A new blog

I've decided that story writing is quite an undertaking. So instead, I'm going to record little things that happen so that I can be immensely entertaining without putting hours of time into it. So here begin tales of being a small single woman in Chicago teaching in an elementary school and trying to make time for academics. I hope you enjoy my life hugely.

Story number one. I'm sitting at lunch with my first graders, all of whom are learning English, and a little girl leans across the table holding a very long and skinny carrot.
"Look teacher!" she says, holding up the carrot.
"This carrot is really fat, just like you!"
