Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

I am not sure about the movers. I work for Gov't and we don't tip anyone, but our movers are on a standing offer.

I've got to remember to mail my cc bill.
Work Lisa offered to go with me, but honestly, it wouldn't matter if there were a million friends and parents in the room, I'm not going to be aware of them.
Now for all the phone calls and logistics.....

Go sara! Go sara! Go sara! SO EXCITED FOR YOU!
I got called a vigilante teacher. Context: kid who is valedictorian plagiarized and cheated -- on a project and a final respectively in my class, but because of how they figure out cumulative GPA for valedictorians, the D he got this quarter doen't disqualify him. I've been on a tear since then and K pointed out while I can't make him NOT valedictorian, I am in charge of the newspaper.
So my students are writing a giant article after a survey I gave out yielded results.
One of my journalism kids reportedly told another teacher, "You don't mess with Ms. G. I like her. She's cool and everything, but don't mess with her."
Then the teacher said I got ruffled about perceived injustices and I'm a vigilante. She meant it in a non-bad way, I think. But still?
Sigh.
Though it might not be wrong.

Kat, vigilante teacher.
There should be a comic book.

Hey, go for it. Kids need to know there are consequences to their actions and one of those might be how people and the press look at you. Tough cookies if that's not the rosy image you hope to project. Shouldn't have plagiarized, then.

Ah the hipster grifter. So funny in a way but sad. Girl clearly needs some serious mental health professionals on her case.
