I'm melting in my own sweat

First day of SEP with the kids, tomorrow's my first day teaching writing. I certainly am excited, and now that I've met the kids I'm a little less nervous. I bought 8 composition notebooks today, driving over to OfficeMax after work (all on my own!!). We're gonna decoupage them (because that's a verb) tomorrow, then start writing on Thursday. Exercises, I guess, to start with. I'll post which ones are successful and which ones flop (fingers crossed that as few of them flop as possible!)

IT. IS. ROASTING. When did Southern CA turn into a sauna? I thought it was supposed to be a desert. Didn't people used to come out here for their health, because the dry air was good for their lungs? What with the greenhouse effect, soon there won't be any such place left. The dry plains are slowly being washed over, the continents are shrinking because of rising oceans.... People who drive Hummers SUCK, people who refuse to admit that Global Warming is happening are basically key in helping it to happen, Bush and his oil cronies are selfish bastards who value their immediate wealth over long term worldwide effects. I hate my own car. The first thing I want to do when I've go the money is get a hybrid or an electric car, if they're alive again by the time I'm that rich, seeing as they've been dead since the 90s.

Law & Order SVU, I love you!
