this dude’s out here waiting for the light to change so he can cross. he’s on the phone:

Dude! I swear to GOD~! She NEVER. SHUT. UP. I was just, like, “Can I get you another beer?” Longest night ever, I’m not kidding…I KNOW!! But she never shut up long enough to finish a drink, legit. No one caarrrrres; No. One. Cares. Longest night, seriously…Dude, I know I know…

i always wonder what my students are really thinking, what’s in their hearts. or, if not in their hearts, the kinds of things they think when they’re not busy trying to perform for me. i always want them to be their authentic selves in my classroom, in their writing for my class. i want the class to connect to their real lives, to be relevant to them. for them to be able to transfer the skills they build in my class to other areas of their lives.

dude, i know i know…
