School Lunch

As many of you know, I teach for an online high school, and I love it. However, with a wedding coming up this summer, I have picked up a few shifts of subbing per week for extra income. Today, I had to brave the school cafeteria for lunch.

Big mistake.

The line was long, so I went back to the classroom and waited it out for a few minutes. By the time I got back, all they had left were curly fries and pizza rolls. Not being a huge fry fan, I reluctantly reached for the pizza rolls, and they are currently sitting on my desk.

Another big mistake.

I am not exactly sure how these relate to pizza. Pizza must be a challenge for a school lunch room, as these seem to consist of a cheese stick wrapped in mystery dough, with a side of marinara sauce. I can’t eat them. I am going to be hungry this afternoon.

I feel bad for the kids who have to eat this crap every day. Seriously.

The Beach

Justin and I are at the coast this weekend, and we are having a great time. We went for a walk on the beach tonight, and we found a little abandoned fire with a few embers still glowing. Justin carefully tended it for over 20 minutes, and gradually, lovingly brought it back to life.

Once it was a nice crackling fire again, we just huddled up and talked for over an hour. We had the flickering firelight and the peaceful sound of the waves in the surf. It was one of those memorable moments.

Hello

April Fool! Haha, you thought I had a new journal, but I didn’t. Gotcha!
