Shannon’s Weblog

  I would like to start off by saying that my name is Shannon Miller. I understand that you already know this, BUT did you know that I share this name with the 1996 Olympic gold medal gymnast Shannon Miller?!?!  I deserve to stay in this classroom because of the value of my name…how many instructors can say that they have a student who has earned so much fame?? And besides, no one needs to know that I am not the award-winning gymnast (you can leave that little part out). Think of the popularity you would gain if others knew you had such a prestigious young woman gracing you with her presence three, sometimes four days out of the week? You might even say that you give me (her) special tutoring sessions to help improve on grammar. And, during these “tutoring sessions” you could even say that you have learned many personal things about me. This opens the door for you to be featured in a distinguished magazine such as US weekly about the “Dirt on Shannon Miller…The Gymnast.”  Just picture it, page 83—“Nancee Reeves Tells All”, and on page 84—“Britney Spears Tears.” How many people can say that they have shared the spotlight with “America’s Party Girl” Britney Spears? The answer is not many. And, remember Nancee with fame, comes fortune. Is there anything in this world that you have always wanted, yet it has been out of your reach? Worry no more, because with my help you can obtain all, achieve all, and never desire anything which you cannot have. Before you make the decision on whether or not to throw me out of this class, I want you to think long and hard about my proposal. If this sounds like a deal with the devil… it’s because it kind of does. This argument took a very wrong turn. I’m very sorry, this seems kind of creepy…haaaa

Anyway, I can bake some pretty awesome cookies…so if this whole “fame and fortune” thing doesn’t sound enticing, just think about warm, chocolaty goodness all wrapped up in a delicious cookie.
