This is What I Will Be Doing on Sundays this Fall
Finally got a cyclocross bike. Can't wait for the fun to begin. If I'm a little sore on Mondays in October, this is why:

Devin,
Unfortunately that clip doesn't show all that cross has to offer. There are barriers and run-ups where the rider has to carry their bike up a hill and then hop back on. You and the nerds should come out to a race this fall. It's quite a scene.

We'll all pile into Nicole's Hogwarts Express Van and cheer you on like the rabid fangirls we are.
How has your summer been anyway, Carlisle? How's the house deal coming? You know my father deals with loans and brokers and stuff like that if you still need, you're probably past that point though.
12:27 AM
Like oh my god its Devin Mohr! How are you Devin? Hows summer? I havent talked to you for like 3 months! Hows the whole moving out thing coming?
1:46 AM
I don't know how much I want to see Mr. Carlisle in spandex... haha
6:18 AM
Oh my God it's Max Slyter! I'm good, Max. Getting ready to take Portland by storm 8/30 for the Con - Look for me Carlisle!
I've just been busy doing geeky things... what else?
How about you?
And Viki's right... spandex...
9:13 AM
I've been having a good summer actually. I've been volunteering at the library and am still trying to get a job. I hope we have some of the same classes next year. That would be fun. You still living with your mom? Hows that going?
9:57 AM
Fangirls rule.
I can work the spandex, don't you geeks worry about that.

Watch this. At first, it looks like a boring documentary but it is actually quite funny.

Mr. Carlisle I have a question for you. Do you have any dissenting views from your political party? I'm just curious to see if you're all party lines or not.
7:54 PM
Max,
Yes. There are hard to explain without fully giving away my political ideology.
8:48 PM
Ah ok. I was just curious. One day I'd like to talk with you and discuss your views if you're ever willing to reveal them.
10:05 PM
oh my goodness!
HAAAAAAA
you would!
10:51 PM
Max,
Mos def.

MAx - ONE YEAR.
That''s all we have to do... then the great mystery of Carlisle's political party will be known.
It's like Christmas in July.

Whoa someone stole my identity on the blog! Who's the culprit?
12:52 PM
Mr. Carlisle I found some interesting facts of oil and gas companies. I wish more people would research before criticizing.

1:31 PM

11:32 PM

I met your wife today. She seems like a wonderful lady.
It was awkward because I came up to her not knowing it was her and was like, "uh this may be weird, but I have a teacher named Mr. Carlisle and he told me his wife works here...do you know which one she is?" and she was like, "uh, that's me"
12:31 PM
She tpld me you came to introduce yourself. Very nice! Wilson and I were up at THS getting our rooms set up for the fall. I'm pretty much good to go. Can't wait for IB History!! Get ready to read your butt off.
2:22 PM
Hey Mr. Carlisle I'm in your psychology class 1st semester, 1st period on A days. Can't wait for that.
2:26 PM
Max,
THAT'S GREAT NEWS!! You need to bring it for first period. I haven't had a first period class in a while. I really hope I have some energetic students for that class.
2:43 PM
Are you going to play a prank on those little juniors the first day?
5:11 PM
Um excuse me, Vikki *snaps fingers in Z shape*
I'm right here.
Reading? Carlisle, what is that you speak of? I have not read a book since Wilson's class 1st semester.
Well, I did read Colbert's book, but I guess that's not considered a piece of "literature".
5:36 PM
And on the note of Max's good news, you'll have me for psychology next semester... I know, you wish it was sooner.
5:43 PM
Vikki,
Feel free to email your ideas for pranks.
Devin,
Didn't you already take Psych?!? You better not be in the class that Cat signed up for. You will not sit within 30 feet of her.
N-tohn,
Reading. Not a book, but reading. As readings. We're hoping to have an actual reader for IB this year. We'll see. Oh, you will also have reading quizzes. Lots of reading quizzes.
8:07 PM
Hmm okay.
I'm not gonna lie- I am nervous and anxious for next year.
So, I was wondering why we never really had reading quizzes in psych last year?
8:46 PM
Narintohn, you have NO reason to be nervous for this school year. Keep showing me outlines for History and you will be more than fine.
Regarding your question about RQs in Psych, honestly I didn't feel like grading them. I had enough reading quizzes to grade in history along with all of the essays and tests. So I guess the answer is just laziness on my part. Plus I think some of the material can be kind of difficult to get on your own.
I'm really curious to see if my overall student numbers drop in Psych since I gave only IDs and essay exams all year in lieu of multiple choice exams.
9:44 PM
I did, I took IB Psych with Caro - so you better live up Carlisle! I have no worries about it though.
As if I'm the problem student! You're confusing me with Nicole. Besides, having me on one side and Cat on the other... I can see problems... But I don't think it's the same calss, so you've dodged a bullet.
9:20 AM
Haha, that looks pretty insane. Good luck with that. Those bikes are pretty interesting though, they look like road bikes with thick tires. Probably so you can pick it up and run! Haha. I can't imagine why you would possibly want drop handlebars for an even like that though...
I especially like the tandom :)
7:04 PM
Carlisle-
You WOULD do this.
Haha it's kinda interesting though.
If you ever have any good crash stories you should share them. We could compare. I have some good injury stories, just not from cyclocross... :-)
