School Day 1884

There's only one of me, 
but eight students have questions
and eight e-mails need answered.
Good thing I have fourth hour plan.

    My Poem:
    I don't work from nine to
    five. My digital life fills my days where
    a blog post can take fifty-six minutes
    to create, correct and publish. Done!

    3. Thanks for playing! I don't want to add up the minutes it takes to create a blog post...I tend to do it a paragraph at a time, dropping in and out as the mood and inspiration move me. Over a stretch of days a post will finally say "Done!" and then when I copy and paste into the site, there are still revisions that crop up.

  2. By the numbers: 9021

    My scaredy cats still
    have their nine lives,
    But our treasured Pooka has zero;
    Life is too short to live alone;
    Find a friend
    Two is better than one.
    I'm glad I've found
    my friend.

  3. This is Sarah, as it seems not to recognise me.

    My number: 8825

    Work and play are all one to me -
    as my play becomes work, work becomes fun.
    Modern life -
    blurring boundaries, my identities merge.

    My best friend was an extortion victim twice within
    Five years.
    These traumas Zeroed out his confidence and self-esteem.
    He's one in 3 billion, beating the odds, but the odds beat him.

    I don't work a 5 day, 8 hour work week.
    Instead, I focus 7 days a week with 1 purpose,
    to inspire and empower young people to reach their dreams.
