i love-love being a teacher

part one
today, to finish out teacher appreciation week,we recieved

a) a logo embroidered messenger bag

b) a 15 minute chair massage

and the piece de resistance(not said with a french accent)


c) an invitation to an "unofficial" staff booze cruise

now, don't get me wrong. as much as i love being a teacher.
a massage? a booze cruise? totally necessary!
which got me to thinking.
back in the days of
hardwick elementary,
mackenzie jr high,
and
coronado high school,
i loved school.
8 solid hours of social networking!
problem is, my teachers wanted to interrupt all that socializing with learning.
despite graduating in the top 10%, i fell under that "she is so bright and has so much potential, if we could only get her to focus more on school than her friends." category.
without further ado, this is a shoutout to all those teachers that after a day with me, i know yearned for that chair massage, that skinny margarita, and yes, that booze cruise.
cue "boyzIImen" and the photo montage. . . .
