#i am a GONERRRR

I've seen Twisters eight times now. It took me eight times to fully realize that Tyler can howl, and he howls good. Yknow, the scene after he's just blown fireworks up a tornado? And he gets out with Boone and Ben and celebrates? Yeah, that scene. And you can hear it loud and crystal clear. Please tell me I'm not the only one that realized that. And please tell me I'm not the only one who goes crazy for that BECAUSE GOD DAMN... At this point what CAN'T Tyler do?? Thanks for coming to my ted talk 💀

My nephew is starting 7th grade next week and now that it’s officially back to school time, i thought it would be fun to do a random question Wednesday: grade school addition.

Growing up when did the school year start for you?

Did you do anything special the last week of summer vacation?

Did you do the whole school supply and new school clothes shopping?

Did you get name brand school supplies or knock off versions?

What was your favorite subject in school?

What was your favorite year in school?

ohhhhhh these are ridiculously on point, friend! thank you muchly for the fun and wishing your nephew a wonderful year! the contrast between school as a student and school as an educator is hilarious, i have to say!

all through my academic years prior to college, the first day of school was the tuesday after labor day. my first year of teaching, or maybe even the year prior, we shifted to an august start. the first day of school this year was august 22nd.

besides lament my upcoming confinement, you mean? usually i was finishing whichever show i’d borrowed the boxset of from hollywood video, disc by disc. oh, and definitely scrambling through AP assignments i’d forgotten about!

YUPPPP. so many binders and dividers and composition books, aiming at organization. my backpack was never anything but a disaster area. old navy, pacsun, american eagle, and hot topic were my happy places! let’s be real: a decent portion of my current workwear is from old navy. NO REGRETS.

brand name ... the knock-offs never held up!

i was and am a total language nerd! i started with spanish I in eighth grade and took AP spanish and french I simultaneously my senior year. i also took a pop culture elective as a junior.

honestly? fourth grade. that was the year i moved from the west to east coast and discovered my beloved winter! plus, the elevator broke the day of our end-of-year party and mr. h, about whom tiny e was a gonerrrr, carried me down three flights of stairs.
