Tea in the classroom?

…trying to figure out how I can brew tea in my classroom. That’s right — I’m going to have my own American Lit classroom in August! I will be working with angelic 11th graders each day.  In order to enjoy our literature, I say we have tea (or at least, I have MY tea).

One of the most interesting and brilliant people I have known was an older English professor who came to class each day with her fabulous wire rimmed glasses, white-haired (and perfectly turned under) bob, Mister Rogers-like cardigan, and cup of Earl Grey!

    I often had tea in the classroom, but I was teaching college students, and I would usually only teach for, at most, 2 hours back to back. It was funny though, I got listed on Rate My Professor, and people made remarks about how I drink lots of tea.

      I think my neck pain started about 3 years ago Hmmm (Tea sttiing in microwave for almost an hour now I stand to check its temp. Lol Nope definitely not an hour. Think I may be addicted, somehow not so much to the caffeine as the habit and flavour)But yeah, green tea contains high levels of fluoride so starting tomorrow I’ll start documenting how much better I feel on as few cups I can manage, try to keep it a constant and not change any other factors in my life.Remember though, I quit smoking about a week ago.As A side note I’d like to say that before drinking such high amounts of green tea I have always craved a drink in my hand and as such almost never have gone drinking less than 10 cups of WTF ever a day and I have no signs of diabetes so IDK.I drank 8 cups today including thisn here.It’s weird, I practiced Qigong alone about 2 yrs ago for about a year and decided it was also a contributer of my neck pain so I stopped doing it.I did feel an energy. It did grow with more practice but after obvious weird pulling sensations of severity (strooonge fields of energy yanking the center of gravity on my right side about a foot or two below the fucking earth) my pain got worse and worse. After much research I had concluded it was a chi imbalance probably caused by too little movement and too much sttiing at my desktop thwt’s when I stopped.K, tomorrow.. Tschuss!
