Day 88!

Today was probably the worst day I have had in quite some time. I don't want to go into it, but suffice it to say that the way I was spoken to and the behavior that occured during one class in particular rather spoiled the whole day, putting me right out of sorts.

Highlights included actually successfully disciplining a different class for how they treated the sub, having a good meeting with the curriculum coordinator, and having community band.

Lows included forgetting to go to the softball/baseball game, not packing, and forgetting to buy baking supplies/forgetting until midnight to bake.

My (hopefully) happy moment:

My finished French Vanilla cake with Dark Chocolate frosting. It looks a bit like tar but it smells good.

Day 24!

Today was fairly average, overall. I did manage to be rather productive and got a lot of marking done at work. I am very close to completely done and plan to be by tomorrow!

I am, however, very sick of the cold and snow. I enjoy winter and find snow beautiful, but at this rate we won't have a Spring at all. We are set to get around 6" of snow and slush and ice this evening through tomorrow and I am not pleased at all. I merely hope we are delayed and not cancelled as we are already dealing with 5 snow days to make up! I wonder if I'll see grass again?

A highlight of my evening has been expanding my cake baking skills. The school musical begins tomorrow and they are having an intermission bake sale each night as a fundraiser. I have volunteered to bake cupcakes...when I obscenely over bought cake mix. Perhaps the best part of tonight's baking session was the fact that I turned it into a Les Miserables sing-a-long spectacular! Sorry not sorry.

My latest creations!

Behold: red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and fresh strawberries!

I had rave reviews on the standard red velvets and hope the strawberries end up being good sellers. 

Got any good baking recipes or ideas for things I could figure out how to bring to life? Hit me up! I have 80 test subjects who will merrily munch away at experiments.

Can I call my students test subjects?
