Discussion 35 - 5/24/09

Hello again Internets! Thanks for logging in!

WOW. It's here. I can't believe this is our last blog of the year.

I want each of you to know that this has been the funnest year I've ever taught. I've TRULY enjoyed this year, and that is not something I've been able to say of every year I've taught (last year would be a perfect example . . . it was a whippin').

I've also really enjoyed moving into the realm of the blogosphere. I've read every single one of your thoughts. I've agreed with some of you, disagreed with some of you, and laughed at loud at least once during almost every blog. I want to thank yall for that.

So here are some of my favorite memories of the year, in no particular order:

1. Me: "Ashton, what's it gonna take for you to finish this project?" Ashton: "Mrs. L. it's gonna take a prayer, an exorcism and another hour."

2. Me: "Mr. Brice, you have to leave. Three Allensworth's in one room is one too many. Really, it's two too many."

3. Me: "Jacob Falcon, you have professional photo tools at your disposal, why on EARTH are you in paint?" Jacob: "But I can make it bigger in Paint Mrs. L!"

4. Manny and his continual struggle with anything electronic. I can honestly say in all of the people I've taught I truly DO think electronics hate you. Sorry darlin'.

5. Agustin, dancing on the table and thinking that I wouldn't really write him up for it. Well, I did.

6. That Guy. 'Nuff said.

7. Thinking that Ruben H. was actually Ruben C. the first day I saw him standing in my doorway. He will forever be known as The Other Ruben to me.

8. The quiet in the room that finally resulted from April and Maria being moved apart (although I thought Blake's head would explode for a while . . . either that or he would become fluent in Spanish).

9. Quinterra: "Mrs. L! That was NOT a fall! Do NOT write that on the board!"

And possibly the funniest teaching moment ever . . .

10. Me to Third Period: "Does EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM see me walking in here with this big 'ole bag of weed? Everybody?

For this week, I want you to log in and tell me what you enjoyed about this year. It doesn't have to be about my class, it can be anything about your school year. OR you can leave advice for the next class coming after you. Either way.

And for my seniors . . . one last time . . .

It's time for the Friday Talk. Wanna hear it? Here it goes . . .
No drinkin' and drivin'.
No RIDING with anybody drinkin' and drivin'.
No doing anything illicit, illegal, unethical or immoral.
No kissin' on anybody of the opposite sex.
No kissin' on anybody of the SAME sex.
IN FACT, why don't you just stay home.
You may go to church on Sunday,
and go have lunch with your elderly grandmother,
but you must come IMMEDIATELY home and study.
That is all. Have a lovely weekend.

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER EVERYBODY!!!

Dietrich,R-3 said...

I dont know what my favorite moment in this class. I have always enjoyed this class because it isnt boring... (unlike history) and is fun.... (unlike history) and needs to be longer so that other classes will be shorter (like histoy). That is all.

Gonzalez, C-1 said...

I unno. I don't have favorites...Who am I kidding MRS.LANHAM RULES!! WOOHOO! Favorite class all year...aside from the project dealio...I'm terrible at time management and I'm an awsome procrastinator so uhhh...yeah. Other than that it was flippin awsome I guess...just another year of my life wasted on high school...yaaay!

Hernandez, Ruben 3rd said...

anderson,p-3 said...

cruz,raymond,a-class3 said...

wow i cant believe it either, its really almost over. mrs.L i would have 2 say that this class was my favorite class this year and im ganna miss you and my 3rd period class mates, im so glad you let us drive u insane all year.

otis,j-3 said...

I have to say this year was a little hectic at first,(moving from Virginia all the way here to Texas). It was a long trip but I settled down fast and got some good teachers this year!(Mrs. Perry and yes, you Mrs. L!)
NEVER expected to see a teacher walk into the classroom with a dime-sack!(i thought it was yours at first mrs. L, JK!) Well it's been a good year and i guess my only advice to anyone for next year is to keep your eyes peeled in the hallway (wouldn't want anyone to trip over a big ole' bag a' weed!!) --EVERYONE HAVE A GOOD SUMMER!--

tutt,matthew said...

