So much to do and-LOOK! a bunny!

So here I am with Hachi and we are working on our final deals with methods teaching. Mostly it is editing our recordings. a painful process since the computer I am currently typing on is old as dirt and tends to freeze if you run more than one thing at a time. Yea, I am typing here on the Blogger, but hell, I am a procrastinator extraordinaire.

In other news gonna see a jazz recital tonight. Both Hachi and I need to see it for our Urban Schools Project. I like Jazz so it should be an interesting night.

Been looking at other games to play since my amount of free time is increasing with the winding down of school work. Thought of just going back to WoW. But then again, I've played that for 2 straight years. The new content may be neat and all and knowing me I will attempt to play, then spring will roll around and I will be too busy to even look at the shiny box.

Last thought: Domo

Tonight was a good night

I actually enjoyed myself tonight. Shortly after my last post, Hachi and I went to meet Yuki at a roller rink. We engaged in great shenanigans. Not really. We all rolled around in an oval. "Rolled" heh, no. We all wobbled for a good twenty-five yards, then we made sad attempts at turning left before hitting anything solid (including people). Hachi fell on her butt in the rink, then again off the rink. Yuki and I made fun of Hachi for falling until we were getting ready to leave then as she was sitting to remove her roller blades, Yuki fell on her butt. So as it stands, I am the only one who was not a victim to gravity.

After the rolling we all made our way to Taco Bell and ate. During the eating we were reading and laughing at the new Verde and Roasted whatever sauces that were available. Hachi made made a comment about photoshopping the packets to change the text. I grabbed her a random packet of the HOT sauces that read "Marry me?" considering our past, my face burned a little as both Hachi and Yuki thought the irony was too much.

I began to think Puck was playing tricks when we drove by an Arby's not long after. The Arby's sign had most of its lights out with the exception of the hat shape, the letter "s" and the right half of the "y" making the sign look like it said J'S. Yes, I am pretty certain readers will see that as the possessive "J's" as if some person named "J" owned the franchise. I saw it as that at first until I realized that "J" and "S" are the first initials in Hachi's first name and my first name, respectively. So, Puck is probably giggling off the stage of life at us.

*Puck is a mystical figure from English lore as well as Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Student on Teacher Violence

I posted this as a status on my FB already but I think it should be reported here in more detail. One of my students in my methods placement punched me in the head. Some that read that sentence are most likely aghast that a student would hit someone that takes every possible moment to crack-wise at the expense of his students. No, this was merely an accident.

The student, I cannot recall his name (lie) so lets call him Caboose, was sitting adjacent to where I was seated. He was at his table, I was at the back desk. Periodically the student would stretch, apparently he is a very stiff person. Well after I had taken over the class for a quick review while my Cooperating teacher was making copies for the following class, I sat back at my seat next to Caboose. As if by clockwork Caboose began to make a big stretch. I turned to see his fist slowly proceeding to my forehead. I waited thinking to myself "he's gonna hit me, he's gonna hit me, heeeeeee's gonna hit me." *bop*

Caboose turned to see that I was the object that he hit with his fist. His face turned cherry red, his eyes widened, and he went down laughing - hard. the girls around him cackled and babbled through their laughing that Caboose hit a student teacher.

Near the end of class my Cooperating teacher made a comment to Caboose not to assault any more methods students. Many laughs were had at Caboose's expense.
