Observations
-Ethnic stereotyping and thrash metal music make for an interesting student chapel.
-Every school should have a Library Nazi. "No computers for you!"
-After reading some of my 8th graders' rough drafts of their persuasive essays, I think I'd hire some of them if I ever needed a lawyer.
-Humor columnist Dave Barry, while remarkably funny, probably doesn't count as a reliable source for a research paper on nuclear arms. Sorry, kids.
-I have a bug bite on my arm. It doesn't look like a bug bite, per se. It looks more like I'm growing a boob on my arm. Ew. Arm boob.
-I get to go to a three-day workshop for MYP Humanities teachers in Shanghai, China at the end of October. Yay! I found out the school booked my plane tickets with Cathay Pacific, though. As I have not yet received a groveling apology in response to my angry letter, I'm still in a bit of a snit as far as this airline is concerned. Boo, Cathay Pacific. But, as I am a bit of a whore for free travel and frequent flier miles, away I will grudgingly go.
-It took me almost 22 years to decide it was OK to wear high heels. Travis doesn't care. "You're taller than me, anyway, even when you're barefoot," he says. My height in the shoes I'm wearing today is just a shade over six feet. It used to make me really self-conscious here, but now I think it's fun to be taller than almost everyone else.
-I can't say it enough. I wish we had morning and afternoon nap time in middle and high school. I really think we'd all benefit from this. I'd also lobby for snack time. Animal cookies, anyone?

I'll sign your petition for high school nap time. 16 hour day followed by 7:20 am meeting equals one tired Bork!

Could I use "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader" for a source on my paper? It has lots of useful information in it. I mean, did you know that 15% of Americans secretly bite their toenails or that the 1995 Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is 55 hot dogs long? You never know when one might need these facts for a report on - a report on - on - well, you figure it out.

I read this blog now because it makes me smile. Also, I totally understand your issues with heels. I still don't wear them, but that is mostly cause they hurt my toes.
