silly kids

so last week we went to the computer lab because I had to give a student survey evaluating my performance as a teacher. They had to anonymously rate whether they agreed, disagreed, or were neutral to several statements: my teacher gives clear instruction, respects all students, explains assignments, etc etc....

then there was a space for comments. Surprisingly, the only negative comments were that there are too many quizzes, surprise, surprise. I agree, there are too many quizzes. But it's countywide, not my choice. Also, many of my students either think I'm married or are unaware of the differences between Mrs. Ms. and Miss.

Anyway, here are some of my favorites (Original spelling and grammar have been maintained for authenticity)

i dont like spanish but i like mrs o. =]

Mrs. O is amazing. And Blues Traveler is good.

the class is fun mosty of the time (not when test are out ^-^)

I think that we should have more time to study for quizzes and tests. It would be a more efficient way to learn. I barely get a day between quizzes. To understand the material think that we should be given more time. I also think that we should spend more time on learning the information so that we would learn more and have a higher class average!!!

Mrs.O is a great teacher and I can easily get help outside of class. Also, she helps with an issues I have and answers any questions I have about something.

whoooooooooo mrs o is tha shizzznit

Awesome teacher! Just.. class is a little hard because most of the class has no foundation (i.e. Spanish 2 and 1)

This Class is GRRRRREAT!!

I love Ms. O...mucho...

good teacher!!!!!!

SHEs a GREAT TEACHER=)

And my most favorite comment:

miss o is my dude love markus

So after months of squiggly white lines across the screen and the fear that my TV would explode at any moment, I decided to buy myself a new one. The one I had was a 19", about 10 years old. The new one is a 27" RCA with HD potential (my satellite receiver doesn't have it, gotta scope that out with directv). It's massive and beautiful. Scottie and Jason helped me get it all setup and for that, I am very thankful. It would have been impossible for me to get it out of the car and into my house without them. Oh and a big thanks goes out to the cashier too, who accidentally scanned the 20% off barcode instead of 10%. YOU ROCK!


I also got a wicker trunk thing to keep by the door to contain my shoes. I always have a big pile of random shoes in the living room because I take them off as soon as I get in the door usually. This way, they're still here where I take them on and off but the room looks a tiny bit less sloppy.


And now with photos (as Libby requested), I also sewed new buttons onto my red corduroy jacket this weekend. It really gave it the face lift it had been asking for. (it talks)
