Monday

Well, here I am in a Science and Creative Writing class wondering what's happening to our youth. I won't elaborate on that here for fear of retribution, but I will say on a positive note that there's actually been some of these students who want to do something. I guess, in their defense, that most subs don't to do much more than babysit.

I want to do more. I'm paying a dollar to the first kid who finds the word of the day and uses it in a sentence. If it takes a bribe so be it.

Let me digress away from subbing for a moment. I've been told via email that our beloved MVAE is cancelling its final concert due to financial straits. One can only hope that we'll be able to regroup for the fall. Memphis Vocal Arts Ensemble is a great group of great singers who just can't seem to advertise.

One can hope that we can find some advertising and get people to know about us. If you've never been to a Vocal Arts concert, you'll be pleasantly surprised if you venture forth and try us.

Gotta go back and try to inspire some fourteen year olds to write.
