Howdy Folks!
Welcome to your last blog of the year!
Can you believe we've been in this room together for 10 months? I know I can't. I'm so excited for summer to get here. For the first time in my adult life I'm going to have the WHOLE summer off. As in no college classes. No summer school. No work of any type. I'm VERY EXCITE! (Borat reference)
But . . . I've got lots of really good memories of this year. I can honestly say I've truly enjoyed our time together. So many of you guys have made me laugh. You guys have been a lot of fun. And we've gotten a lot done too. Think about everything we've been through . . . six weeks of drill and kill. Adobe Illustrator. Photoshop. InDesign. Audacity. Flash. Whew! Makes me tired just thinking about all that stuff.
And for you DGA people, lemme just say thanks for paving the way for this new AVP class that's coming. You guys have been willing to dive in and work out some of the bugs and I appreciate that.
So to honor our year together I thought I'd put together a list of stuff that's come out of my mouth this year. And also a list of stuff that's come out of some of your mouths too. Just for grins.
Out of my mouth:
1. I'm JUST sayin'
2. Get up or get out!
3. I don't have a magical answer to pull out of my butt for that.
4. I feel like poo.
5. Has your heart stopped beating?
6. That makes me wanna bang my head on the desk.
7. Please do not make me get up and come over there and kick your chair.
8. I'm gonna need you to go ahead and stop doing drugs right about lunchtime.
9. Have you pressed F1?
10. (@ Seth) Get that "O" off your broccoli!
11. I'm gonna need you to simmer and settle (more times that not @ Cassidy Lyn)
12. Save frequently!
13. Do not waste this day . . . you will need it on the back end of this project!
14. It scares me that you know how long a body would continue to live without it's head attached (@ Magali).
AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE . . .
15. 'Cuz if I ain't happy, ain't none of yall gonna be happy either! (@ Advisory, affectionately known as Bebe's kids).
From other people's mouths:
1. I don't do drugs! (Kenneth Crenshaw)
2. Ms. L, I *AM* the radar (Vincent Cole, when I told him he needed to get off of administration's radar).
3. I'm so more than tired today (again Vincent, right before I suggested he go to bed sometime before 4am)
4. Gucci baby! (Neontay, at least 1000 times in my room. He's obsessed I'm tellin' yall.)
5. Leave us alone! We're working! (4th period?)
6. Cesar G, taking baggies out for his project: "Survivors . . .", "Zombies . . ."
So for your last blog of the year I want you to do at least one of three things:
A. Add to my list.
B. Tell me your favorite class memory.
C. Leave a piece of advice for the classes coming next year (ala Mrs. Christian)
And once more, for posterity:
It's time for the Friday talk. Wanna hear it? Here it goes . . .
No drinking and driving.
No riding with anybody drinking and driving.
No doing anything illegal, unethical, illicit or immoral.
No kissing on anybody of the opposite sex.
No kissing on anybody of the same sex.
In fact? Why don'tcha 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 summer.
