Stuff my Students Say
Student 1: "Ms. L, are you Mexican?"
Me: "Nope, I am Italian."
Student 2: "Why aren't you wearing black and white?"
Me: "Why am I supposed to be wearing black and white?"
Student 2: You know for those people who don't talk but act stuff out...
Me: Mimes?
Student 2: Yea.
Me: I'm still confused why being Italian has to do with mimes.
Student 2: Me too.
Awkward.
Today during a science lab, one of my students was partnered up with a new student (student B). So student A asked me in front of her "is that the new girl?" My response was why don't you ask her and she has a name. So student just looked me, having no idea what to do next. Since I knew student B (new student) already felt awkward, I decided to make student A feel awkward. I literally told her everything to say and made her repeat every line in quotation marks after me so student B could hear. "Hi, are you new here?" - Yes. "What's your name?" - (responded with name) "That's great! I'm student A. Very nice to meet you." .. Awkward pause.. "Let me know if you need help with anything." - Okay thanks. Later.... Student A: Ms. L that was soooooo awkward for me! Me: Imagine how awkward it is for student B being new and not knowing anyone. Lesson Taught. Boom.
Asking hipsters about bands that dont exist. Hilarious haha
2013 ~> 2014
I just made a post on my Facebook regarding the lack of something "Big" happening in 2013. (Sure, Blackhawks winning the Stanley Cup was SAHWEET). Every year since high school, I always tried to do something that I would remember. We're only young once right? Whether it be auditioning for reality shows, flying across the world, graduating college, "Big" things have always happened and this year I didn't think they did but I have to look and reconsider what events I should categorize as "Big." So here go...
- I started a teaching job. Is it a big money maker? No. Do I have my own classroom? No. Do I have to work two jobs so support myself? Yes. Do I actually love my job though? Absolutely. It's my first full-time job that taught me how to teach. All the things I have picked up from my coworkers are things I can bring to my own classroom whenever that happens some day.
- I was dumped by a GREAT guy. It sucks to admit he is great, even worse to hear how great he is but we did not work out. Sure, I was heartbroken but I had to improve the relationship with myself to realize what I catch am. I had to love myself enough to know that walking away and moving on was the best things I could do. Going into new relationships and back on the dating scene, I am a more confident woman and do not put up with things I don't deserve. This new love for myself gave me some undiscovered confidence, Samantha Jones Style.
- Finally, not the most positive of events. My family's world was turned upside down when we found out my non-smoking uncle was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. In the midst of overcoming bouts of prostate cancer, lung cancer crept its way in. My uncle is one of the men who has such a positive influence in my life. I love the way he loves my aunt and they are the definition of a great marriage. So what's the "BIG" positive thing that happened here? I got to watch my uncle laugh and smile and talk to family members on Christmas. My mom, a nurse, doubted he would make it this far but I did get to spend two holidays (Christmas and Thanksgiving) with him. That to me is the "Big"gest surprise and event that I will remember and cherish most this year.
Happy New Year Everyone! Let's make something BIG happen in 2014.
I Am a Teacher
I AM A TEACHER I went to college, got a four year degree. Was required to go back to college and get a Master's Degree. I applied for many positions and even worked as a substitute teacher. I endured state and national testing. I was finger printed and background checked. I trained before, during, and after my training/ education. I continue to train because I am a lifelong learner. Since full time employment, I have sacrificed time, sleep, and Family. I have sacrificed my own money year after year to provide for my students. I am a teacher. I have learned, lasted, endured change, endured further change, and endured orders to embrace the change. While you were sleeping, I have corrected papers and tests, researched and created, and endured harassing phone calls and emails with grace and professionalism. I teach the kids who live on your streets. I teach the kids that have been bailed out of jail. I teach the kids who have been kicked out of psychiatric centers because they were beyond help. I teach the kids whose home situations you could never imagine even in your worst nightmares. I teach ALL students no matter their socio-economic status, race, ethnicity, medical/ psychiatric condition, good or poor attitude, religion, family circumstances. When accused by the federal and state government for being part of a failing system, I endure name calling, shame, and criticism simply because I am a teacher. I am professionally evaluated on two days worth of test scores and not the amount of time and effort I put into my teaching. And despite it all, I AM a teacher And devoted to this noble calling.

Reflection before New School Year
It's another first day of school. This time I am not the student. This time I am a teacher. Countless thoughts are running through my head about the upcoming year but in the end I am optimistic and confident. Although I do not have my own classroom, I still have the same, if not more, of an impact than lead teachers. In the end, making a difference for my students is my main objective. Sure, it would have been nice to secure a teaching position this year but I STILL affect the students that walk into the various classrooms I will work in. Here's to another year. New challenges. New opportunities. New 6th graders and of course seeing my former students, the 7th graders.

She fell, she hurt, she felt. She lived. And for all the tumble of her experiences, she still had hope. Maybe this next time would do the trick. Or maybe not. But unless you stepped into the game, you would never know.

Conversations with my Frother
“In relationships, people lose feelings all the time. Feelings come and go. There are ups and downs. People either choose to stick through it or not. That’s what makes a relationship work. He decided to not stick it out. That’s on him and this is a lesson he’ll have to learn. You were ready to stick it out and know how but you will find the one who will stick it out for you.”
“You'll find another.' God! Banish the thought. Why don't you tell me that 'if the girl had been worth having she'd have waited for you'? No, sir, the girl really worth having won't wait for anybody.”

LMAOO Miami is too real. Bitches killing dudes and flicking off NBA players.
If this is real... Oh mylanta
The most intense NBA photo ever. At Heat-Bulls Game 2, a fan gives Joakim Noah the finger as he leaves the the court. Faces were made.

Way to keep it classy, Miami Heat fans. If these were my parents I’d slap them upside the head. Imbeciles.
I understand that people can get emotional over sports, but this kind of garbage isn’t necessary. It’s one thing to boo and heckle. There’s no need to put your finger all up in someone’s face. Jeez.
What is wrong with people?
