elucreh- Item: Friendiest is student-teaching sixth and seventh grade home ec; they are doing a unit on childcare and she asked me to be a guest lecturer. I did one this morning and am going back for the afternoon. I do not know how she does it. It's creepy the way they all, like, actually listen to you! And raise their hands politely and stuff! Most disconcerting thing EVER!!
They really liked the fingerpainting, though; and I adore how much fun it was to get them to admit they were into "The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything."
This afternoon, I will do better! I will not ramble so much and also, I will remember to tell them the number one thing I want them to know. *facepalm* - Item: Somebody ran over a squirrel in the middle of my street. Its body is squashed flat but its tail is still standing straight up like a little pine tree. It is the saddest thing ever.
- Item: I think Starbucks is cheating me out of my flavoring. Aside from that, though, I love how competent the baristas here are; they listen to me! And know what they are doing! It's AWESOME!!!
- Item: I hate the HOME inventory. That is all.
- Item: all you out there complaining that your stories are too long, I have a big old raspberry for you. But it's an affectionate one! I'm excited for your stories, it's just that my stories have size envy.

Date: 2009-03-20 02:24 am (UTC)My number one thing was "respect them," which I wrote on the board but did not talk about. At all. Because free-form lecturing is dangerous. I got it in for the second time around, though!

Date: 2009-03-20 02:22 am (UTC)I drink plain steamed milk with flavoring; I can't stand the taste of coffee. One of the reasons I adore my crew here is because they can understand that concept. Without having to go through the drive-thru three times. It's awesome.

(To be totally honest, I am so much more worried about our plot not working/making sense than anything else. You have such a good handle, it seems like, on both your plot and your characters, I can't wait to read yours properly when you're done. <3)
