Starting Monday, the world as we know it

will be over. Jack hasn't got anyone left. My feelings about Edgar pale in comparison to what happened last night. Because some have not yet seen it, I shall not divulge any more information than what I already have. It was sweet though, Jack sending the Hobbit to his death. He is not a hero, and if CTU survives Bauer's wrath, he better not be protrayed as such.

On my way to the high school today, I almost completely rear ended this stupid red mazda vehicle. Not only because some cars are too impatient to drive behind semi's but also because other drivers have not a shred of confidence on the road and therefore lead me to almost ram into their slow asses. I was probably less than an inch away when I finally stopped. Good gracious! Surprisingly I got over that incident sooner and faster than last night's show.

I was supposed to teach math today. I got a call this morning and reluctantly agreed to take the gym instead. When I got to the high school, the secretary told me that another sub was going to take the gym instead. She got there FINALLY (at about 7:10, mind you start time is 7:00) and decided on the gym. That gave me history. :D I was underdressed for the occasion (no makeup because I thought I was going to be in the gym and jeans and a hoodie, yeah. comfortable, but inappropriate considering I looked like one of the kids instead of trying to be an authority figure), hardly had enough time to unlock the door before the bell rang, and luckily had Channel One to get settled and organized. Watching a movie for three of the five hours and A.P. U.S. history for the other two were awesome.

In case you were wondering, here is are "reasons to study history" by high school students, in their words:
-History provides identity
-History contributes to moral understanding
-Using past for present
-History helps being a good citizen
-History helps us understand change and how the society we live in came to be
-History exists in everyday life
-History helps us understand people and socities
-Studying history develops skills
-History is helpful in world of work

Days like today make me wish I had gotten my certification. But then I remember the hellish nightmare that those education classes are and makes me quickly change my mind.

All in all, I'm tired today (had an exceptionally hard time getting my blood pressure to return to normal) but had a good day. Now I have about two hours down time before its time to walk the line.
