misty-eyed

I have not read any of your evaluations yet, so for all I know you all hated absolutely everything about the class and hope that I will catch a terminal case of fleas from my three cats. But I do want to say, from the heart, that I truly have enjoyed this year.

I enjoy just about every year, so it's not exactly uncommon, but there was something gloriously unique about each of my classes this time around. Each had a strong and definable personality as a whole, and each was comprised of many memorable personalities as well. I think that there are more indelible memories of this year than almost any other year, and it makes me smile just thinking of them.

• the daily Ari-Thomas love-fest
• Mira and the graffiti book
• karaoke day in second period
• waffle parties
• Lindsey's love affair with John Barth
• Andrew Carr zipping past Trent and Azul in posts
• the 200-post club
• ice cream and waves
• Matt's perma-smile
• Lain's video fantasia
• Ben for two weeks
• Ari's 337 posts
  
• musings of johanna's ghost
• Maddy's 10,000 workshop pieces
• Emmy's 10,000 books
• "Snuff"
• second period debates
• trying to keep up with Nate, Anna and Tylee
• Tylee's violin solo
• Trent and Nick as Thoreau and Emerson
  
• the Feed Chrissy party
• Thomas's "journal song"
• 6 million random wikicab words
  
• the Portrait of the Artist rap
• what is art?
• water skiing across poetry
• and I'm only scratching the surface of memory

It has been a joyous and wonderful year. It's barely over and I miss it already.

I may be back later with a response to the evaluations.

Otherwise...

have a wonderful summer!
