There's something you don't see every day

And here it is:

A man in bike shorts and a helmet, riding down the sidewalk on a unicycle. 

That was a first for me. 

In other news, it was a pretty great day all around. I had my very last day with these two jerky kids from one of my speech classes, so they are on their way to being someone else's problem in the spring semester. I also got all of our party food purchased and made some cookies for my newspaper kids. 

It's feeling pretty good to wrap up my semester so nice and neat. I have a department meeting in the morning and a separate time set to meet with Brook after school so we can figure out how to teach folks about Google Docs. There are four more tests for me to give, then I'm out for winter break. 

I am ready for these children's parents to enjoy them for a while. I've had them quite enough for 2015, thank you. 

I did have a rather unfortunate situation this morning. One of my children arrived 30 minutes late for his first period final, smelling like weed. I can't notice that and overlook it. I wrote an email to the office secretary asking for security personnel to remove the child and see if my nose was correct. Evidently, it was. And apparently, he threw his smoking buddies under the bus to save his own skin. That resulted in another kid being pulled from my second period final. I by the end of the day, I had heard that at least one of the boys had drugs on him and was arrested for real and sent to adult jail. I don't have a clue how many kids were pulled out of classrooms today from this mess, but my nose seems to have started a proper drug bust. It's a blessing and a curse. But thankfully, it's something I don't see every day.
