Funny moment of the day: About 8:35 am. A student from my period 2 class comes by period 1 to visit with me.
"Miss, you're a math teacher too, right?" he says in a very serious tone with a puzzled look on his face.
"Yes, I teach math as well as science," I say, bracing myself for some complex mathematical question. His tone suggested something of differential calculus or perhaps numbers of the imaginary sort.
"Okay... so if David Beckham makes $710 000 per week, how much is that a month?"
I honestly think I will eventually develop some sort of disorder that is related to holding in laughter, because I have to do it so often. Apparently you must have your math teaching qualifications to multiply a big number by four. Just so you know. So, if any of you ever have a difficult question like that, feel free to send it along to me. I like to share my expertise.
On the subject of Beckham, I wish I was paid $250 000 000 for 5 years. Okay, if that wasn't the most pointlessly obvious thing I've ever said, I don't know what is. But, eff it, that's a quarter of a billion for kicking a ball around!! Really, there is something just a little wrong with the world when some people get insanly high salaries and others are starving.
Sigh, anyway, I won't bother pondering the problems with our world because that is not the way to start a weekend. Hmm, I think I may take a little nap, before I figure out what I'd like to do with evening 1 of my weekend with no plans.
Happy weekend!

the skill of holding in laughter is still to be developed with me. I would look at the kid with the face of 'are you serious' and then reply ' well, you take your calculator and multiply this big number by this little number'
lol, at the Office episode. How about that scene with Dwight and Jim selling paper, I didn't expect that at all. They actually work quite well together.
Have fun on your weekend without plans. :)
I too enjoyed the office episode. Dwight was in top form I must say!!
I’m very disappointed that you didn’t give us the answer to your students question. Now I will never know what he makes in a month. But maybe I don’t want to know because then I will start pondering the sadness of the world and that is no way to end a weekend either.
You should blog about your tremendous finds a Lush!!
