Time to buy milk.
This morning I had a tough time deciding between Pete’s puppy formula and Jeff’s almond milk to make my Cinnamon Toast Crunch with.
I’m still not sure if I made the right choice.

Me: Gurrl, with that breath lemme get you a Senior Mint.
Job Interview Today!
Interviewer: So how well do you handle fast-paced and stressful environments?
Interviewee (aka me): Um, have you ever been left alone in a windowless room with 34 teenagers and been expected to teach them something? I'd say I can handle stress EXTREMELY well.

From one of my sophomores:
Dear Mr. Hall
I want to write you a letter saying that you are the best math teacher I have ever had in my life. I can’t believe you are leaving and I hope that everything in California goes well and that if you become another math teacher at another high school, I hope you find another [redacted]. But that will be hard because you can’t find a lot of...

I informed all my students today that, not only is tomorrow the last day of classes before a week-long winter recess, it will also be my last day as their teacher.
In fact, it will be my last day as anyone’s teacher for the foreseeable future. I explained that at the end of the month I (along with Jeff and Miley) will be packing up our Queens apartment, and moving back to Los Angeles to...

I just can't keep up these days.
First, they* told us there was a new zodiac sign called Ophiuchus, and now they’re trying to introduce us to Tyche, our solar system’s newest and largest planet? I don’t think so.

School Secretary [on my classroom phone right before 1st period]: Mr. Hall, your student-teacher is here.
Me: Um . . . .what?
School Secretary: Your student-teacher. He's here in the main office.
Me: Um!! What?!

Me: No one told me anything about a student-teacher
School Secretary: Oh. Well, he's here. He's going to be following you and observing your classes all day.
Me: wha . . .
School Secretary: I'll send him up [click]
I stood with the phone held up to my ear for the next 10 seconds in disbelief.
