Good things at the end of the week

So some great things happened on Thursday and Friday this week.

#1. The Office Season Premiere - if you missed it, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

Watch the clip...

#2. The Warrior Word

I'm teaching journalism this year, and my class of 8 students and I decided to restart the school newspaper. We had a contest to name the paper, which went over well. After we had the name, we worked for 2 weeks, and the first edition of The Warrior Word went to print on Friday. The paper was distributed to the students for free during lunch study halls, and it was a hit. I got compliments from both students and teachers on the quality of both the writing and the layout, the but all of the credit goes to the students. They worked hard, and I am very proud of them. There is both a print and an online edition, so if you'd like to see it, go check it out here. If you want to see the print edition, there is a link at the bottom of the front page that will allow you to download a PDF version. Please excuse the picture quality in the PDF; I don't know why they look like that, they were fine when it was printed.

Price Increases

So I know I haven't posted in a long time, so I'll give you a quick update on my teaching job.  I love it.  Things are going much better than last year; I don't feel like a Mac truck has plowed me over at the end of the day for starters.  I've also taken a lot from the hellacious year I had in Maysville, so my class runs much more smoothly.  I guess it's true that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Anyways, moving on to the Pepsi logo to the left of the text.  I went to a convenience store today to buy a pop, and had my $1.50 ready when I pulled up to the drive-thru.  I the clerk then informed me that the price had gone up to $1.60.  Now, I'm not upset, I was just shocked because I remember  when you could get if for a dollar.  The other thing that shocked was the fact that I hadn't thought that the price had gone up to $1.50 all that long ago.  I think I was paying around $1.20 to $1.30 last spring in Maysville.  Anyways, have your dimes ready the next time you go to buy a Pepsi product.

*Sidebar - if you like Coke products, they haven't gone up -- yet
