blue and orange

We're hosting the girls championship basketball game in our gym (ok, it's not ours, it's rented) tomorrow night! Go Bulldogs! Then the boys play a playoff game at 9pm at another gym a few minutes away. It should be an exciting night. Tomorrow's events were also the reason that the entire staff received the following email today:

Tomorrow is a school spirit day. Students and staff will be permitted to come to school dressed as long as it is in blue and orange. Any questions let me know

All I could do was sit at my desk and laugh. I need to go track down some blue and orange...

Yesterday in eighth grade (somehow all of my stories are from 8th grade...) I was talking to the boys about this neat article in Popular Science.

Me: "Okay guys, I found this neat article in Popular Science, which is a pretty neat magazine if anyone wants to look at it..."

someone: Miss Book, are you a science nerd?

Me: (holding up magazine) Yes. Now this article...

FS: You are!?? (eyes wide) You're a science nerd? Really? Can we call you that? Science Nerd. SN.

It was like he'd never met one before...:) hehe

Same class period, I am standing next to FS's desk, holding up the article so they can see it, and talking about it. I feel something touch my wrist and look down...FS is apparently completely distracted by the blue veins in my white wrist and has decided to trace them with the end of his pen. I didn't really catch on to what he was doing at the moment, I was so distracted by what I was saying, but that evening I was at a class I have to take to keep my state certification and I realized what he had been doing. Which made me start laughing to myself. The other people at my table probably thought I was crazy...:-p
