the student-achievement awards are being tallied. some of my favorites so far are:

"most likely to take a vacation" award
"i've been partying all night, so i'm going to sleep in your class" award
"i have too much talent to be stuck in your class" award
"it IS in my voice" award
"my big beautiful eyes would rather be closed" award
"i look like 50 cent, but i'm much more charming" award
"gotta get up outta here and graduate" award
"yeah, i skipped school to go to jackson" award
"my baby kept me up all last night, but i still got my work done" award
"i'm going to flirt with the substitute while you're gone" award

awards will be given to seniors tomorrow and the other kids next monday. fun times at the good ol' high.

hey, i heard from one of my seniors that the jackass who pulled me over is rude to everybody, not just me. they call him "mean nate" or something like that, and the kid said that he really lives up to his name. he didn't argue my point that one of the reasons i've been pulled over so much (4 times in less than a year!) for stupid shit (stop signs, EVERY TIME) is because i'm a yankee. he, on the other hand, has gotten out of DUIs AND speeding (110 in a 55) somehow. interesting, eh? he did let another teacher and i know where to buy the cheapest keg for the party next weekend, however. how funny is that? yep, the kids are crazy-fun-wild. love em.
