Oh, the things they say...

So the other day I went to the business office to procure some mini post-it notes. There was a new student working there. Let's call him Bill. (Yes, I know his real name.) Anyway, I had introduced myself to him about two days before, so I said, "Hey Bill, can I get some little post-it notes?" Bill said, "Are they for you or a teacher?"

I informed him that I am a teacher. Anyway, I bring this up because it happens disturbingly often and I don't know whether I should take it as a compliment or not. On the one hand there's the fact that lots of people think I look young enough to be a high school student. On the other hand there's the fact that lots of people think I look young enough to be a high school student. I think you know what I mean.

Is it because of things like this?

I'm not really sure. We were in a hotel in Virginia, before all my stuff was stolen (I don't have that shirt anymore) and watching Colbert, pretty exciting, because we don't usually have tv. Also, I think I was really tired. So basically... I don't know. It was one of a series, if that helps.

Angela, that picture is great!

And as for your comment on my blog--it's taken me a LONG time to figure all this stuff out even a little bit. Mr. Blake has really prompted me to be proactive. Part of the reason I blog it is so that next year I remember, "Oh, yeah, that's what this stuff means!"

Sometimes I'm a really slow learner... :)
