About Me
I rock. Hard.
Bio
I teach High School Basic English for all four grade levels. For three of my six periods, I have a Special Education co-teacher with me who is the best. My kids are amazing, hard workers, and definitely...interesting to say the least. They certainly keep my on my toes and I love them to death!! I am also the freshmen class sponser so I get to help all of the freshmen raise money their first year so they can have a rockin' prom and pay for the things that the classes have to pay for. A member of the book club at school as well is another one of my activities at school and I am generally that person finishing the last page walking down the hall to the library right before discussion.
Interests
I like to play pool, darts, and read(naturally, duh!). I old-it-up by crocheting and love it. I am creepily obsessed with New Kids on the Block and totally dorked it out at the concert in Chicago back in October. I think I am a genuine rock star when it comes to guitar hero. I have come to the conclusion that my kitty, Checkers, is chemically dependant on cat nip and will some day actually CATCH his tail since it torments him ever so. I also think tatertots are quite possibly THE perfect food...
