(no subject)

Today at lunch, I got up, took a step, tripped over my feet, did five slow motion flaily steps, then crashed down with a bit of a bounce off my hip. I have scratches on the palms of both hands and on one of my ankles.

Of course, I did this in front of about forty people.

But the nice thing about not being in high school and not being a teenager any more is this: I thought it was funny, too. Except for the pain bits. And the bits where my hands are scratched right where I rest my weight when I ride my bike, which is annoying.

No classes tomorrow -- yay! I have, instead, signed up to go to a lesson writing summit where a bunch of us are piling into a room to write lesson plans for the Toronto Star. I'm looking forward to it. We get free pizza.

i suppose now is not the time to point and laugh at your compulsive need to cling to academia? :D

This is not academia, oh plebian of my heart. This is portfolio building and making a difference all rolled in to one. It may even get me a job one day and in the mean time will help teachers all over Canada and the United States teach their students about Important Issues.

Which is, like, y'know. REALLY COOL.

yes but it's a CLASS in portfolio building and making a difference :P

It is not! It is a group of people who have volunteered to write lesson plans for the Toronto Star and a currently un-named (but I know who it is) corporate sponser getting together in one place. There is no instruction and no structure. Only pizza.

:p

There will be no learning -- only teaching.

On my part, I mean.

Someone will learn.

Eventually.

But, um, not me.

HI!
