Just finished my first week of student teaching down in Kansas City! Since I'm no longer in close range of any of those of you who read this, I've decided to post more frequently, say, once a week? Deal.
This week was largely uneventful, as I just sat around and observed from a comfy chair behind my desk. I already get my own desk, although one of the drawers smell like a cat puked in it, so that's not awesome. One of the teachers I'm observing is a crusty, ex-Marine Vietnam vet who hates socialism and furry little animals, but I like him anyway. The other teacher, in Biology, is more normal and thereby more boring, but we'll get along fine, I'm sure. I'm sure that by the end of this year, however, I will have completely had it with pantyhose/tights, because I've had to wear them every day. Lame dress code... Although by the number of sophomore guys checking me out in the hallway, I think I must look good. :)
I love Kansas City. L-O-V-E it. All y'all should come down and visit me sometime after I get the whole driving system figured out. But don't come this weekend, because there's a quarter inch of ice covering everything. Arizona driver + icy roads = bad things. So I'm limiting myself to walking trips only until it's safer. Or until I run out of beer. Whichever comes first.
ALSO, I want you all to swear the following oath, hand over heart and everything:
I, (your full name), will not let Bethany develop a Southernish accent. I swear to do everything in my power to prevent her from saying "Missourah" and "ain't" and other such Southernisms. However, if she starts talking like St. Louis rappers (I like it when you do that right thurr...), I will buy her ice cream. So help me God.
Thanks guys. I love you all and miss most of you!

I love that line. Me and Katie Bridges (friend from high school) would always say "Outside is America. Outside is AMERICA!!!" And for some reason found it outrageously amusing.
It is still okay if you say "missouruh" but in a southern rapper kind of way?
You miss me, right? I was forced to bestow camaraderie on Brad tonight at our last tour concert....I miss you.
Hi Pookster! I promise I wont let you develop a southern accent though it could work to your advanatage... and if "ain't" becomes a habitual habit i will let you have it-- right in the kisser :-D Loves you!!!
Bethany I hope you have fun in kansas city. I've been in crazy TN for some time and havent develop any sort of southern accent so I don't think you will. However if you tend to dialogue with people with accents your voice will adapt to that accent at that time, for I have caught myself saying "Ya'll" or just twanginess. miss ya

What would you think if I made a cardboard cutout of you to stick around my apartment because I wished you were here?
