So in our class today we talked about communitable diseases and food borne illness. We were then shown a video that show the proper way to cough and sneeze. In light of the bug that seems to be going around I thought that I would share.

Students Say the Darndest Things

Conversation of the day:

Student: How long is 25 to life?
Me: Um . . . 25 years . . . or longer.
Student: Dang! I thought it was like 2 years.
Me: Why are you asking?
Student: My cousin just got that.
Me: What did he do?
Student: Attempted murder . . . or maybe murder . . . something like that.

Other thoughts:

I have a student with some very interesting special needs. He's a good kid, but a little wacky . . . ok, maybe a lot wacky. A colleague of mine sees him a few class periods after I do. When he is on one, I usually warn her. Today he was fine in my class, though, so there was nothing to warn about. Here is an e-mail she sent me this afternoon.

"Where was my early warning service today? :)

At this point in class he has undressed himself, twice, and turned his shirt inside out. He also declared to the class that the movie The Forty-Year Old Virgin is his destiny and wailed that, "I am lonely! Oh so very lonely!" He has offered hugs to each and every person to walk into the room (the poor counseling aide was so confused), and sang commercials while we took the vocabulary quiz. Oh boy - one more hour to go. :)"

Ready for Updates on the Week in Review?

• James is feeling better. He finally decided to go to Instacare and did have bronchitis. He's been on an antibiotic and seems to be doing better.
• I still have no idea whether I will have a job or not at Murray High, but I should know this week.
• James may still need to go to Texas, but now he said that it would be 3 months, not 3 years. I can't get a straight answer out of him. All I know is nothing weill change until after May of next year when he graduates.
• Before I can start a Master's program I need to make sure that I would be able to teach SLCC Concurrent Enrollment classes with taking any further mat classes. As soon as I hear back from the SLCC dude, I am still planning to continue that.
• Willie's school basketball season is finally over. We're glad. Hopefully things will be better next year.

What else?

• I stubbed my toe this morning on my scary stairs. I thought, "ouch," but then much later realized that it had been bleeding all over. Oops.
• Today was the "Haley Show" in primary. I did the opening exercises, sharing time, and the music. Phew! I am tired just thinking about it. Luckily Beverly, our secretary, was there with me and kept us all together and running!
• The Utes lost yesterday to BY-poo. That was sucky! Oh well. Better luck next time.
• Friday and Saturday night we went with James' family to the 3A basketball tournament at the E Center. Bear River has a good team this year and they ended up winning the championship. Way to go Bears!
