I was inspired by another slicer, Kevin, here’s my attempt at summing up a day in a sentence.
The bliss of 20 students reading on the lawn and writing with fervor was only slightly dampened by the 2 hours I spent fixing a 10 minute video; also, there was a small amount of vomit.

This is so true! The energy from the students is powerful! The way you slipped in the vomit detail at the end was great.

Oh what a day! And yes maybe typical for everyday in the life of a teacher.
I am amazed at how much we can convey in one sentence. Yours is a perfect mentor text.

The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat–all in one sentence! Also I love a good semicolon. =D

I can totally relate to spending two hours fixing a ten minute video! Just did the same thing yesterday!

You definitely add interest with the vomit. I was feeling peace and enjoyment until the tech trouble and the barf.
By the way, I usually limit my response to Kevin’s writing to just one sentence.
