random =)ing
so for tep 109 (my teaching PE class) we have to go to an elementary school to observe a classroom teacher instructing PE. this past monday i went back to my old elementary school, Hickman Elemantary School here in Mira Mesa to talk to my 3rd grade teacher, Miss Fuhrman, about setting something up so i can observe. she was glad to see me...it had been 14 years since i was last a student in her class. so when i get there, her students were in an assembly so she and i sat and talked for about 15 minutes to catch up on life's randomness. we then went to pick up her class. thats when it started...her kids started asking me all sorts of questions. my original intention of staying for a few minutes to catch up w/ miss fuhrman and schedule an observation visit turned into an hourlong Q&A session.
so today Ian and i went back to do our observation. and as we were walking to the room...we heard a few voices saying "hi mr. green!" and "he's back! he's back! mr. green came back!" now...this was @ 8am in the morning, and for those of you who know me know that i am definitely not a morning person, and it takes a lot to get a smile out of me at that god-awful hour of the morning in which i refuse to be awake for anything. but those kids remembering me and being excited at seeing me put a big smile on my face (yes...at 8AM in the fricken morning!) stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =D

random gripe
so i was having a conversation tonight w/ a friend about the padres vs. giants game that she went to after i had read her online journal. since i'm a padres fan, i just happened to say "boo to the giants." thats when she got mad by saying that she doesnt wanna hear it, she heard enough of it at the game by the other fans, and that since the game was over i shouldnt talk about it anymore. i was basically expressing my opinion about the giants, like anybody would who does not like another team. she took this to be an attack on her and got pissed. ok, for one, this was not an attack on her...at no point did i say "you suck cuz you like the giants" or something like that...i was saying that i do not like a certain team, in a conversation in which 2 friend who like 2 different teams would have. ok...yes the game was over, but its not like i was talking about this game 6 months from now when there is no baseball...or just brought it out of the blue. she promptly signed off after she felt like i was attacking her. am i out of line for expressing my opinion about a baseball team during a convo about baseball? i think not...but i could be wrong. what do u think? stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =p
