This week: - 1st marking period grades were due. Here's hoping I did everything right...
- We had parent/teacher conferences on Wednesday from 1:30-4:30 and 7:00-9:30. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, but still a helluva long day.
- A student told me I had "too much makeup on" the day of conferences. I had a little eyeliner, mascara, and light blue/white eyeshadow. Lesson for the day - when you never wear any makeup, you look like a whore when you put just a little on.
- I discovered that I have a sidekick...well, 2 sidekicks. Long story short - the principal thinks that one of my friends is my sidekick, and a teacher argued that another friend was a sidekick. So I've officially declared them both sidekicks. Now all is right with the world.
- Discovered a MASSIVE crack across my right contact lens...had to drive to my parents' house to get an old pair. The eye doctor won't order me any more because I haven't been there for 5 years. Whoops. Memo to self - make appointment with the eye doctor.
- Signed the paperwork from my supervisor's observation. 2 down (both satisfactory - the highest rating you can get), 1 to go.
- Wrote love on my arms for National "To Write Love On Her Arms Day" on Friday. Two students and a sidekick also wrote on my arms.
- Spent today cleaning my apartment thoroughly.
Also - spent the day in NYC with my brother a couple weeks ago...saw his apartment, visited the comedy club where he works, went out to dinner...and saw "WICKED"!!! Which was totally amazing. Really, I thought it was exceptionally good. And my brother, who hates musicals, seemed to enjoy it as well. Amongst other things, I purchased a flying monkey...I probably wouldn't have even noticed it, but my brother had to point it out to me...and once I became aware of its existence, I knew I had to have one.

I was quite the celebrity at school yesterday, as one of the few people who dressed up. We have a student body of over 1,000 kids, yet only maybe 20-30 actually wore costumes. They seemingly loved mine, though...students beamed with pride as I walked down the hallway, and proudly proclaimed, "That's Miss Quinn. She's my biology teacher." And so, I got one more year out of my super-awesome vampire costume. Sweet. In other news - I have a migraine and am incredibly depressed. I'm in no mood for the Halloween party I've promised to attend tonight. *sigh* ***This message brought to you by PMS.

...you're in the middle of class, telling a silly story, when one of your students spontaneously yells out, "Oh my God, Miss Quinn, I have the perfect guy for you!!!!" The girl is clearly excited, ready and willing to share her moment of serendipity with the class...so I respond with, "Uh huh...sure...and that would be...?" because I think she's going to name some random guy who works at a gas station or her older brother or something. But no.
She names the new art teacher. You know...the one I'm madly in love with? The one I declared my love for 2 weeks ago? Yeah. Him.
Wow. (And let me tell you...I turned a lovely shade of crimson while explaining that we're friends...and nothing more.)
It makes one pause and wonder, "If my students can see it...why can't he...?"
LOL
*sigh*
On that note, I bid you all a good night. Tags: boys suck, crushes, work/teaching

Take a good look at the userpic I chose for this entry, my friends... Today, in the midst of "Happy Hour" with my 3 favorite co-workers, I told my crush that I liked him. And you know what? I wasn't so far gone that I was a silly, drunken mess. I made a conscious decision - now or never. So, when he had to leave early to go meet a group of friends, I walked him out...we talked for a bit outside, then I went to his car...and said, "Listen, I need to say this, and I know I'm going to feel like an idiot on Monday...but I'm madly in love with you." I went on to explain that I'm not REALLY madly in love with him (he knows me well enough to know that I exaggerate), but I wanted to put it out there... He was kinda like, "Yeah...no kidding..." and then I gave him an easy out - told him to go join his friends, and went back to the bar. So...don't know what's going to happen. He's actually a pretty cool guy, and I don't think this will affect our friendship in the likely event that he's not interested. But I'm glad I said it...I'm actually proud that I said it. I don't like playing games and stuff...I like to lay it all out on the table. Whatevs.
After he left, my friend Billy (aka - my Jacob) showed up (I had been texting him about what I should do) for moral support. He was actually gonna pull my would-be BF aside himself and say...I don't know...tell him something. But he left before Billy got there. I gotta give Billy props for the awesome devotion he exhibited. In fact, I was a bit miffed the other night for having to " take care" of one of my friends, and although I didn't say anything, I realized that I'm kinda sick of the whole "being the responsible one who has to take care of everyone all the time." Billy showing up reminded me that there are a few people out there who are ready and willing to take care of me, even when I refuse to ask for it.
I'm also really glad he got to meet my other co-workers...
And now...I'm out. It was a very long week... Tags: crushes, drinking, my jacob, real life, work/teaching
