Not much going on today. A 45 minute run when I got home from school, another round of Whittle My Middle before bed, and a gym session postponed until tomorrow.

School was A-OK, its a little tough, the first day back after vacation, but Im pretty confident the kids will wind down and be back to normal by Wednesday. Got a call from the Assistant Principal today--my first formal eval is sometime next week!! Its different in this school system, I get to pick the date, the time, (so essentially the class period and the lesson plan I want him to evaluate), and send him a lesson plan for that class beforehand. In the city, the A.P.s just stopped by without warning and did the eval right then without saying anything!
Any other teachers who read this...what does your school do?! I almost feel like its unfair...its like theyre asking to come to your most well-behaved class and set you up to have a really in depth lesson plan. Im a little nervous about it, not sure why, the AP is literally one of the nicest guys ever!

One more thing about school...and kind of regarding my last post about Pauly D and Michael Cera. A new thing has taken over my classroom...the Jersey Shore fist pump. Yup, thats right. Although it can be distracting, if its placed and timed correctly, its hilarious.

And lastly, I cannot believe that The Taco Bell Diet exists. Or that people believe that just by changing your diet to only Taco Bell, youll lose weight. Other factors at work here! Ugh, AMERICA! come on!

Watching Law and Order before hitting the hay!
