Back at it
The start of the school year has been extra rocky because of budget cuts. Huge classes, extra duties, no money for purchases, and--very annoying--hardly any air conditioning. I've been put in charge of the school's technology, which is taking up all my time and I don't like dealing with all the problems. I want to do library stuff.
But now the kids are back and it's better. The book club kids came to say hello and clamor over when the club's going to start up and share what they've read over the summer. And the wittle sixth graders are so adorable. I try to stand in the hall between classes to help direct them and answer questions.
Wittle 6th grader: Is it time to go home yet?
(Answer: No, you have one more class. Sorry.)
Wittle 6th grader, after the dismissal bell: OH HELP DO I HAVE TIME TO GO TO THE BATHROOM BEFORE THE BUSES GET HERE?
(Answer: Yes, don't worry. Plenty of time.)
Very Wittle 6th grader, at the beginning of the very first day of middle school: I have no idea what I'm supposed to do here.
Me: Learn! Become educated!
VW6G: *glare*
Me: Ok, you're supposed to go to your first period class. C'mon, I'll show you.
