I just got back from graduation. Ten of my students did something they never thought they would. My favorite student was awarded student of the month and a scholarship by the district, and because I nominated her I got to give a speech and present her with her diploma, and a check to be used for her further education. After the ceremony, she ran up...

That's rad.
_schmoe:
that's the best fucking day ever.
thanks for sending the music. if there's anything i can send you in return let me know. but right now americorps doesn't pay shit, and they don't pay me said shit for a month now, so it may have to wait a bit. i'm in new england now, so i guess i could put a lobster in a box with some lobster food (whatever the hell those things eat) and poke some holes in it and hope for the best.
oh yea, my noggin measurments; 24" circumference and if the crown of my head is where skull meets neck to eye brows then it's 14"

The last day of school. All the credits are in, and the papers are corrected. Next Wednesday, ten of my little gangstas will be walking across our tiny lunchroom in a rented cap and gown, and I guarantee I'll cry just a little. Those are ten lives I touched, ten people who are just a little better off for having known me. Of all the...

Is it a hat book!?

I don't really read much science fiction, so if it is in that genre, I probably wouldn't know how to read it. But if has more mainstream cross over potential...I'd love to check out your query

.Today was a good day, in a very Ice Cube sense. As I was walking in the door to work today, one of my students stopped (while being hauled out by the police) to tell me I looked pretty. I must have looked awfully pretty.

That makes me think of Dangerous Minds for some reason.
I like your profile picture. Burn, baby, burn.

"Mandatory bridal shower." My god, nth circle of Hell.
My students (bless their thug hearts) have solved all of my financial woes for me. When they learned that I have to work summer school, you know, because of bills and shit, Eddie said, "Girl, it's time to start your rap career."
"But Eddie, I'm old and white."
Nah, nah. That don't matter," Mark chimes in. "That can be your thing. You know, like Fiddy...

Well, I'm trying to focus on the opportunity rather than the loss, although each is rather daunting in scale.
Fortunately, it was just my regular office gig that got taken away. No authority can strip me of my malcontent title.
Thanks for the kind thoughts.

I've been wondering about how to dye yarn with coffee. Do you just boil it in the coffee? I have some wool... I'm trying to learn how to spin. I don't know why.

Today:
-I got a nosebleed for the first time in my life. It was a gusher, too. Got all over my shirt, the desk, and the confidential student files I was reading at the time. Ew.
-I have business cards for my website now. They're totally sweet. I feel important now.
-I have a shitload of gang literature to read; the history of gangs, gang...

Someone up and changed my job description today, from 'Teacher' to 'Porn and Doobie Confiscator'. It was nothing but porn and doobies all day, which might sound like a good day...if you don't have to take them away from thugs and gangstas. The administration didn't like my joke that I was going to save them for the staff meeting on Friday.

Sorry I just tag you for a game. Just see my journal
One of my students lives in a homeless shelter, and she told me yesterday that she needs to get a job and move out of there because the old men keep trying to climb in bed with her. A few minutes later, she told another student that she'd been offered a job as a lube tech, but didn't want to take it because her fingernails...

'Lube tech' like Astroglide or like Jiffy Lube? The former, hey- free lube, but the latter, free harassment by grease monkeys.
