You can't have your cake and eat it too: January 30, 2010

I always hated that expression.  If you already have a cake, of course you’re going to eat it.  Maybe I’ve hated that expression because I didn’t understand it.  Until now.

After an excruciatingly long time of getting myself trusted around the school, have the director to allow me to throw trash in a hole, and given a key to the classroom to hold summer school, I thought it would be smooth sailing from here on out.  The cake had arrived.  But that expression was on to something.  I can’t eat it too, if there are no students here to share it with.

Week 1 of summer school: empty classroom.
