a day in the life

So there were some funny random things today, so I thought I'd share...

6:15 AM - made bomb americano..mmmmmm

6:30 AM - the traffic continues on with construction Valencia...boooooo

8:45 AM - performed this demonstration for my chemistry class as we discuss chemical reactions


except I used a milk jug instead of a bottle, and it was horizontal allowing it to shoot across the room (on purpose), burning off the arm hair and skin on my right hand and arm (not on purpose)...let's just say the reaction was much smaller when I practiced it...

[ok not gonna lie, that was main highlight of the day]

10:15 - apologized to several of my classes for my generally gloomy disposition these days...that I had taken on too much, and though I swore I'd never be like my parents, I had become them in ways and now have to fight to do "enough"

1:30 PM - FINALLY got my 6th hour to be quiet and raise their hands by meticulously writing down on my clipboard every time someone spoke without raising their hand and being called on.  VINDICATION is the word that came to mind...but they also behaved so well together after that (which was an added bonus!)

2:30 PM - talked with a student about whether he should disobey his mother and get his citizenship through his father who is an American citizen. Did you know you have to pay 600 DOLLARS just to get your citizenship if one of your parents is American but you were born abroad?!?!?!?!?  That seems RIDICULOUS!!!! 

4 PM - Cereal and Star Trek - oh ya :)
