Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm feeling kinda unblessed that my 3rd period has over 54 kids.

YIKES!

“Not dead yet!”

Holy MOTHER, Kat. That's unreal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have no idea how you'd even start to cope, Kat.

Why am I watching 90210? Why have I set TiVo to record Melrose Place? Why can I not accept that those are lost days of my youth?

On the other hand, someone needs to tie Gael (nice name--I'd name my son that) Monfils down and cut his hair. I'm not even sure what he's doing to make it look so weird. It looks like straightened hair growing out, but it always looks that way, which isn't possible.

I just rechecked the roster. I have 58. Killer. I can't fit 58 desks in the room. I mean, I could as I have a massive room. But 58 is ridiculous.

I could take my 58 students and divide them into 2 normal sized classes.

is it like first week of classes at my college and you just have to try to convince people to drop it? I'd have a pop quiz on day 2. and an essay due on Friday.

Or with my 58, I could start a NCAA football team. Or I could run a huge basketball tournament with kids in the class.

But teach journalism and academic decathalon. Um. No.

Whatev.

Oh. My AP classes? They have a test tomorrow (day one!) and serious homework and then an in-class essay due on Friday. AND the asshat administrator dumped 7 kids who have scored Far Below Basic (or Epic Fail in my naming convention of scores) in AP Lit. Really? These kids, according to state tests, can't even read kinda near grade level. So thanks for that.

They can do "Curious George Takes an AP Class" and "Magic Tree House: Adventure in Advanced Placement" and "Harry Potter and the College Entrance Exams".
