Alphabet Soup: Yo, I keep getting all these emails from Barnes & Noble... as if I read.

Quote of the Day - January 4, 2011

Several of my students were cursing quite loudly at the beginning of fourth period yesterday.

Me: Guys, can you stop talking like animals?

Alphabet Soup: Animals don't talk. OH, YOU JUST GOT PLAYED!

Bad Romance

Speaking of Alphabet Soup, she and Arte Johnson got back together and then had (another) massive break-up. I spotted Arte walking around with band-aids over the upper left-hand side of his coat. :(

CSI Moment of the Day - December 7, 2010

Yesterday in Forensic Science, we examined hair under the microscope, in order to support our current unit on hair analysis. Much to my surprise, my students got really into the "lab." Some were REALLY into it...

Alphabet Soup: Next time, can we look at sperm under the microscope?

Me: Um, that sounds great, but I don't think we can get sperm samples here at school.

Alphabet Soup: That's just a detail.

All's Fair in Love and War

Alphabet Soup dumped Arte Johnson. (I found out when I spotted Arte sobbing in the stairwell.) To make matters worse, their rosters were changed so that they are now both in the same Environmental Science class. Oh, irony.

All's Well in the World of Love

I spotted Arte Johnson and Alphabet Soup holding hands in the hallway. Awwww.

Thank You For Caring

Yesterday, I noticed that Arte Johnson was rather mopey. And by mopey, I mean that instead of being his usual jolly, "verrrrry interesting" self, he had his head down and refused to talk to anyone or do his work. Being the Super Teacher Sleuth that I am, I remembered that Arte was dating a student in one of my earlier classes and resolved to talk to her in the morning.

Me: Hey, Alphabet Soup, do you know what was wrong with Arte yesterday?

Alphabet Soup: Nope, no idea.

Me: Nothing at all? Because he seemed miserable in class.

Alphabet Soup: How should I know? I dumped him yesterday.
