Today's word: truthiness

Today's weird holidays: I Want You to Be Happy Day, National Anthem Day, Peace Corps Day, and What if Dogs and Cats Had Opposable Thumbs Day?

Gifted English II: Othello, Act III--handkerchief, handkerchief, handkerchief.

APees: Jane Eyre, close reading of the text; 3rd period needs to read "The Chimney Sweep" by Blake; "A Poison Tree" if time permits. Eyre in the Air may well be tomorrow, if the weather holds. Most likely, it will be Friday. And Senior Brag Sheets!!! Prepare to brag about your innate awesomeness.

Sick

In the event that you haven't noticed, I've been out sick for what will now be three days. I have not felt this rotten since the Swine Episode last spring, but it isn't pork-related this time. It's just flu. Blicky, icky, wicky flu.

Consequently: Hamlet test has been postponed until next week. Poetry reading is still tomorrow after school co-hosted by Covert and myself. Hamlet wrap-up and transition will begin tomorrow in class. Please be nice to the sub, even if she does read you beauty tips from fashion magazines. (Or so a student told me in a rambunctious text message.)

I will be at school Thursday morning for first period only due to lack of sub, giving the open-book Candide assessment to the sophys. Sophomores: You can return Candide to the Media Center on Friday; don't forget that we have Benchmark testing Monday and Tuesday. Exciting times at BHS!

I hope no one overdosed on pancakes during the Honors Breakfast. Love to all.
