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
