This has been one crazy week. I've started back to school and have to say that I am absolutely loving the Grad school atmosphere...a novel idea when students are expected to have their readings done when they get to class! Being back on campus is a trip, and I'm still balancing it with coaching and getting out to play ultimate. In short, I have absolutely no complaints! But you must be complaining, because it's Friday and they're still keeping you chained to that thing you call a desk. So, between now and 5, here's 10 things you can think about to occupy your time.
1) Call it Propofl, valium, xanax, whatever...it appears Michael Jackson was sadly on a lot of it when he passed away. Of course, I guess that means it shouldn't surprise anyone that they found weed in his house.
2) So a girl goes missing when she's 11 and they find her now, 29 and two kids later. Turns out she's been living in a locked shed and having children for the couple who abducted her. No, this isn't that weird Austrian story...this is in California.
3) I don't know how Jerry Jones made his billions of dollars, but something tells me he should go back to school when he builds a 1.15 Billion dollar brand new football stadium and puts the scoreboard so low that it gets hit by punts. You did know they were going to play football in there, didn't you Mr. Jones?
4) History is being made by Matt Barkley. When he starts for the Trojans at quarterback in their opener against San Jose State, he will become the first true freshmen to start at that position in SC history.
5) Do you subscribe to the cognitive or transmission theory of teaching?
6) How many children might be left behind when NCLB entreats teachers to train for a government exam rather than actual student growth?
7) Jim from The Office is getting married. No, it's not to Pam Beasley.
8) Do you remember having an "Ah-Ha!" moment in your education career, and if so, how did it happen and who helped you?
9) Would you pay a $100 ticket to go to Outside Lands, knowing that the sound cut out in the middle of Radiohead's performance not once, not twice, but more than three times last year?
10) Would you rather be a Cabbage Patch Kid or a Garbage Pail Kid and why?
That's it folks, have a great weekend and remember: it's only Rum if it's 92 proof.

cabbage patch kid b/c those cheeks are just darling. and the pinched fat at the knees, elbows, and wrists. who wouldn't love that? i'm biased though, since i have one in my very own home. a real live one!
ah-ha moment in education. realizing that NCLB was set up to leave children behind. thanks bush. yet another legacy we can love you for...right. great idea and looks pretty good on paper, but come on folks, we're gonna leave some behind if they're not coming to school. and if we're expecting children with disabilities and mental handicaps to score as a student without those challenges. seriously?
