So I've haven't started teaching, but I am in pre-planning and it's great. I am going to love this job, I already do. And my classroom is small, then again largest class is 13. And it's so cute with all its new furniture. I have already affectionately nicknamed it 'the cottage.' This pic is from the library, yes I'm arm wrapped around Athena. The pic was taken because I am going to be the first new teacher to be spotlighted on the library bulletin board. I listed my favorite book as Elizabeth Fernea's Guests of the Sheik (which is great if you haven't read it) and my quote was taken of course from American History X. You know at the end when Danny says: So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.' Well do you know who 'that guy' was.. yes, Mr. Abe Lincoln. What a great quote, the man had a sweet way with words.
Ok, that's all from m.e.p. land.
