Today in High School, continued...

A girl sitting in front of my desk...(with the room DEAD silent)

"WOW, I like, I like, have mind powers..."

"I answered the who and the what in the first portion of the question, then it asked me about the what in the second portion. Wow, do you see how I beat the book, I knew what it was going to ask, I have mind powers"...

**No way does a High School textbook lead you into possible answers, nor does it try to provoke certain thoughts...**

Today in High School...

I was giving simple instructions at the start of the hour to read certain pages in the English textbook. From the back of the room a student yells.
"What, wait? Can you repeat that?"...

Everyone turns and looks at the student...who had her iPod in, music blaring...

**Do you wonder why you couldn't hear me?...**

Overheard

Although the school year is winding down, I'll try to give you a brief sample of my daily encounters and interactions...

1) A girl talking about how she has to write a paper, "I'm going to write mine over how I am not a religion, I don't believe in God".

2) A student, who just had a baby son born about 2 months ago, wont be allowed back in the house of his girlfriend for 2 weeks b/c, "That chick's mom got some crazy boyfriend and thinks I'm bad news. I'll wipe his a$$ out quick if he doesn't let me see my boy and my girl".

Sometimes, things just catch your attention...these would be the two that did today...

Oh, and right before I log off...

I'm subbing in a "Resource study hall", which is a self contained study hall for kids with special needs...

Check this interaction:
Student A: "I haven't had a very good day today"
Student B: "Why, what happened?"
Student A: "I just have to hang around a bunch of retarded kids"...

Now the conversation is on recycling...I think I'm done for the day...holy crap...

Golf

The weather allowed for my favorite spring/summer activity...golf...

I was able to play 18 holes on both Saturday and Sunday at 2 different courses (by the way, I walked both times and it was a good workout,something I'm going to try to do the majority of the time I play). First time out I flirted with 100, second time out I was well under, probably mid 90's. For the first two times out, I was pleased.

Now it's time to perfect the swing b/c Friday I head over to Salina to play in a Tournament Saturday morning.

Only problem is now, I have no excuse if I don't play well...

Job

As the process continues on, more information has come out. I have just found out today that they are doing more interviews next Monday (who knows when else, but for sure Monday).

I was hopeful that I would know something by today, but it sounds like I won't know anything for at least another week.

I suppose in times like these it's really important to have patience and faith.

Impatiently waiting...

I'm waiting, trying to patiently, regarding the Men's Basketball job I interviewed for last week. Hopefully I will know something this week.

Sooner the better!

Interview

Yesterday, April 16th, I was able to experience one of the cooler things that has ever happened.

I was able to interview for a Head Basketball job at a local high school. The process, the questions, the presentation, all contributed to a pretty sweet experience.

I am now in a wait and see mode, but am hopeful that I hear something soon.

They asked me a couple of really interesting questions, things to think about...

-If you had no restrictions in your life, what would you be doing?
-What are the two accomplishments you are most proud of?
- What would you say to a player who told you he wanted to be treated "fairly"

Just some things to think about, I know I thought they were all good questions, very thought provoking.

Thanks

Thanks for all of you who have inquired about my dad.

He made it home on Tuesday, 8th, and is resting at home. He is about 70%, but is quickly gaining each day. We're all super excited that things have progressed as they have.

Thanks for those of you who do read, I am going to try to make an effort to update it more.

Update

For those of you that still read, thanks...also, here is an update.

My father had brain surgery on Thursday, April 3rd, to repair an aneurysm that had developed. He is resting comfortably in the hospital and is hopeful to be released middle of the week.

Prognoses is 100% full recovery and we are just super excited that it was detected.

Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers, it's no wonder that he is doing so well.
