D-D-D-Day 1!

So I used to really be into the whole xanga posting deal in college but pulled away from it because it just created too much drama in my life. HOWEVER, my life is just to funny these days to not post something. I decided that the gmail blogger is way more grown up, so I will give it a whirl...I would be willing to bet money on the fact that only my family will read this- but I can live with that.



So yesterday was the first day back to school since the weekend due to Martin Luther King Jr. (God bless that man!). I had gotten a haircut over the weekend, which for most people is a small part of life. For a teacher, haircuts/dying your hair/any other alteration to your normal appearance is a particularly traumatizing experience for those kids in your classroom who don't do change. I got my hair cut at a place that is completely posh and the difference is pretty outstanding (if I might say so myself...). I spent a significant amount of time styling it on Tuesday morning given that I wanted to sport my new do and be as hot as I felt. My class walked in and sat down. One of my students blurts out, "What happened to your hair?" I smiled and opened my mouth to tell them I had gotten a haircut when he finished it up with, "Did you forget to comb your hair today?" I wanted to stick my head under the sink.



I am shocked as to how sad I am that Heath Ledger died yesterday. My roommates and I decided that we are sad because he was so totally our generation. It pains me to be asked questions about what I consider to be Pop Culture by my students and they stair at me blankly as I explain what movies he was in. To commemorate his life we all wore black- with little blue ribbons on our shirts that say "Smile" because of his great smile. Life just isn't the same without him. I will be having a Ledger movie weekend, I can tell you that much.



I need to go work out, so for now! Peace out!
