    Great. E-mail me your e-mail address (my address is mail@christophertusa.com), and I'll send you the download link for the e-book. I really don't want to post it publicly.


    Thanks,

    Chris

    Why thank you m'dear.
    Not sure if I'll actually get anything, but...
    Sadly it all may be superceded by a need for a new ipod. Which makes me angry because I seem to go through them twice as fast as anyone else, but I don't know why.
    In other news the Puritans annoy me.

    So... Is this the dress you were thinking: http://www.fanplusfriend.com/servlet/the-161/Dolly-Sweet--fdsh--Gothic/Detail
    It's pretty rad.
    Things I'm toying with getting:
    Door # One: http://www.postwartrade.com/products/ampersand-necklace
    Door # Two: http://www.fanplusfriend.com/servlet/the-1403/Navy-Lolita-School-Uniform/Detail
    (sooooo stereotyped, but I would wear it!) (In black or pink NOT blue)
    Door # 3: http://www.fanplusfriend.com/servlet/the-1523/Gothic-Punk-Dandy-Ouji/Detail (I love it. But would it actually 'work' in real life?) (not sure which colors either)
    Input would be apprecciated. Not that I can get anything know, but I like to plan!
    Back to (not) studying ap!

    Here be this:
    Greetings, Elm Leaf Staff!

    First things first: Please send a reply to this message confirming your receipt of it as soon as possible, so I can verify I have entered everyone's email addresses correctly into my Contacts list. Thank you! Also, let me know if you cannot access one or both of the attachments.

    I wanted to make sure everyone had an updated calendar and practice assignment instruction sheet. Please view and print the attached ASAP and keep for your reference. The calendar remains subject to change. Note: Artists - your instructions are not on the attached sheet, but you should already know you are creating illustrations and captions for a previous issue of the Elm Leaf. I hope everyone now has their marching orders.

    Calendar: A few changes - Story idea collection and article assignments have been moved up a week from 9/24 to 9/17. I have added vocabulary to that day - a list of words to study. I have moved the Quarter 1 Final Reflections due date to two days before the end of the quarter to give me more time to grade your work, since our test is on the last day of the quarter. We'll go over what is required for each assignment and what will be on any quizzes and the test with plenty of notice.

    Assignment: To clarify, you may interview any teacher, not just a new teacher. Have all interviews done by Thursday, 9/10, so you can write your article/prepare photos in time for delivery to page editors by end of day Friday, 9/11. Page editors, please note that I have added to your bullet list to make a copy for me of your feedback to writers and artists so that I may assess your work as well. Remember, your edits are due to Sophia or Chris by Monday, 9/14.

    If any of you have any questions, please email or come see me so we can clear things up. Chances are, your question is shared by others.

    I'll see many of you tomorrow, but if I don't see you then, it's bright and early, 7:30 a.m. sharp!, on Thursday in Room 125, the Library Annex (where we met last week).

    Oh, one more thing. I have submitted a request to the teachers of 9th grade English to recruit from their classes to add to our staff. We'll see what happens.

    Have a great week everyone!

    Best wishes,
    Ms. Tangenberg

    and:
    Practice Newspaper Assignment (assigned Sept. 3)


    To get our writing juices flowing and to help new staff members learn the ropes, we decided to do practice articles and photographs. This assignment is worth 40 points.


    Writers and Assistant Editors:

    generate a list of at least ten interview questions for the teacher interview
    participate in the interview before September 10th à Approach your chosen faculty member and request a meeting ASAP; be sure to emphasize that this is practice and will not be published!
    submit a polished news or feature article (according to journalistic guidelines presented in class) to your assigned page editor by 2:45 on Sept 11
    be sure your article meets the following requirements:
    submitted by deadline
    typed and double spaced
    short paragraphs
    no editorializing; facts only
    interesting, meaningful, full-sentence quotations
    quotations from at least TWO sources
    use of the verb said for quotes
    use of third person
    colorful, creative opening paragraph
    accuracy with spelling, grammar, and punctuation

    Because you might need them and don't has email.
    And Chris say newspapering is not optional for you. ;p
    Good luck!

    And you think I am?
    I've screwed up every assignment I've been given so far!

    Good luck!

    Yeah, class with one AP kid=90% chance 75% of AP kids will be there. I'm not sure if this is a good thing that enables me to be with at least a few friends or a horrible thing that makes us all incredibly arrogant. At least will be getting some new blood...
    Hey, in Precalc let's pick new seats everyday! (If he has the same policy as in geometry)
    Going back to Latin now will only make me feel dumb. We'll both be in language classes with totally different grade levels! Meghan says that the new english teacher is nice.

