The Second Coming of Awesome
And lo. On the 14th day of this 3rd month, the awesome was created. It was good. It was awesome! But the awesome needed an equal awesome to show the world the true way of being the best. Eight days later, as was foretold, the second coming of awesome occurred. And it was good.
And that, children, is why we celebrate for eight days. For the birth week of awesome is a glorious event.

Frog Sneak Attack
This was found at Target yesterday. I had nothing to do with it, although I wish I had set it up. Makes no sense at all and kind of confuses me.
In other news, a student told me to day that he was trying to be a really good redneck. You have to love those first graders.

Failcat
I told a student the other day that I didn't have to take the FCAT when I was in school because it didn't exist. They got a puzzled look on their face and then asked what the point of school was if there was no FCAT to take at the end of the year. I tried to explain that school used to be about learning, expanding your mind, becoming a well rounded individual, etc. This fell on deaf ears.
It's kind of sad that the education system has gotten to the point where learning to take a test is more important than actually teaching. I know there are proponents of the FCAT that will say that if teachers teach the standards then students will do well on the test. Therein lies the problem. Assessing a student's abilities shouldn't be reduced to bubbling in A, B, C, or D.
Enough of my rant. At least the failcat nonsense is done. At least as far as I'm concerned. On to more important things.
Birthdays, spring break, and the eventual summer vacation that has just begun to peek over the horizon.

Awesome
If someone ever asks you to define the word 'awesome' it would start with a recount of this past week.
New place.
Good friends.
Great times.

Sans Chair
Typical guys apartment. Got the big television, video games, and electronics going but no real furniture yet. Oh, and of course the Nerf guns. There have been a few skirmishes already that break down pretty quickly due to lack of any real cover. I'm thinking an ottaman will solve that problem.
