Who's Whale Watching

It has been a very long time since I blogged. I have been under a lot of stress to blog and like any artist I determine my own schedule. Also life has gone from a kind of busy 5 to a super extreme very little free time 10. I just took a 5 minute break to clean my toenails. So the reason I blogged today is because I have been subbing again this week and I wanted to give some of my favorite quotes.
"Mr. Erwin are you married?"- Girl in 3rd hour
"No."- Me
(Everyone saying ooohhh!)
"He's not cute I was just asking!"- Girl
"Thanks." -Me

It was great. The awkward tension that exist at the beginning of every class was snapped and absolutely nothing else fazed me that day. In that same hour I overheard some boys talking about  how there is a party they were going to have. A boy said my mom won't let me go. The other said YOLO! There is a fine line between YOLO and straight up stupidity. As I was subbing these classes they kept asking me for help. I attempted to help them, attempted was the key word "I believe the line of symmetry is the line you draw on something to cut it in half." -Me. "How do you find that?" -Boy. "Don't ask me I'm a theatre major!" One kid said wow your useless.
Today I was a Spanish teacher and I had 3 Mexican girls in my first hour. They have parents from Mexico and they don't know some basic conjugations. "How do you say 'I hear you'?"- Me "I don't know that's why I'm in school to learn this." -Mexican Girl (It was Spanish 5)
In AP Spanish we were talking about several different things as I was trying to quiet everyone down this is what happened.
"Okay guys we need to be quiet so we can do our work." -Me
"No it's okay Senor Hugie usually teaches us in a loud, semi-hostile environment." -Boy in 4th Hour.

Needless to say I had a very enjoyable day. I am teaching Spanish again tomorrow.
I hope that it will be a Whale of a day!
