BTS Night SAMO

With Morgan's sophomore schedule in hand, I hopped into the car with Lynne & Eric, and together we went to BTS Night 2013. 

Period 1 Pre-Calc/Calc A: Teacher is waaaayyy cute! I get now why Morgan & Marissa had lunch in his room last week. And, I love that Ben is in math with Morgan, always good for am drive time conversation.

Period 2 HP Chemistry: This class is going to be an easy one for Morgan. The teacher gave a very clear presentation, and obviously has a love for science and teaching science. She is definitely going to give these kids some food for thought and teach chemistry in a way that relates to the world outside the classroom. I hated my Chemistry teacher -- blah.

Period 3 HP English: By far, this was such a fun class to visit - so many of MY friends are in English. Especially loved seeing Barbara & Britta tonight. Teacher was young and energetic and already impressed with her students and the "mature" conversations taking place in her classroom. They are currently reading CATCHER IN THE RYE.

Period 4 Ceramics: This is the class Morgan chose for the required art she needs to graduate. Morgan is happy she gets to hang with Greta, although she definitely thinks this will be hardest class of the year. Teacher is soooo artsy and passionate. The take away is that this teacher believes that in these very techy and instantaneous times we don't get enough opportunities to just be quiet and thoughtful. She says that with ceramics it often takes three or four tries to get the piece "right". Whatever...

Period 5 Latin 2: Salve. One of Morgan's favorites, this class has a bunch of familiar faces, and lucky for me I sat with Joy and John tonight. Mr Khem is solid and I really like that Morgan had him as a teacher last year. Easy transition.

Period 6 Cheer: Felt like family when Joy and I walked in tonight. So great to reconnect with all of the coaches and parents. It is going to be a great year, and soooooo happy the American Apparel sale is back!!

My personal escorts tonight were Julianne & Jordan, and they made sure I stayed on track, and arrived to all of the classrooms promptly. They were adorable, and so sweet to help me. Throughout the evening, Morgan, Michelle, Connie & Sam kept me entertained via text, or perhaps I entertained them? 

I was quite anxious about going by myself, and I appreciated how not alone I actually was. Leaving campus with the Spillmans, the Kellys and the Goldens (my high school clique) at the end of the evening...well, I couldn't really ask for more.

Burn60 6am suckers...see you there.
