GRAAAAAAAAAR

I substituted for an English class at my old high school. It was... pretty bad. I think one of the most frustrating things about substituting, other than the fact that they're defiant teenaged punks, is that I constantly have to tell them to watch their language and act like I never use inappropriate language when all I want to do is tell them to shut the fuck up! Hahaha. Seriously, they just poke and prod, poke and prod, because they're trying to get a rise out of me, and all I can do is try to roll with it and ignore them or threaten them with punishments they don't even care about. What is a substitute to do? Well, actually, younger kids tend to be much better because you can threaten them with cutting down on recess or other such things. Anyway... it also seems I'm faced with the same questions whenever substituting in a high school class...

Are you married? How old are you? What school did you go to? Did you party? Do you smoke? Do you drink? And I always answer truthfully and the same... No, older than you, Berkeley, No, No, No.

A lot of cool movies are coming out that I'm interested in seeing starting in May... Prince Caspian (of course, I mean... come on!), Speed Racer, Indiana Jones, Get Smart, Sex and the City, etc, etc, etc.
