Hump Day
Ok, let me start by spazzing about American Idol. I've never watched a season of AI all the way through. I've always watched the auditions, and then some in between. This season I got addicted to it. I even voted last night for the winner. Granted, Paris should've been up there in the final 2, but I can handle Taylor being in the final 2. First things first. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO CLAY AIKEN'S HAIR?! I had a flashback to 8th grade when I screamed out loud about Zack's long girly hair...because I screamed when I saw Clay. Had it not been for the horrible Clay look-alike, I would've been wondering who the hell was singing. Second, is it bad that I knew, without having to hear Ryan Seacrest announce him, that it was Burt Bacarach coming on stage only because of my knowledge of Austin Powers? I was half paying attention to the TV, but looked over and saw him walking on stage. I thought, "huh, that's Burt Bacarach...he's from Austin Powers." And my final rumination about tonight's episode...Why did they have to show David Hasslehoff tearing up after they announced the winner?! Honestly, did they HAVE to do that?
Ok, here's something that brought a smile to my face everytime I thought about it today (and I'm smiling now even thinking about what I'm going to write!). Each month I have to pick a student for the "Wrangler of the Month". This month was hard since we've only been in school for about 10 days. I was trying to think of kids who behaved all the time, and were doing well in school...and weren't a pain in the bee-hind these past 10 days. I thought about it, and I decided to choose my mini 50 Cent. He's been trying so hard to stay on green all day every day. He hasn't left green since we've gotten back, AND he's been setting a great example for the rest of the class. I was just way to proud of his transformation to let it slip by without some recognition. I sent a letter home from the office letting the parents know he was getting an award, and he came in today with a grin on his face when I asked the class to line up for the assembly. It was really cute. When I got up there to introduce him to the school, I could see him beaming from ear to ear when I looked out at him. The assistant principal was really shocked and congratulated him when he came up on stage. For the rest of the assembly any time he caught me looking at him, he beamed from ear to ear and pointed at his award. He was so proud of himself, and I was really proud of him. He even left the pencil that came with his award on my desk tonight so no one would take it. I'm so proud of him!
The rest of the day didn't go so well, but I don't think I want to go into detail about it. Long story short, thought I was going to get reamed this afternoon when I had my post observation meeting.
I think I want to come home. Being home this weekend solidified that decision. As I was getting closer and closer to the airport, I kept saying that I didn't want to head back to Vegas...and then as I flew over Madison, tears began welling up. I just don't know what I want to do right now...
Off to bed...this is the latest I've been up all week. Sad, I know...
