I would say a solid 1/2 of my shirts are the kind I can go bra-less in. I'd go topless if that were an option.
Will everyday be like this?
*thanks for explaining the beta switch etc. for your comments. I'd nearly given up!
And its only just begun! I always hated those "What do you expect to get from this class" question. Now that I'm older, wiser and know what adults want to hear I can answer it, but as a clueless 16 year old who barely finished high school - I would have written iono too.
Remind me to blog about how I was expelled from high school and yet turned into a productive citizen...There's hope in some of those students!
Melissa: We're kindred spirits then.
Grant Miller: No. Some days I won't even bother with a bra in the first place.
Maritza: Looking forward to hearing about that. And there wasn't anything I wanted to hear, except what the kids actually think. If they don't know, that's what I want to hear.
We were multi-tasking, so it wasn't wasted time. Besides, you're a teacher, I'm a teacher, it was really professional development.
