Sometimes on Sunday nights, I get a little loony. I don't know what I'm teaching tomorrow morning. I don't care. I need a hug. I eat some ice cream. I mope a little. And I procrastinate on the internet. Here's a sampling:
Merry Christmas, everybody. Love, Mary and Mystery Man

City Driving
Considering some of my friends' commuting experiences, my morning drive to the next city over is painless.
I usually get an adrenaline rush as I recklessly zoom in the left lane, passing cars like a crazy woman. The irony? I am zooming at 67 miles an hour. Sometimes less. The right lane chugs along between 50-60 mph, and the middle lane at EXACTLY 60. The left lane remains comparatively empty, making it easy for us young LocoDrivers to break the law.
Oh, Washington. I love you.

Saturday posting...
I just finished my very first hat!
Other exciting things: David took me to Across the Universe, and it's fun. I bought a shoe organizing rack and a pretty coat. It's sunny (pretty much).
Otherwise, this week kicked my butt. School left me totally wiped out every day. I stayed longer than 11 hours on Monday and Friday. I found myself, through a severe miscalculation, with an extra hour of unplanned class time. I have nightmares about things like that.

High School Excitement
Today, I had a student come into class on time for once. I noticed him
a) because he was on time, and
b) because he was holding his face in his hands.
Something was wrong. As I walked over, his friends let him to the sink and I heard the chatter of students gleefully explaining what happened. Turns out, my sophomore student (Yes! He'll be driving soon!) pepper-sprayed himself in the face.
Himself.
In the face.
For $10.
He tried to refuse when I sent him to the nurse. He got pretty belligerent actually, but I persuaded him eventually ("Well, you can go yourself, or I can have someone come up and take you down."). The office called too, and asked if I needed the Sheriff and Deputy to come to my room (??). Luckily the "incident" did not happen in my room, and there was no weapon present.
The paramedics took him to the hospital.
My class was bananas for the rest of the period. This class is bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S! This class is bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
Important lessons learned: Pepper Spray counts as a weapon and is NOT allowed at school. Pepper Spray hurts really bad. More than $10 worth bad.
