Beauty Parlor

My roommates and I are on this kick of playing beauty parlor. We take turns doing people's hair as "beautiful" as we can. I decided to christen the use of my owl ornament of Jennifer's head this week and it was the coux de gras of the hairstyle. We also added a tiara to the owl hair. The other picture is my hair from a few weeks ago. Yes, that is dental floss in my hair. Yes, we both wore our hair like that to ward prayer...it kind of makes us wonder why we are still single!

TIMPVIEW WINS!!!

The school where I am teaching just won the State 4-A state championship!! They won 50-6 and are undefeated this season! I am so happy for them. One of my students, a sophomore on the varsity team scored a touchdown on a fumble!!! Go T-Birds!

Teacher HELP!!

So, there is one of my classes that the students ARE NOT quiet...I have tried several things, but I am to the end of my rope. I am changing seats next class. I had a student recommend 10 participation points a day and if they talk, then the person loses those points. I think it sounds good, but I am not sure...I am so frustrated!

Funny story

We were talking about coping and death in my health class today. During this class, one of my students asked me, out of the blue, if I was dating anyone. I told her I wasn't, and went on with the lesson. A few minutes later, she raised her hand again and told me she had another off the topic question. I asked her if it had to do with her previous question and she told me it did. She asked me why I wasn't dating anyone. Oh, the innocence of youth! I told her I didn't know, but if I did, then I would do something to change it.

That is my question to the great internet world. Why is it that some people aren't dating? I don't just mean in a relationship, but dating at all? My friends struggle with it, and we are all wonderful, and yet, males do not recognize how wonderful we are! I am in a confused state!

High School Observance

So, I helped with the concessions stand at the Timpview Football game this afternoon. I know that I spend my time with high schoolers all the time at school, but it was very interesting to see them out of the classroom and in their groups and cliques, where they feel in control. It was interesting to see certain people who thought they owned the place, and they could do whatever they wanted, while others were just as polite as could be. It makes me remember my time in high school, and I am grateful that I am now an outside observer. High school is such a hard time of finding your place, figuring out who you are, and trying to fit in all at the same time. I am glad I am done, but also glad that I can see it, and try to help those people who may need it along the way, to remind them it does get better.

Uneventful All Hallow's Eve

I dressed up for Halloween for school...not as anything, but in Halloween colors. It was nice and pleasant. That night, I didn't do anything...which was just the way I wanted it this year. I did carve a pumpkin on Tuesday. It started out as a spider, but ended up as an insect because I ran out of room on the pumpkin because the body started getting larger and larger. Oh well.

Now it is November....THANKFUL TREE FUN!!!!
