Ah, the wonders of teaching in Los Angeles. Today, during my first period class, one of my students nonchalantly raised her hand and informed me (or rather, the class) that there was a giant roach scampering around the back of the classroom. While such occurrences are certainly not out of the ordinary, I have quickly grown a bit tired and weary of the constant minor distractions that take place throughout the day.

I walked back and grabbed a container of crayons, quickly emptied it, and then proceeded to make this unassuming roach our classroom pet as I trapped it in it’s new home, the crayon box, where it now sits in the classroom.

I hope it’s still alive tomorrow. I’m not sure what a roach diet it, but it’s likely not cardboard. What’s even crazier is that it’s this time of year that all animals seem to go a bit crazy, almost a year ago to the date, I posted on a wild squirrel that had gotten loose on the second floor.
