it's time, butch

round 2.

armed with almost no idea what i'm doing (an improvement over having absolutely no idea last year), it's time to lace the gloves back up and step back into the ring.

on the bill for this contest:

in the red corner: hailing from the sovereign nation of dismerica, weighing in at 200 lbs., mr. november.

in the blue corner: hailing from puerto rico, dominican republic, haiti, jamaica, honduras, trinidad, the bronx, harlem, and likely a few other places, weighing in at about 23,000 lbs., 150 high school students.

the stats are as follows:

2 classrooms (an improvement)
only teaching until 8th, rather than 10th, period (also a bonus)
2 classes of freshmen (one of which is a special ed. inclusion class)
2 classes of intermediate esl (this will be interesting)
1 class of regents prep for juniors (the only thing on the list i feel prepared for)

should be a hard fought bout.
