OSPI - Day Three

Seriously, my district should get a refund. Almost every session I attended was "full" and most I tried to attend were "full" before I could get in. Of course, many would not have been that way if the Seattle Convention Center staff hadn't set up room to accomodate the least number of people possible and then forced people out if anyone dared to hang around to see if one of the saved seats might be given up. ALL of the full sessions I attended had at least two empty seats about 5 to 10 minutes after it started. They stayed empty while people wandered about aimlessly trying to find something they could get into.

Needless to say, my last day of the conference was spent making a weekend to-do list and reprogramming my phone. Yes, my brand-spanking-new phone jumped into the toilet. I always wondered how on earth that happened... now I know. It jumped from bag. The next morning it was declared dead and I had to get a brand new one.

At least I got new shoes.

I would take new shoes over a boring conference any old time :)

One time I was talking on the phone and I had a drink resting on the chair I was sitting in. Suddenly my phone leapt from my hand and seriously landed directly in my cup... I was like, "how in the world did that just happen?"

I had to get a new phone :( haha!

How styling would I look with this set, while attending my first AP reading? This has a definite wow factor! Yes! I was asked… still waiting for my district to work out the details as it takes place while we are still in school. No one can make the decision at this point because, well… there is no more money anywhere. I’ll know for sure by next week. Enough of school politics! This will be one of those giveaways with fantastic odds! Unfortunat...

I was tagged... Here are the instructions: 1) Go into your archives. 2) Find your 23rd post. 3) Find your 5th sentence (or closest to it). 4) Post the text of your sentence in your blog along with these rules. 5) Tag five other people. Here it is... Since I was to be in a meeting all day, the district hired a substitute for my classes. And thus my aversion to having subs in my class was born. Or rather the unknown factor of them - the planner in me cringes at the thought of being off schedule. Of course, I could be flexible, but flexible is much harder.
