Christmas Break

Christmas break has started, thank you Jesus. What is there to not write about? Well, the Advent Mass, which started with me doing five minutes of stand up; the Christmas Assembly, which the mc kept reminding us was disappointing; the FSC party, the k10team lunch at Johnny Rockets... After that I went downtown to buy a sweater, and once my purchase was complete, I decided to walk through the bon to my car, which was in the garage.

I was just about to leave the men's department when I heard "�profesor!" It was a tall, good looking, solid, well dressed kid I had never seen before, who beared a slight resemblance to a nice, dopey kid I had taught as a freshman who always wore basketball shorts, an oversized tshirt, and a baseball cap, and didn't say too much. Now? He's about to graduate from college, applied to 20 law schools (how many are you going to attend?). I talked to him more there in the men's department than I had ever talked to him as a student.

I have to say, I was very glad to see him, although it did remind me very accutely of when I was young, attractive, full of promise for the future; before I became.... high school teacher for life. How bleak!

For lunch today I treated myself to the enchiladas chipotle at Taquer�a el rinconsito. The beans made me sleepy, so I took a nap before writing this post, and I'm still a little groggy.

I want to go to Boracchini's to get more spaghetti sauce. I tried to make my spaghetti can-o-tuna with cheaper sauce and it was gross.

Tonight we're wrecking Leilani Lanes karaoke.
