Hey class, how's tricks?
DON'T PANIC if you are not on the AP roster. There are about eight of you who are not on my roster right now. I will fix it, so chillax. If I have your notebook, you are my student. That's the deal.
I have notebooks from kids I never heard from all summer! No blog entries, no emails, nada. Hmm. That was surprising.
Also, I noticed that the gender balance in our class is out of whack. Only 28% males...lots of guys dropped. Why is that, do you think?
Anyway, whoever you are, male or female, I applaud the fact that you negotiated my somewhat convoluted assignment to get this far. Stop reading right now and reach around and give yourself a little pat on the back. Do it.
You know how this works because of all the fairy tales and fantasies you have read all throughout your lives. The one who starts out on a quest must prove themselves worthy before they are even offered entry into the arena. Once the quester has completed the tasks, the doors swing open, and then they are REALLY in for it. Here come the Hydra-headed monsters and whatnot. Al-qaeda.
Some of you kids' former teacher, and my dear and beloved friend, Carin Meister, hosted my 50th birthday party...she is going to be the librarian at a fancy schmancy private elementary school this year. She has no plans at the moment to return to Mayfair...and because I love her so darn much, I might take graduate classes with her in library science. Why not? Sounds interesting -- I LOVE libraries, and somebody has to defend them -- and it opens up a whole new set of possibilities for my future...I might enjoy being a golfing librarian at some remote, out of the way place someday. Or the librarian/writing teacher with a snappy little condo on a fabulous golf course...
Hey, what am I doing chatting you up? I have work to do! Good-bye!

Do you think that Mrs. Meister will be back our senior year? I would enjoy seeing my 9th grade teacher again.

Hey Betty, I just graded your notebook today...terrific work. You will be happy with your excellent grade.
Let's make a lunch for Mrs. Meister. It's her birthday September 10. Maybe all her former students and I could host a little lunch time party for her and her girls...it would have to be a Friday. How's that sound?
Mrs. Meister is not planning on coming back to Mayfair? That is very disappointing. She was a great teacher. I would love to see her again soon :]
