1 WE HAVE MIRACULOUSLY REACHED WED-NEZ-DAY!!!2 :p
3 Longest week evuh!
4 Ah, whatevuh!
5 Well, let's get down to biznisss.
6 I FINALLY sent my grades to that great river that decides peoples' fates. Like most teachers, I want ALL my students not only to succeed, but to realize how many dreams they could potentially realize.
7 Is that corny?
8 I don't think so.
9 I always go beyond high school, which really simply exists as a memory machine.
10 All apologies, but when push comes to shove, EVERYBODY remembers high school. So our job as teachers is not only to introduce intelligence, standards, and all of that, but for students to realize that life is a learning process.
11 That includes not only academics, but self-definition.
12 There are not only standards and college, and careers to address, but there are also the non-standards: the love of family, the love of friends, the pursuit of dreams...
13 It should always be limitless.
14 I've lost too many people in the past few years to think anything otherwise.
15 At the risk of being overly repetitive, I turn to the immortal John Lennon, who passed this message on to his son Sean, but really, to the world: "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." Again, corny? I don't think so.
16 Live life.
17 Love life.
18 It is ever so short.
19 Wednesdays are ever so short as well, given the right attitude.
20 We have rain, and then we have sun.
21 I look forward to both.
22 See you soon.
23 Peace.
