I'll be sending the next student who falls asleep in my American History class to Limbo.

[ Staff ]

I'm going to be indisposed for the next week or so. I've adjusted my syllabi to reflect the lost week. Of course, most of the time, students don't get any hard assignments on the first week so I doubt they'll be too disappointed. My advanced classes weren't set to begin until the third week of September anyway so there won't be much missed.

I'm going to be off campus. Please send me an email if you have any questions or need to give me any information. I'll be back by next Sunday.

I have been told encouraged to use the school's social media tools more often, but, being the old lady I am, I haven't been able to find much use for it. Don't get me wrong, I love my iPad, but nothing can replace a good book or a simple phone call.

All that being said, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm always available for a chat if you need one. I could use the practice with the school's programs anyway. I'm not a certified psychologist like Irene, but I know that, sometimes, you don't want to have your head shrunk.

I also have the best Jambalaya recipe in the world, passed down from my grandmother. I dare you to try it and tell me it's not.

I think we could all use a break after a week of screaming teenagers. I'm hosting a live music night at M.A.D. this coming Saturday. No cover charge. It's always nice to be around your own in a different setting.

ooc: M.A.D is an underground mutant only nightclub Selene owns. It's in Manhattan.

I've heard that my arrival came just to late for certain festivities. Ah, well, I hope you all enjoyed your prom.

My father Father Craig would really hate this whole gay marriage legalization. Ha, to hell with you, old man. I'm proud to be an American. Mostly. Mostly American.

It appears our little merry band of idiots has made the news.

[To Emma's Students]

Finals week is fast approaching. Are you ready for your exams?

Those of you who have been doing extra coursework will be glad to know that all of your efforts have paid off. Not only was the culprit of the April Fool's Day incident found, but the extra work has improved almost everyone's grades. Bravo.

Anything turned in in the next week will be purely for extra credit. If you already have the assignments finished, you might as well hand them in. It's worth the effort in itself. Also, anyone who has an A will be exempt from my finals. That is the reward for all your effort. Be proud of yourselves.

Of course, you're more than welcome to take the final to improve your A-grade, but I sincerely doubt I'll see any over-achievers in my classes.

Don't forget the deadline for signing up for my advanced courses. They are small classes and will only accept six to ten students per semester. This allows us to work at a faster pace than the larger courses. Exceptions can be made, but Seniors will be be given priority. Take this chance to prepare yourselves for college courses, my dears.
