Kat's Playbook: August 2012

First Day of School

I am officially a teacher. And it feels damn good.

And thanks to my dearest e, I plan to read this quote to my class as we all start a new year full of excitement, To-Do lists, and anxiety!!

“Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.”

- Lao Tzu

This is also my theme song tomorrow. So don't worry.... It's always a good time.

The Golden Eagle

This is the Golden Eagle. I love this Eagle. Love love love. It is huge, gold, and sturdy. It used to be in my Mom's office when she was at the state Capitol. Very fitting.

Gator Guy hates it. Hates. So does my Dad. They both wanted to see it off to a donation center death. I was appalled.

I have saved The Golden Eagle and gave it a new home in my classroom. I am going to make my students tap the Golden Eagle for good luck before a test. You know...kind of like the Notre Dame Sign.
