Americans Do Not Walk The Walk, And That’s A Growing Problem (via npr)
I detest these moving sidewalks. I walk in the middle and silently judge everyone on them. Mmmhmmm.
Fun Fact: I’ve been to the airport more in the past 7 months than I have the entire rest of my 25 years of existence.

Student: What are you going home to do?
Me: I'm going to relax, too.

You know you've made it big when:
your 8th grade students make you walk over to a large group of their “bros” and they say,
“Yo! This is Ms. C — she’s my teacher. She’s like the best teacher. Seriously.”
and their friends say,
“Aiiiight then. She’s Bro Approved.”
Guys. I’ve made it to the big leagues.

Confession:
[[MORE]]
The mental breakdown that Mr. Schue is having on Glee, man. The mental break down he’s having about his kids of three years leaving and how they changed his life — uh, that’s going to be me in 37 days with my 8th graders. I mean, without the divorce/wedding story.
DON’T JUDGE ME FOR CONTINUING TO WATCH GLEE.
I’m aware it’s a train-wreck within a...

Bobby pins, or lack thereof:
Male student: Ms. C -- uh, did you wake up late this morning? Or did you rush to get ready?
Me: [blank stare] No. Why?
Male student: It's just that - your hair is just there. There's no bobby pins in it.
Me: [blank stare, again] Well, I'm sorry my hair has disappointed you today.

Ahhh-mazing GO FAR practice:
There’s nothing better than a kid [who is struggling] looking over at you and saying, “I can finish.”

– Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie
It’s a different kind of pain you feel when you suddenly remember that everyone you care for lives far from you. You can’t hop in the car and see your family. You can’t meet up for dinner and hug a friend. It’s moments like these when...

Clearly: someone doesn't like me.

Unpopular Opinion:
I feel like people should purge their Facebook every once and awhile. As in: delete older memories that aren’t a part of your life anymore.
