Downloading a giant screaming, sheep bleating and the crash of thunder. Who do you know who does this on the job? Some days, I love my job! I've been burning cds for the sound cues, buying fabric for costumes while juggling the testing schedule for the seniors who haven't passed the ELA Regents. It's this sort of odd head game that appeals to me about my job. On the other hand, I've done NOTHING outside of work today. I met up with a friend I suppose, but that too was to help with an interview project that he's working on related to the small school culture. So, it's a bit all encompassing at the moment. But I hope it will be worth it. The kids sure seem excited. They can't wait to get back to the auditorium.

Meanwhile, some of my students will have their orignial plays read by professional actors in mid-town tomorrow night.

On May 8, some of my students will be reading at BAM CAFE. It's an ARTS month and that makes me happy as one of the people fighting the good fight in a science and math school. Ok, fine, a science and math school with a marine twist. Not an arts school anyway.

Oh yeah, and 15 of my kids will sit for the AP English exam next Thursday. I am not expecting miracles, but it is a first step.
