Some of you may know that though I am the teacher’s aide, I am given the task of teaching Literature to our students. Before you get impressed (or like, barely impressed), know that it’s so haywire and backwards that it barely resembles a normal English class.

Currently, we are reading through Fahrenheit 451. The kids love it, which makes me love it.

But, as normal, moments of great learning correspond with equally as “great” moments of academic meltdown.

I handed out a vocabulary sheet today and we were reading the definitions out loud together. It was turning into a good discussion on the power of words… when it came to Gerald’s turn to read:

Me: “Alright Gerry, what does number five say?”
Gerald: “It says… ‘Carmello – A man who reads the Bible.’ Hahahahahaha!”

The rest of the class started laughing. I just rolled my eyes and thought, “Why.”

Hello internet, I do believe we’ve MET before…

The public outcry was TOO much for me to take anymore. You all love me! You need me! The show must go on! “Love me love me say that you love me…”

Actually there was no public outcry. Just one person wondering why I haven’t posted in awhile hahaha.

See what I just did? I lied, then confessed the truth. That’s part of my New Year’s resolution. If I’m going to lie, then follow through with it.

Anyway, I find I’m the most pleased with my writing when I’m telling stories, whether they’re real or not haha. And I miss telling YOU ALL the stories from my life – the good, the bad, and (most importantly), the bizarre. So as 2010 begins, I’m committing myself to a resolution I can actually follow through with – storytelling.

Love me love me say that you love me.
