Alas Bulletin Boards

Back to work today. As a student, it never really occured to me what teachers did to prepare for school to start. Laminating things...cutting those things out. Creating bulletin boards (and even more difficult, creating boards that are different from last years).

I don't remember my Junior High teachers having lots of stuff in their rooms. I remember some of my High School teachers did. My room dec. heroine is my Humanities/Adv. Comp./AP English teacher. Her room was pretty much totally covered with an amazing collection of stuff. Postcards from around the world, life size cut outs of Wayne Gretzky and Humphrey Bogart, Art Prints, drawings by students, articles that specifically meant something to her (and by extension us), a Hockey puck and stick, and more. She showed Simon & Garunkel's Concert in the Park.

So, I'm kinda tired even though most of what I did today was staple, cut, and organize things.

On another note...
I am getting damn sick and tired of Hillary Clinton supporters who are so effing shortsighted that they're willing to risk McCain getting into office. Seriously? I would have been disappointed had Barack not gotten the nomination (which he doesn't "technically" have) but I sure as shootin' would have worked to have the democrat elected. Honest to murgatroid...they (HC & BO) are virtually (not exactly) on the same page.

Ah. Well. From one addiction to the other. Next week I'll be following the Democratic National Convention. At least the Olympics and DNC(Denver) didn't happen at the same time...my head would have exploded.

Oh and... really happy about THIS.
