So here I am, sitting at It's a Grind coffee shop (free coupon: how could I resist?) updating my classroom website using the free wi-fi (take that, Starbucks: you just lost my sit-n-surf sessions, because you require a not-so-free T-Mobile account. I've been thinking hard about it, and free is better) and adjusting my PowerPoint presentation to give to parents at Back-to-School night in a couple of hours, checking for student e-mail (okay, and seeing if I have any new matches on LonelyHearts.com).
Teaching just ain't what it used to be. Pretty soon students will tele-commute to school from home to get their assignments, while I sit here at the coffee shop all day, over-caffeinating and over-sconing. Naw: the human element will continue. I'm fairly irreplaceable, I figure; at least for the immediate future.
Gotta run: it's going to be coffee, cookies and jazz in my room to welcome parents, and I have to stop by Smart & Final to buy some Columbian Supremo and set up.

You got punked: that was a joke, and you believed it. Yeah, I was making fun of myself.
Job, boyfriend: a lot of newness in our brand-new high school graduate. A lot of growing, too, I'll bet. Take off that cap 'n gown, and the world looks different all of a sudden.
Good to hear from you, but your dreams of double-dating may have to wait, if you're waiting for me. I've had friends try to "help" me before (it's always women: can't be happy unless everyone they know "has someone." Men just leave you alone). But don't you dare create a ghost account in my name. I'll never forgive any of you, and won't come to your weddings!