    I'm glad you weren't miserable. Have you hear dthere's a real live latin teacher now? We have two classes and lunch together. That's not totally awful. (Next year take AP gov. Or maybe I won't)
    1-2 Theology (Bellinger)
    3-4 German (McGee) (I *so* wanted ceramics. But I also **so** wanted German so.. I deserve this)
    5-6 Eng III Hon (Tangenberg) (together!)
    7-8 A.P. U.S. Hist. (Lorincz (yay!!!)
    9-10 Lunch/free (together!)
    11-13 Phys then Chem
    14-15 PRECALC (WHY?) (at least we're together?)
    16-17 Free (But I'll opt into Art II if no-one else is free) (Sorry you have PE)
    Also I thought it was kinda funny that Mrs. Sufur was incredibly nice to me now that she's seen my score. Funny, that. I feel like having a different teacher is some sort of reward.

    Sorry missed your call- You sounded miserable :( I'm sorry. I was going to call back, but I was afraid I would just distract you. And don't worry about waking me up (which you didn't this morning but...)
    See ya tomorrow at the leadership workshop of DOOM/fun and games.

    edit: I know I shouldn't gain my opinions on how I look from total strangers, BUT since my friends/family always say I look fine and how I look to myself has more to do with my mood than anything else well... they're the most subejctive guide. Also she was a stranger with a fashion sense similar to mine.
    Also you're voicemail isn't set up (and I wouldn't leave a voicemail if it was, but someone might) (nothing personal I'm just in a really un-voicemail mood)

    Huh, nun's hair. That's cool. My hair is now shorter than ever (she was trying to even out the color) but a random woman complimented me so I'm probly not hideous(er).
    Akron Zoo. Jaguars, Snow Leopords, tigers, lions, bats (!), crows, sheep, jelly fish, other fish, komodo dragons, black swans, white swans, bald eagles, red pandas, crows, sheep, pigs, barking deer, llamas, assorted other cute things, and many unruly toddlers. What've you been up to?
    We went to the movies today and there was a preview for a film about Amelia Earhart that I think comes out this fall. Will you see it with me? Also I'm calling you to ask about lunch and schedules tomorrow.

    Oh, I googled her too. Now 'I Google You' is on my layout playlist. Creepers unite! Cool as she might sound I am still taking notes (though it may kill me). The only thing is anyone with their online profile that pimped out... Ah vell. It'll be fine. The thing with haircuts is I always feel like I should be conversational because otherwise I imagine cutting hair would be really boring, but I never know what to say. She's more my mom's hairdresser than mine, but she's really good so...(you were right it was pretty short).
    And I got to go to the zoo today!

    Of course! 'Songstress' (song+stress; should we listen to her during exams?) I knew the word singer was just, so, so, out but couldn't think of anything to replace it!
    I would being doing the usual of no notes, but I want our new English teacher to think I'm responsible due to the fact that she will also be the newspaper moderator. Unfortunately my notes say 'trying' not 'responsible.' In any case good luck to you.
    Kripi's back. I got like a two-line email so I don't really know how she is though. In other news I hate getting my haircut.

    Oh, and this week's 'Discovery Download' on iTunes features Imogen Heap. I haven't listened to it yet, but I thought you'd like to know.

    You mean like work other than going back through my god-awful notes and trying to erase all the bits where I start talking about how I want to make lentil tacos? (And actually taking BNW notes?) Am I missing somefink?
    Good for you. I am envious of your 8-gig-ness.

    Huh, good for him. (Not as catchy though) The charge somehow got muddled in my mind with picket fences...which is why I still remember it after two years (actually I might remember more american history than i think...)
    Enjoying your last week of freedom? I keep screwing up my own plans and the people who love me may or may not be out to get me.
    I'm glad you got a new ipod! What color be it?

    Pickett sent a photograph it's autographed and everything... I'm assuming he was a racist? Didn't he lead a charge at Gettysburg or something? And, out of curiousity, what's your faorite Dresden Dolls album? (oh, and do you have a new ipod?)

    Well I gues there's always snailmail "I've seen better days but I don't care/Oh I just sent a letter in the mail" (Not saying your a racist or anything). Good luck!

    What about your old email (the yahoo one)? Is it still alive? I'm not demanding a response so much as trying to help- I've had enough failed email addresses that I know it's really annoying. Good luck.
    Currently I'm actually making things for, like, the first time all summer.