My fav moment was ,without a doubt, Mrs. L walking into the classroom with the dime sack (as Pat said) of weed. Mrs. L really needs to learn how to hide her stuff beter. lol!!!

och,s-4 said...

My senior year was nice...apart from the "misunderstandings" that I had with a certain someone. I loved this class, mostly because we had some really cool (and weird...Dylan and "Ball") people to keep us entertained. I enjoyed making friends with the people I have been going to school with for 12 years now. I will miss all of them and cannot wait till Christmas break when everyone is in town again. What fun! It's crazy that the people you never thought to talk to could become people you would make really cool memories with...*tear*. Thanks for this year, Mrs. L.

allensworth, d4 said...

this was DEFFFINATELY my favorite class of the year and one of my favorites for my entire highschool year.....everyday i looked forward to coming in here and 1) doin fun stuff on the computers(i really enjoyed everything we did in here) and 2)....pissin mrs L off....that was the best part. i want to thank you for everything you've taught my this year mrs L and for bein such a cool teacher....you know how to teach and still have fun while doing so....i think that is AWSOME!!!!!!!!!! i hope you have a GREAT SUMMER and me and my triplets will be back to visit fo sho! ;)

Auxier, Emily - 4 said...

Oh what a year.

This was by far my favorite class that I had this year. Our class was small to begin with.. and then became even more small due to Nubs, Austin, Andrew & J-Curl leaving. I was sad about my little nubs... her poor hand. Austin (I was rather pleased to not have him sittin beside me annoying the CRAP out of me everyday. I swear some days I just wanted to punch in straight in the Groin.

*For thoes who dont know the situation, remember thoes notes that we had to take for weeks that we all wanted to die from? Well he would delete MY stuff ever oh.. 5 MINUTES! So yah thats why I despised him.

Anywho - having to get it through Dylan's head that there would be NO love scenes with me and him when we were making our movie posters.. (I still dont think that he understands)

I loved Mrs. L constantly asking if everyone was on crack!

The whole Cheerleading Gun thing was an experience... The Tyra Banks Show trying to get ahold of me so I would go on there show and be humiliated infront of the World.. No Thank You.
No I WONT shoot you...
If you are lucky.

Then when the Seniors beat the Juniors in the Powderpuff game!
*30-0
*I ran a 30 yard touchdown!

That pretty much sums it all up for the most part =)

Ill be in your class again next year!

allensworth, d4 said...

and i wont miss you zack....i have to spend EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE with you.....so yeah....

borerw-4 said...

i don't realy have a favorite memory but this has been my favorite class in all of high school :)

och,s-4 said...

P.S. Mrs. L - You should judge they thows!!!! hehe.

Brice, R-4 said...

MRS.L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the best class I have had my entire high school career. Seriously without this class I would have gone insane this year with boredom. YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!! And ever since you called me a allensworth people keep thinking im related to them haha.

My favorite moment in this class was probably when zack came in during 4th period and you told him he could only have your daughter over your d*** (bad word :D) dead body. That was the funniest thing I have ever heard a teacher say ever!

edwards, a - 4 said...

I was a bit of a newbie when I first came to this animation and multimedia class, but I am really glad I learned so much in such a short year (seriously, this year was way too SHORT). I had so much fun, too, even though I was the QUIET one and I didn't show it that I was having that much fun but I was. Thank you soo much, Mrs. L.

taylor, Q - 6 said...

this was a very fun class....i didnt think i was going to like it at first, because of those freaking notes we had to take everyday...uuggh!!...actually i thought everything was dumb until we finally actually started doin the projects...i had fun in here...in both class periods i like 4th better tho...im goin to miss my next door neighbor STACY OCH....NOT IM GLAD SHE'S LEAVING...LOL...

Brice, R-4 said...

Zack it was my pleasure sharing my nickels with you this year. Don't think your rid of me yet though we still have summer and SFA together so we still have plenty of nickels to spend!

och,s-4 said...

