By Catherine on 3/28/2007 07:53:00 AM
Okay, update! J was nice enough to inform me that my students were wrong-- someone didn't pull the fire alarm, the nurse burnt her bagel.And the whole damn school had to evacuate.
That's somewhat funnier than someone pulling an alarm. And it makes the look on Mr. H's face worth it. So I take back previous comments about a mystery soph failing MCAS as poetic justice. That wasn't very nice of me, but really, it was cold out there! :)
So, this morning, on another note, I actually got to use the degree I spend 4 years and more money than I'll have in my lifetime on. (This is an exaggeration, of course, however since my debt could buy a house in some areas of the world, I feel legit in my hyperbole.) I got to do Spanish! The difference this time is that the kid I was helping actually studied and worked hard, and didn't need his mommy to strong-arm the teachers into giving him a million chances to pass. This pleases me. And Spanish came back fairly quickly, considering that I much much prefer to read/speak French.
Maybe more later, I don't have much interesting to write about today. A is almost done with my design. And go rent Children of Men, directed by Alfonso Cuarón.
