When it comes to school related thoughts, it seems my things don’t change from year to year. If FB would have shared this memory with me a month ago, I might have been inspired to come up with a Halloween costume.
From the Archives…October 29, 2020
“Dress up for school? It’s the day before Halloween, so slightly less motivated. I do admire those teachers that go all out. One year I’ll think ahead and buy a cool costume. Shakespeare Zombie? Alice in Covidland?
Last year I dressed as a dog walker, an excuse for comfy clothes and a hat. I’m debating “Covid Karen” -not the scary mask I complained about last month, but rather the lazy dresser I was when teaching from home. I also considered dressing as a student with hoody and a massive Google Classroom To-do list trailing out of my pocket and an hourglass running out of time (but that seemed a little mean).
Ultimately, it might be too much energy to come up with an excuse to be a lazy dresser tomorrow, then justify it all day long. I’ll just dress as a middle aged English teacher. That’s pretty frightening to begin with.”
Alas, my words from one year ago remain true today…except I managed to pull together this minimalist ( aka lazy) costume:
Cheers to all of you who love this dress up holiday and go all out. Maybe next year I’ll care more about about costume than the coffee crisps.
