My autobiographical poem

This is from the lesson I taught Saturday. I really enjoyed hearing everyone's poem... I know you all read mine, since it was the example on the board, but I wanted to put it up here just because.

Criss
Creative and opinionated
Who likes cats and Hello Kitty
Who dislikes ignorance, arrogance, and apathy
Who needs her laptop, Pandora, and a good book
Who fears global climate change and deforestation
Who dreams one day of being a best-selling author
Resident of Texas

Hello Spring 2010!

I spent today working on getting all the students scheduled into their new classes for the spring semester (which starts the day after tomorrow). I had to wrestle a little with Blumen, the computer program we use to keep track of students and classes and all that fun stuff, but I managed to hold my own in the end.

I'm excited about this semester! Last semester I had lots of ideas I wanted to try out, but I was just getting to know the students and getting to know the system, how all this works, so my grand ideas didn't get too far off the ground... kind of like the blogging thing. But this semester? We've got it together :P This semester we'll be rocking the blogging, and I promise to read and leave comment love on y'all's blogs. (Feel free to do the same here! :P )
