INSANITY
Yes, as of week three I have come to my senses and decided I was INSANE to choose teaching as a profession.
I.N.S.A.N.E.
The work load is I.N.S.A.N.I.T.Y.
However, on the upside I have a fantastic bunch of kids, and I mean really, really fantastic kids, and I can see how next summer I might, just maybe, look back and think ‘Hey, y’know? I think I actually DID have some fun! Maybe that one day – that first Saturday of Christmas break – that day was not so work-like, and if I squint and think back real hard I think it might have been kinda fun. At the time.’
Anyway, my advisory (a group of students that I am supposed to get to know really well) has chosen to represent Sealand during the upcoming Advisory Olympics.
What is the Advisory Olympics you ask? Well, this year we banned the ‘Cucumber Pass’ event. Last year’s participants had to put a cucumber between their legs and then pass it to a team member, who, you guessed it, had to accept it with their thighs.
Despite the raging popularity of this event, Olympic Officials have deemed it unwise given the impending Swine Flu epidemic.
Anyway, you get the general idea.
Here are our T-shirt designs:

are you sure it was the impending hini (a child’s nickname for H1N1) flu or the possibility that Freud would have had a field-day with the cucumber pass activity that caused the official ban? hehehehe (;
as for the insanity part…thanks for the warning…i’ll be sure to skip that thought if i ever have it…
While saddened by the loss of such an obviously enriching experience as the cucumber pass (were the cucumbers standardized?), I Love the Sealand choice. Must be pretty cool kids. You don’t fool me. I detect fun.
hey, 3 months of no posting? did the insanity get to you? did they take you away in a strait-jacket?
Hey,