Even though she acts like she isn't going to miss me, Quinterra is going to cry EVERY day next school year because she won't be able to see me. I'll text her a bit, though, to dry her tears temporarily...not during school time - for her - of course...NO TEXTING IN CLASS NEXT YEAR, QUIN!! So I'm going to say goodbye to her in this blog. So long, Quincy-Terrible!!

Abdul-786 said...

i can't belevie the year is almost over adn we only have three days left. i learned a lot this year i m happy about being able to learn photoshop and audacity and i also learned a little accounting this year!!

Byrd,N-6 said...

my favorite moment this year was watching logan almost do a flip in his chair and earning the one and only 10 in falls this year, congrats

Meredith,B-6 said...

I would have to say that this really is my favorite class its the only reason I wouldnt leave everyday at lunch. However my favorite memory in here is messing with mrs. L when she was trying to practice for a video or the few times I almost fell and she'd get excited for a second but then be disapointed cuz i caught myself =D
it's been fun mrs. L I'll miss it.

Anonymous said...

what up brown cow?
what up white rabbit?

I'ma kick your chair.

Advice- don't touch you're phone. Don't accidentally leave it on, even if it's in your backpack.

Maness, J-6 said...

this has by far been the best year of high school for me. the year of bests and a worst actually. just my car wreck. but other than that its been great. its also the first year i could drive, which was a nice liberty since i didnt have to depend on my parents to drive me everywhere anymore. my favorite memory of this class was probably listening to chase sing every day.

lee, s - 7 said...

IN SUMMER YEAR, I WANT TO LEAVE THAT SCHOOL IN THIS YEAR AND LAST DAY. FINALLY THIS FOUR TO GO DAY. I WANT TO GO TO MY UNCLE'S HOUSE. I WANT TO PLAY COMPUTER SO MUCH. ALSO WATCH ON COMPUTER TOO.

i going to cry every day of the week and weekend unitl we come to skool so i can come in you class and talk with you and speak with you too.

murillo, j - 1 said...

What I learned in class this year was when we did music of my life and how we get to pick our own music and put pictures in each song and how we edit the five songs in the computer and delete parts in the music that have bad words and write what the songs means and what it is saying in the music.

robles,l-3 said...

Well since I missed the weed incident. My favorite moment of this year was when I was in my senior band trip. I had a lot of fun. I still would have wished I would have been here when the bag of weed was found.

packard,a-2 said...

all moments in your class were my favorite, except the ones in flash!! i love you mrs.l and i cant wait for next year so i can make more wonderfull memories. but next year you should switch it up and bust out a crack pipe or needle instead of weed!! lol!! see you next year!! have fun this summer!!

now for a little CMAT remix of teardorops on my guitar.



Teardrops on my keyboard.

Lanhan looks at me i fake a smile so she wont see that i want and i need to bang my head so violently.

i bet its cool that site she talks about. its got everything she cant live without.

lanham talks to me i laugh cuz she's just so funny. i cant even see F1 when i'm crying. she says she's got a soda. she finally got it right. i wonder if she nows flash haunts me till midnight.

your the reason for the teardrops on this keyboard, the only reason i bang my head on my de-esk, your the nag in my head i keep hearin' to press F1.

lanham walks by me cant she tell that i cant get it. and there she goes with a bag of weed, the kind of scandal i wish i could see. she better roll it tight. give it all her lungs. look in that beautiful bag and no she's lucky cuz

your the reason for the teardrops on my keyboard, the only reason i bang my head on my de-esk, your the nag in my head i keep hearin' to press F1.

so i walk out alone as she turns off the light ill put my flash drive down and maybee get some sleep tonight.

your the reason for the teardrops on my keyboard, the only one whos enough for me to break my skull. she's the nag in my head saying it's time to turn it in.

flash is the time taken up but there's never enough.
and she's all i need to fall into..

lanham looks at me, i run away so i dont

bleeeeeeeeeeeeeed.


this was a
mrs. l inspired
song remix from none
other than shaylynn packard

Copeland, Juston7 said...

