* After being plugged, jammed and permanently locked for the last six years, the door to the choir room suddenly and mysteriously works fine. Same with the lights in the off-shoot locker hallway just outside the music rooms. Both of these things happened without work orders. It helps to have friendly relations with the custodial staff.
* I found that a black widow spider had taken up residence in the rear doorway to my classroom. I stopped to admire it's sleek design, and the boldness with which it built its web and flashed its vermilion warning up at me, defiant of any retribution. This was just seconds before I drowned it in a cone of "RAID"
* Recently, one of my colleagues donated a set of very nice home stereo speakers to my classroom. I set them up in the choir room... I've been meaning for some time to set up a decent sound system in there. Today I bought a stereo receiver, hooked it up to the speakers, plugged my iPod in and let it rip. It was awesome. I juts hope that the wall between us and the history class next door is thick enough to absorb the bass.
* I no longer go to Starbucks in the morning before I go to work. I started to lose a little weight over the summer, and I figured I might as well help it along. No more cheesy or sugary snacks at break. The bowl in my cabinet that used to be filled with candy is now overflowing with health bars. It's a start.
