YAY

I got a pretty iMac for my desk at school finally. And it has lots of fun exciting stuff on it and I'm happy.

I feel significantly less tired and worn out than I did at this time last week.

It's a fact, the La Nova on Main St. is not as good as the one on West Ferry (aka 5 minutes from my apartment...so dangerous...)

Teaching can be so great and so not great all in one day. Hell, it can be that way in one class period.

Peace out.

13.1

I ran my second Half Marathon this weekend! I did the Rochester Half Marathon (I did the Buffalo Half last May) and my friend Nicole ran the full marathon. It was a really good course and I actually really enjoyed myself, even though I was running by myself. It was very funny, I actually finished at the exact same moment as the FULL marathon finisher (this happened last time almost, also.) So as I was sprinting towards the end, the crowds were going crazy and yelling super loud and I was like "what, is this for me?!?!" and then I heard some announcer saying "And the winner of the 2007 Rochester Marathon!" and I was like "ohhhh..." The best part was that the winner of the marathon always runs through tape across the finish line, but since I was literally directly in front of him, I had to kinda crash into the side of the archway over the finish line just so I wouldn't break the tape! I suppose I could have been a jerk and gone through it, hahaha. I wonder how many times that has happened before.

Oh I ran it five minutes slower than I did the first one, but I'm okay with that. YAY! I can't wait to do the full marathon in May finally!

Some pics...

Me and Nicole, bright and early.

(e:Anne) came with me and slept on Nicole's couch. Nicole's dog decided to sleep on her butt once Nicole got up.

image
Me after the race was over. There's a picture of me running somewhere but it's not on my camera, so this is the only one I have.

image
We had some time to kill waiting for Nicole to finish the race. While we were walking around the streets someone dangled a carton of Tropicana from their apartment window and (e:Anne) decided to play with it.

The race finished at Frontier Field, which is like Rochester's version of Pilot Field. Inside was a horse statue made completely of baseball gloves.

image
Cory also came to see me run :)

image
Me and Nicole after she was finished. She was NOT feeling too good, but running a marathon by yourself must be terrible. Hopefully in May when I run with her she will be much better!

pics from mike's bday...very late

I'm sorry (e:mike) that facebook is stupid and doesn't seem to let me put up pictures from your b-day. So here they are. They are probably not going to be in order because I'm in between classes and don't really feel like taking the time to fix them. I'm sure you can figure it out for yourselves...enjoy!

Multicultural Markers?!

So my classroom at school is kind of like the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series. Mostly it's my music room, but it is also used throughout the day as social studies, math and art on my off periods. So I thought I would use this to my advantage and use the art supplies with my 6th grade music class tomorrow so they can make nametags. Well I was digging through the art supplies cabinets and this is what I found:

Does this seem strange/amusing to anyone else? Woohoo, we put some brown and peach and tan markers in a box and labelled it "Multicultural"!