Jones,C-1 said...

the thing i enjoyed most about this year was that it was my junior year meaning next year is my senior year and then ill be out of highschool!

Tri-Edge said...

True story

martines,j-1 said...

i like working on flash making the little films

arriola,brett-1 said...

my favorite moment was when ashely sang all class period long!!!!

Calderon,A-1 said...

I enjoy everything in all my classes. ESPECIALLY WHEN I DANCED ON THE DESK FOR CRYSTAL'S PROJECT, AND DID NOT GET WRITTEN UP!!!
i also liked when we film in first period, it was AWESOME!!!
i like everything i will miss all of my stupid things that i did. (THANKS MRS. L FOR THE BLOOPER REEL DVD) so to all the new students i will say DO NOT DANCE ON THE DESK. SHE REALLY WROTE ME UP FOR DOING THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ashley Manis said...

The use of nicknames;
Brett = Brettzilla
Chase = Oram (lulz)

Sitting in the back of the class with Chase, Brett, and Stephen. ALSO running around trying to find a place to do our "invisible push-ups" and stealing this wall thing from shop class. Oh and singing to Brettzilla =D

By far, my MOST favorite moments with people in this class was sitting next to Ashton. He's a trip and a half. I enjoyed getting to know him for a few weeks. And then Channel at the blood drive. She held my hand =)

Gilbreath,J-1 said...

Advice for next year's peeps:

1. Mrs. L does not like slackers. Do not slack. She'll rip off your arm, beat you to a bloody pulp, bar-b-q you, pour A1 steak sauce on you, and eat you.

2. When in doubt, pressing F1 doesn't help as much as Mrs. L says it does.

3. If you fall, it gets recorded. Mine was a 7, until I complained. Then it got turned into a 7.5. YAY!

4. Do not close photoshop randomly. It makes the power go out. I did it, ask Mrs. L.

5. If you feel like you're being stared at, it's probably because Mrs. L is glaring at you and wondering what wonderful words of encouragement she can give you.

Words about favorite stuff...:

Closing photoshop and the power shutting off. That was epic win for me. Then there was counting Mr. Chaddick's 'agains', with a record of 28 or so in one announcement. There was also readin manga when possible.

In general, this was my favorite class next to French. I hope Mrs. L stays. She's coolness in a can, when she has her caffeine.

This be Jacob, signing off. *crash, boom, bang, random explosion*...I'm ok!

cano,ruben-7 said...

hahaha...my best memory of this year was the first day of school and the last day...yea babe!!!
...ohh and the day that a named Jacob T.a White Rabbit!!!

Liles, T-1 said...

Well this year was great, full of ups and downs, epic rejections and epic failures, and Ashley finally realizing just how much she was in love with me:) But i feel i must leave some advice for all in the future.

If someone offers you drugs...JUST TAKE THEM!...because if you say no, you land yourself in county.

Well farewell Mrs. L, and i wish i could see all of you one last time.
Especially you Stephen! Stop being mad at Olivia! Shes just young and confused...

Liles, T-1 said...

TEXT ME SOMETIME!

yes i mean you ashley...

Rigsby,D-1 said...

yo what up. I just wanted to see if you would keep in touch with a brother since I won't be around next year,and if it's cool I might post a few blogs next year. Imma miss a lot. Hope to hear back from you. Don't really know why you would see if people blog in the summer but I will to keep in touch.

Lanham said...

Hey D! Of course imma keep in touch with a brother. Please do blog with us next year. I might post a couple of update blogs this summer too. Also look me up on Facebook. Holla.

Ray Cole said...

Well, I totally forgot about this over the weekend...This years was one the my favorite, We had so much fun first period. I can't really pick a favorite moment because there were so many. The experience in your class would have been completely different if the people in it changed, we were lucky to have such fun people first period.

P.S- Are you ready for Beth to start Heroes?

Deckard, D-3 said...
