me and amanda

I've been back at the school all week attending faculty meetings, professional developments, and working in my new room (yes, I actually get a room this year, not a traveling shopping cart!). My room is still a work in progress and the meetings are pretty much over for the week, but I feel like I still have SO much to do in SO little time! With school starting on Monday, I still have yet to make any copies of my disclosure or starter, let alone figure out what I'm doing to "do" the first week with my students.

This morning we had a faculty meeting (from 8-12!), and before that a nice continental breakfast provided by the school. After about 2 hours of non stop information, we were released for a break. Naturally, I went to the restroom. On my way back in one of the other teachers stopped me and put her hands on my shoulders and said, "Oh, my! I know who you look like!" And I said, "Oh, who?" I get this a lot from people when they say, "You look like my friend/sister/cousin/etc." This is what I was expecting. Do you want to know who she said I looked like?
This is Amanda Seyfried. She is currently in the movie "Mama Mia," and is also in HBO's "Big Love." This is who this teacher thinks I look like?!?!?!?!?!? I told her that it was a huge compliment because I think Amanda Seyfried is simply breathtaking. She went on and on about the movie "Mama Mia," and we shared a silly moment of singing the songs. I'm still not quite sure, but I'll take the compliment!!!

For fun, let's do a split screen:



























Interesting.
