School started for Mel this past Wednesday. How'd she get to 8th grade so fast? Her first day of Kindergarten was like yesterday, and she was the smallest kid in class. Well, thanks to the different rates of growth between adolescent boys and girls, at 4'11" she's taller than a few boys in her grade, for now (but nearly all the 8th grade girls tower over her).
Today, she chose this shirt to wear to school, which she bought just last week:
She had worn similar "hug" shirts to elementary school before, and the predictable result was that she would often receive a hug or few from classmates.
But also today, her middle school had a "special" assembly. No hugs or expressions of affection are allowed in school! Apparently, the school had some sexual harrassment issues in the previous school year. Melody was so embarrassed because she was seated near the Principal and Vice Principal, and tried her best to cover her (now "subversive"?) shirt. After school, we were able to see the humor in the whole thing. Leave it to Mel to pick that day to wear that shirt!

I shouldn't be blogging right now because my brain is in a quiet panic. But here I am. This is a little something from last month:
I found this on the bathroom door when I came home from a day of student teaching. Melody left for school about a half hour later than I did, so she probably put up the note right after I drove off that morning.
Melody had been doing well this quarter with getting her assignments turned in on time, up to this one. The stained-glass window assignment for her Social Studies class was listed as "missing" in her online grades. I love the fact that I can check her grades online. Ain't technology wonderful? She was sooo busted.
