January 21 - Getting over the hump

Episode watched - Kelly wants to go on "Semester at the Sea"

A coworker's boyfriend bet that I would only last 3 weeks, at first I scoffed at such an asinine statement, but I must say that today was the most difficult of all days. I almost gave in, I almost tapped out, I almost shut down the blog and pulled my best J.D. Salinger and went into hiding. Then as my entire planning period was occupied by office guests whom I was easily able to zone out, I remembered something I saw during an episode of the Ms. Bliss era. The students were in middle school at John F. Kennedy Junior High and this week we (Google included) celebrated the 50th anniversary of his inauguration. I was thankful, I did a little jig, I finally answered the rhetorical "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country." Well Mr. President, you just gave me new life, a fresh perspective, and an idealistic attitude.

Lesson Learned: The gang went from JFK Junior High in Indiana to Bayside in California, this will be addressed later on.
