It's a beautiful spring day today.
It's a beautiful spring day today. I know it's not really spring yet, but I can dream. The sun is out. The sky is a wonderful shade of pure blue (OK, it's a bit brown with all the pollution, but I'm trying to make the best of a beautiful day). It even smells like spring. That earthy smell that means green will start appearing soon. Everyone seems happier today too. It's been a few weeks since we saw the sun, so it's appreciated even more then normal.
Lemme tell you too...students do not want to be in class when it's nice outside. I'm sure all you teachers know this already. I had a hard time capturing my kids attention. Of course I wanted to be outside too, which didn't help anything. This makes me fear the real spring when it will be nice every day.
Interesting thing I've discovered recently. My hair is curly.. Long ago, in the days of my youth, I had curly hair, but it's been so short for so long that I didn't know if it still was. I thought it would be fun to not cut my hair for a while, so I haven't cut it since August now. Without any gel, mousse, combing, or other grooming assistance I get a natural 'fro. It's really quite spectacular. This amuses my students a lot. They were all a bit sad when I cut off the gigantic goatee, so this helps them cope. Plus it's fun for me. I don't think I've ever had hair this long. It's almost long enough to braid. Sometime soon I'll have some new pictures out here for you too look at and you can find my hair in some of them.
