| I love it.
Nina, you rock. Good work!
Happy Pi Day everyone, I hope you all had a great one.
I went and bought a big Coconut Cream Pie to share with all my friends. But, everyone I know is trying to not eat too many fatty foods, so I ended up eating most of it myself! Delicious!
Ah, I miss Pi Day. And my old students too.
Hey, I got some news for all of you.
I got engaged!
(Like my hair?)

| Oh oh oh.
Do you know what tomorrow is?

| Wow, I sure haven't stopped by the ol' Xanga in a while. What with everyone on myspace, facebook, and all the other sites out there.
How you doing, Xanga? Remember me?
I sure hope everyone's having a great 2007 so far. I sure am. I can feel big things in store for this year. You know, I've always been a little partial to years that are either divisible by 4 or have the number 7 in them. So these next two years are gonna be great, right?
And thank you, thank you, thank you to all my former students who keep coming back to this site.
Oh, and Nina, don't sweat high school math. It's easy, it's just the teachers who sometimes make it seem harder than it should be. I'll let you in on a little secret. I failed one of my high school Calculus courses. And now I teach it! Ha ha!

| Whoo-hoo!
School's done!
Well, actually, I've been out of school for quite some time, and I just finished my first semester of summer school.
But ain't it great to be out of school? What a great feeling, huh?
Congrats to all the 8th graders out there who are now done with Middle School! Good going!
(Honestly, when you're done with middle school, you can look back at it
and say things like, "Wow. I sure am glad I'm not in middle school
anymore.")

| Wow! What a fun trip back to NYC.
The best part was visiting IS318 and getting a chance to teach in my
old classroom with my old class! Brought back so many memories, I got a
little emotional and kind of forgot what I was teaching a couple of
times.
You know, being away from the classroom for the last year, I've
realized how rusty my teaching skills have gotten. I'm glad my students
stayed attentive, even until the end. I remember how hard it is on the
last couple periods of Friday to stay focused.
Oh well, here's a picture I found of my old classroom. Look familiar?
And, thanks American100, for stopping by 318 to say hi. You made the visit out there all the more fun.
Have fun with the rest of the year! And to all my old 7th graders, have
fun in High School next year! Let me know what you're up to. Feel free
to hit me up: teddychao@yahoo.com
Later.
