this one is going to be quick, because i'm tired and its only tuesday. and tomorrow i have to go to a district key club meeting at 5pm. 5pm!! that's smack dab in the middle of my evening. and tonight i had to go to new teacher training (read: new teacher torture) for three hours, which meant i didn't get home until 8pm, which is really late when one goes to bed at 9pm. as you can see, it's currently 9:16 pm and i'm still up. i'm a wild one.
so here's the reason for the "oh hell no." in the past three school days (friday, monday, tuesday) i have seen three separate occurances of SLOUCH SOCKS! serously!? slouch socks? friday, it was a male student who was wearing red slouch socks with red basketball shorts and hi-top sneakers. what? monday it was a female student wearing a jean skirt with not one, but two pairs of slouch socks, one pink and one yellow--and they were in the opposite order on each leg, a la 1990. today, it was another female student with her jeans tucked into her white slouch socks. OH HELL NO are slouch socks back in style. i understand that retro is in and all, but the early 90's?? just because it's old doesn't mean it's okay to rerun.
friday i was walking around my classroom while my students worked in groups and i was looking at their belongings (snooping) and noticed that one girls binder was like this: a picture of she and her friends with something about "BFF" and the following phrase: "Best friends forever. Roll together, live together, shop together, die together." DIE TOGETHER?? they're a bunch of spoiled white girls, not tupac!!!!
i saw a girl in the hallway today wearing a cute little outfit that consisted of jeans, a little pink shirt and these adorable pink pointy-toed pumps. here's the funny part--she obviously couldn't walk in the shoes. i wanted to pull her aside and say, "listen, the key is practice. and if your feet hurt, don't let it show. just keep walking like those are the most comfortable shoes you've ever had on your feet." if i learned nothing else from chelsea hampton, it was that i wear my shoes. they don't wear me.
i really want a milkshake. good things it's bed time soon.

Yum, a milkshake really sounds good even at 8:20a.m. Moolaties are on sale for $1.99. Good thing I can't leave my room.
