Never thought this day would happen...

But, teaching today has been literally boring. Students are all working, they seem relatively motivated, and they're dissecting "Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allen Poe, which is one of my favorite stories of all time. And, yet, for some reason, they're all working almost independently, and there's no behavior issues. I have nothing to do. It's like I'm not even needed here. I could walk out and go get coffee and come back, and everyone would have finished their work then fallen asleep. That's just how boring it is in here.

I put on the Rolling Stones to liven things up. It makes me feel more excited, but everyone else is boring.

Later in the lesson it gets more exciting... we'll be stealing poe's language and creating our own "gothic" creative writing pieces. I'll post my "gothic" beginning soon.
