Nyquil vs The Aspiring Teacher

Last week was rough. I was continuing on in my field study of the average middle schooler experience, I learned quickly that appearing weak to your students does not do you any favors as a teacher. I had a pretty legitimate cold for most of the week and even missed a day (terrible, I know). With the pressure of missing school and work and all of my other responsibilities looming over me, I chose to push myself through the rest of the week. These are not happy memories for me. Nyquil is not your friend if you want to be awake and alert the next day. And when it claims an adult dose is two tablespoons, it’s lying to you.
P.S. Who made up the word homophone and can we pick a substitute for it for Jr. High students? As if they need any help thinking of sexual innuendos.

  1. If it makes you feel any better, I saw no signs of weariness or delusion at dinner on Sat. BTW, thank you for saying you would pick up our mortgage this month. Very nice of you.

    Also, I think the homophone was invented by Bruce from San Francisco.

  2. Sorry you've been sick. What a bummer! It's amazing to me how hard it always is for me to work and think clearly when I'm sick.
