Workshop vs. Classroom

This is a random post. Well, they're all random....really.
So the workshop this past week was full of great ideas, and really smart teachers throwing out their views on literature and tone and attitude and theme and breastfeeding and sex.

Did you catch those last two? Believe it or not this was one of the most entertaining workshops I have been to in awhile. The instructor, who shall remain nameless, was more than willing to share details of her past two marriages and world views on many different subjects. She was also willing to flip people off and use swear words.

We talked about how she will probably be married four times before she is finished. Although the intriguing part was that her last marriage was to a band director who still teaches in her school, and whose new lady (the one he cheated on her with) also works in the school. Awkward?

Anyway...I came away with some great lessons and new words for the classroom:

Scrizzled in place of Screwed.
Vocabilomious instead of "lots of words"
Jerklet

Feel free to use them in your everyday life!!
