I'm Such a Bad Teacher.
I'm in class, and my students are taking a test. (I didn't make it really hard because I'm so nice, ha ha) I've been grading stuff for 3 hours and I'm taking a break so... here I am.

I want to make cupcakes when I get home... but I can't really cook. Have you seen the show "Queer Eye"? All the gay guys on that show know how to cook, but I don't. That's not fair. *pouts* But, here's the silver lining, Jake doesn't have to do anything this evening so he can make them for me. He was blessed with the cooking gene, which is good, because technically I'm the 'girl' (I really don't know how else to put that.) and he'd probably expect me to know how to make dinner if that wasn't his job, heaven forbid.

Okay, who wants to study for the English quiz next week? (I do this for my own enjoyment, since nobody reads this anyways)
