January 26 - O Romeo, O Romeo

Episode watched  - The Glee Club

I was a substitute teacher once, probably the second worst job I had next to folding clothes at the Gap for 3 weeks in high school (it was because a cute girl from school worked there; I realized then and I realize now that I had absolutely no shot). When the gang had a substitute teacher in English they read Romeo and Juliet; we just began reading the play today in class. I couldn't help bring up the fact that they "read" it on show and how I would absolutely never make a substitute be responsible for teaching the play to freshmen. Don't get me wrong, I love the play, I've read it now 20+ times but trying to get 14-15 year olds to love it is a whole other beast.

Lesson learned: Save sub days for early retirement.
