Why grading takes me so long:
mllehazelwood:
Read a page.
Shake my damn head.
Sit in disbelief that someone thought this was good.

For those of you who reblogged and liked my posts: aww geez, you know how to make a dark man blush

Fashionable Teacher Week: Friday
In lieu of my original idea of posting a picture of myself suited up, here is a link to an amazing blog about menswear and how to dress properly.
