It's only been about three days, but I can already say that having a student teacher is kind of nice. I've never had one before and I wasn't sure how it'd work, but my students already love Valerie Ms. Frizzle. I've heard some horror stories about student teachers so I'm glad I got one that's 100% committed to what she's doing.

Alright guys. I ordered a ton of different sleds from Amazon yesterday during the blizzard. They should be here today around noon-ish.

If you want to go sledding I am going to [insert park here] at 1:30! I hope a bunch of you can join me because I have way more sleds than I need. We can probably donate them afterwards to a charity or random kids in the park that want to use them.

This is the best thing ever. I haven't seen snow in forever. I'm excited to see if this continues or not.

WHO WANTS TO GO SLEDDING IF WE GET ENOUGH SNOW?!

I've never been a person to make a big deal about Thanksgiving due to not being around my family for the holidays quite often once I left after high school. But, I do admit I love the food that is involved with this dinner. Typically our band would just stop off at some random restaurant that was open on our way to the next tour stop (if we were touring then) and hope they had turkey or something. I will admit that Chinese food on Thanksgiving is still one of my favorite things to do because of that. But I think I may make a quick trip back home to see my family and then perhaps go out again for Christmas.

But, I've been mostly focused on exams and trying to figure out the perfect Christmas gifts. I've also been addicted to BuzzFeed, as per usual, and today they posted this LIST of science gifts and I really want some of the stuff on there. I guess I should look on Etsy and maybe ThinkGeek - my family might appreciate some nerdy gifts for Christmas.

To stay on topic with current events, here are some facts about earthquakes.

Did you know there are also earthquakes on the moon, and they're called moonquakes?

Fell asleep earlier this afternoon and had another Dream while I napped. I am apparently a pinball wizard - I made my own about rainbows and Liz the lizard helped me. I also sent these kids off on the magic bus on a field trip by themselves while I stayed behind with this kid that disapproves of my field trips.

The kids ended up inside the pinball game and helped me try to make the rainbow complete. They were learning about light and color. Looked fairly dangerous, but also a lot of fun once they finally figured out how it could work. The pinball worked with white light going through a prism and then you had to get the color to bounce off mirrors/similar color items and go into the correct colored eye.

I really should start grading the papers of the actual kids I'm TAing. My Liz is having fun just staring at me while I do. I think she enjoys being here. She's kind of adorable. I also think my roomie, Carlos, is really enjoying her presence.

I am either the coolest teacher on the face of the planet (and possibly a witch/wizard/whatever) or these kids have the worst parents on the face of the planet. Who keeps letting them come to my class and going on these "field trips?" I wonder if they tell their parents what they did at school that day and what lies were told to get permission slips signed.

I finally had another dream and this time we went to a dinosaur dig. I apparently have made lots of connections as a teacher and one of the paleontologists shows us an egg she found. Well, of course my students had to go investigating and my magical bus took us back into time to the Cretaceous period and there were a lot of dinosaur interactions. Jurassic Park, eat your heart out.

How do I get away with this stuff?

Oh and I woke up and I have a new friend with me. There was a lizard named Liz (really creative) in my dreams and when I woke up there was a chameleon in a cage by my bed. Had a cute little bow and a card that said Liz on it. I'm a little freaked out.

The Fest of Ale yesterday was great. Even the run was pretty good fun, but my head's not thanking me so much this morning.

Ah well. Completely worth it, to tell you the truth. Hope everyone else that went had an equally good time, and that the hangovers aren't too terrible.

Did anyone else see Bill Nye the Science Guy on Dancing with the Stars tonight? That was almost painful to watch. Jack Osbourne was better than I thought.

And no, I didn't choose to watch the show. Annie was watching it, so I watched it with her.

My basement recording studio is almost finished, which is exciting, because I'll get to start laying down tracks. Doing this on my own has taken much longer than my other two records took.

Now for something completely different! To get our minds off of what's going on I know a few people should be interested in this.

Who wants to go to the Orange County Fest of Ales and join my team for the "Beer Run 5K" next weekend?

Dude. It's like Little Shop of Horrors in this place.

If the Venus fly trap starts singing and demanding I feed it, I'm getting a hotel room.


