Skin...

... thankfully did not see much of it today... Why in the world do students want to show up with barely anything on in the name of "dressing up" for Halloween? At least my students kept themselves covered!

I read some of the answers to this week's journal topic. Here is mine: I don't have a shining happiest moment. I have content moments. In life - not school - I have little emotion. I prefer to keep those private. So I like to go to a happy place in my head. That happens to be when I listen to music. So many people do drugs to go places in their minds. I never did. Music takes me to my happy place and such in my mind. I have tried to capture that place with pictures - drawing and painting never worked. I am still trying to show what I see in my mind with the camera because it has not been a success yet. And by the way, the music is not the jazz I play in class. That is a secret part of who I am...
