I'm remembering why I liked Homecoming...

candylandIt's Homecoming Week, and we've been doing a different spirit day each day. Monday was Hawaiian Day (I wore a couple of cheap plastic leis around--and I gave them ten seconds at the beginning of class to get the "lei-ed" jokes out of their systems), then yesterday was Twin Day and today was Movie Star Day. And I was saddened when I heard a girl say that she was Ginger Rogers and several people asked who Ginger Rogers was ;o;
Anyway, tomorrow is Nerd Day!So I'm going as myself, yay! Actually, I'm wearing capri pants with calf-high socks (that may or may not match) and sneakers...and then a white button-up shirt with one tail untucked. I found my old Marvin the Martian tie, so I figured I'll toss that on for good measure, and then a couple of pens in the shirt-pocket. And I'm going to wear my glasses instead of my contacts and put my hair in either pigtails or braids--haven't decided yet.
I promised a couple of my students that I would go all out for Nerd Day ^_~ Can you tell?
Tomorrow is going to be a really relaxed day. Two early outs in a row (today's was for staff development, and tomorrow is for a Homecoming festivity), so today we ran class periods 1-5 and tomorrow we run 6-8 and 5 (fifth hour is the lunch period). The English class I co-teach is first period and my choir class is second period. So tomorrow I am going to teach lessons and hang out...and then go do middle school study hall. Pretty darn sweet~!!
And I just got a phone call from my mother, asking if I'd like to meet her and Dad in Des Moines on Saturday for shopping and hanging out and fun stuff. I moved out almost two months ago, and it feels like eons since I last saw my parents in person. But yes, Saturday I will go hang with Mom and Dad, and it will be awesome. And Mom did allude to the fact that she thought I could probably use some new clothes... 8D
Regarding the Nancy Drew marathon: today was game five, The Final Scene. Tomorrow is Secret of the Scarlet Hand, which is one of my favorites because it's all about the Mayans, and I'm a big nerd for ancient history like that ~♥ Friday is Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake (one of the best games in the series), and then Saturday I'll squeeze The Haunted Carousel in...probably in the evening after I get home. That's game eight, which means I'm halfway through the marathon! \o/
There'll be a new fic up tomorrow ^_^