[A few minutes later]Edit: SO GETTING HOTEL ROOMS. SO GETTING HOTEL ROOMS. THE ROSE BUSH BROKE THROUGH THE KITCHEN SCREEN DOOR AND THE HYDRANGEAS ARE TRYING TO SURROUND US OUT FRONT.

Okay. Hello.

It's come to my attention that prices of rent in California vary greatly from those in Wisconsin. I've been looking around and reading for openings in the paper, but I thought I'd ask here also:

Is anyone looking for a roommate? I'm very quiet. And I work more often than not. If that helps?

Hi. I see it's standard practice to introduce yourself when you get invited to this network thing. I'm James Barnes, but everybody calls me Bucky. I'm more used to it than my real name.

I'm an accompanist for the South Coast Youth Symphony Orchestra - I went to school to play piano. Sometimes you'll see me out in North LA busking, if you're ever up there - I like to do it for extra cash. I love my job and classical music, and I also like to train for marathons. It's actually pretty liberating when you can run 26 miles all on your own.

Anyway. Hi. I guess I'll be around.

Hello, Insomnia. I'd say it's nice to see you again but that'd be a lie and we both know I'm a horrible liar.

Is anyone else around here wide awake tonight?

Okay, I have seen mentions of dreams around here and I'm wondering if the ones I had recently are the same ones everyone was talking about. They were the strangest/most realistic dreams ever.

So, they have to be set in the future or something because I look older and I'm a certified teacher. I have a small classroom of young kids and I wear the craziest outfits you have ever seen. Now, that's all normal and such, but then suddenly it takes a turn when I decide it's time for a field trip. The school bus we ride transforms and we go crazy places. The first dream was a trip into outer space, the second dream was us inside a STUDENT when the bus shrunk and he got swallowed for lunch, and the last dream was inside ANOTHER student while he is fighting a cold.

These kids seem to think it's pretty darn normal and I have to say I'm pretty badass if I'm able to do something like this. The kids manage to learn some really awesome things due to these field trips, but holy crap - completely insane.

I should not be so amused. This shouldn't be so amusing. But I've found myself giggling for the last five minutes.

Open Chrome (browser), go to youtube.com and start any video playing. Pause the video. Type in 1980 and hit enter. See what happens. #forgreatjustice.

I got stuck as a bat for about twenty minutes earlier today. I flew into the mirror in the foyer because I didn't have a reflection. Suffice to say, it hurt.

Since my birthday is next Monday, I want to do something this weekend. Does anyone know of any clubs that I could take over for the night? Say, Saturday? I want to actually remember my birthday this year. Most of last year is a haze.

Oh, dear.

Grace and I were watching television today, and we came across a mixed martial arts fight. It was two men, rolling around and punching each other in the head, mostly on the ground. They wound up with one on top of one another.

My eleven-year old daughter looked at me and said "Papa, isn't this kind of homoerotic?"

My eleven year old daughter knows the word homoerotic. I'm inexplicably impressed and worried at the same time.

I want to be this woman when I get older.
http://youtu.be/NRhoHN8x_00

That is the coolest thing I have seen in a while. I read that she's 60-something and not actually a grandmother. She was also in one of the first girl groups in her area, which is awesome! I am so impressed that she's kept those skills for a long time and I really hope that I get to be like that when I'm older. Now I just want to sit around playing on my drums and forget the rest of the world.

I knew there was a reason that I really try not to watch the news -- nothing but depressing things. I can't believe what's going on around here. Aliens? I feel like I'm in the latest summer blockbuster and I wish I could pinch myself and wake up from it. I also wish I could do something more than just hiding out in my apartment. Does anyone need help with anything at all? Is it safe to travel around this area?

If I can't get out of this apartment then my drum set is probably going to be dug out just to give me something to do. I hate feeling useless.

HELLO! My name is Valerie Frizzle and this is my first time on a message board thing like this before. So, I'm not entirely sure what I should be writing about, but I might as well give a small introduction about myself.

I am going to Fullerton to get my teaching degree and I want to teach elementary age students. I want to be a general teacher, but I really love science. I play the drums in my spare time and here's a random fact about myself: When I was little my parents told me that my hair was orange because I ate so many carrots (which I loved). So, I tried to go a month without eating a carrot to change my hair color. It obviously didn't work, but my parents had a good laugh about it.

Tell me something random about yourself!
