today is monday 21 august 2006.

got gas in my car today. so exciting this takes a line in my blog. i get irritated when my corolla takes more than $20 . . . but then i remember that whoever was at the pump before me pulled out $80(!) of gas, so i don't feel so bad.

the dodgers will probably lose tonight . . . it gets irritating when students tell me that the dodgers got beat by colorado--but when my sister (who lives in san diego) calls to rub in out the padres beat the dodgers--that's more than annoying.

i read through the teacher's manual tonight. it was half-way fun reading. especially the emergency procedures--procedures for fire, bomb-threats, etc.

but one they forgot . . . snakes in the classrom!
