Probability

The probability of getting called on in class is inversely related to the degree of preparation spent on said class.

For example, I did not want to do anything law related at all today. It just wasn't happening. I went to class, and then slacked off and did pretty much nothing the rest of the day. Therefore, because I am at 0 degrees preparation, my probability of getting called on tomorrow is 100%.

If the law school thing doesn't work out I'm totally going to write a book on this theorem.

End of First Week Report

First week is over, hurray! I'll write more once I get some sleep. Bottom line: I'm having fun.

First Day of Law School

First day impressions?

Just one: my head hurts like it did when I was working on my thesis and had to look up every other word my advisor said. I made it through that and I felt smarter once I was finished. I think this will be a similar experience. Must remember to eat more protein to make up for all the new dendrites in my brain.

Turn at the Porta-Potty on a stick

There is a teal Porta-Potty stuck two stories up in the air on a giant pole on the side of a road here in Waco! I really thought that I had seen it all when it comes to weird things in new towns.
Cleburne has a guy that rides a longhorn steer into town and parks it in a parking spot in front of the diner. San Isidro had the Watermelon Festival parade that only had three spectators because the entire population of the area was in the parade. (That parade was a blast! I was on three floats, so I would ride to on area, get off, and walk back to the next float.)

Roma has a giant orange car on a stick, but that's a sign for an auto shop. So, I guess there's a Porta-Potty shop in Waco?

Finish Line Crossed

Summer school is over and I am officially finished teaching. Hurray! I think it helped that I ended my career with summer school kids. I was really close to my kids from the regular year and was sad to leave them. But summer school kids are...different.

Now I have a whole month to relax before the work begins! I think I'll start by going back to sleep.

Guppies, guppies, and more guppies

There are only four more days in this school year! Hurray! In those four days, I must find homes for over fifty guppies. We started the year with four guppies, one male and three females, in our classroom aquarium. Despite occasionally forgetting to feed them, accidentally turning the tank off over Christmas vacation, and making no effort to save babies, we ended up with a huge number of guppies. Any kid that passed my class this year or last (about 170 kids) is eligible to claim a guppy. I really hope they do! Anyone in the market for some promiscuous fish?

Got Him!

I caught a bully! Hooah! I love catching bullies! Every year I have had one of these sneaky bullies that are really hard to catch. It makes it all the more fun when I finally get them.
