A rainy day in DC

      Today was a blustery, gray day.  I played more of the role of observer in school today than I did teacher.  I did get to help a few students before and after school.  Chase even told Ms. Willerth that I was a good teacher.  Looks like he's getting a A. hahaha :)  I went to a few meetings today and met the Physics teacher at SWW.  He was nice but not as cool as Mr. Duncan.  I discovered the smelly first floor teacher workroom.  Teachers are hilarious!  They have the same kind of tiffs as roommates (Who's food is that that's making it stink in here?! If I find it, I'm throwing it away!") and some of them can't spell very well either ("This frig will be cleaned out on Friday.  Pls take ur food out by then.").  I graded a lot of papers and put all the grades and attendance in the grade book.  By the end of the day, I'm not entirely sure who was more excited to go home me or the kids.  There were more of the kids so their excitement was expressed at a higher decibel, but I think my headache caused by their volume outranked their volume.
      I came home from school and took a ten minute snooze.  It was more like a ten minute blink than anything.  Then we had our weekly seminar with our director.  It was two hours long!!!! That's about one hour longer than necessary if you ask me, but we had to catch up from what we missed last Friday.  We talked about Mount Vernon.  Keep your fingers and toes crossed, guys.  The plans have been put in place for Saturday.  I've gotta admit that I'm stoked! The weather last weekend would have been perfect for it, but I'd go see George in a blizzard.
