  1   I'm not at school today. In fact, I'm not so sure WHERE I am today. I was so busy with FANTASTICS practice last night that I got home after midnight!!! Who knew?

  
  

  2   One reason I was at the school so late was that I lost the paper telling me where I was to report today. So around 10 p.m. it occurred to me that I was supposed to be out for two days, attending a seminar, I just forgot where the heck the seminar was to be.

  
  

  3  I'm hoping this is an honest mistake, and yet a part of me would LOVE not to know where to go today. I know that's wrong, but hey, those things happen. Not much you can do.

  
  

  4  Speaking of which, yesterday was WEIRD, man, looking into the eyes of all the teachers, and seeing the common bond we teachers all have. You know, no matter what people say about educators, most of us, good or bad, just want to see young people go in the right direction, and we just want to help them get there. At times, we slip into our own personalities, and those personalities take over, but any time someone throws something crooked at us, we tend to bond, because really, all of us have pretty much the same goals: to help young people get through youth, and to assist in their learning and growing.

  
  

  5  So yesterday was like walking out on a battlefield the morning after a major skirmish. We slowly came out and talked with one another. Theories abounded, but the bottom line remained: a WHOLE bunch of awesome teachers got pinked. I guess that would be the expression, no?

  
  

  6  "DOOOOOD! He got PINKED!

  
  

  7   Hopefully everything will be all right...

  
  

  8  Difficult to laugh right now. Tired beyond words.

  
  

  9  Well, I imagine it's just one foot in front of the other and on to victory.

  
  

  10  Have a beautiful day.
