Ok, so after waiting and waiting to actually start substitute teaching, they finally call me at 6:15am for a Middle School about 3 blocks from my house. English to 7th and 8th graders. Holy Hell. It was so fucking hard. Way harder than I expected. Classroom management, my ass. More like - Combat!
No, some of the kids were real sweeties. I liked a LOT of them. But fuck, there's always some kid(s) who just suck. For a first day on the job, I was actually doing a lot better than I thought I would. I'm kinda pissed that I wasn't trained better. I'm kinda pissed that the teacher that I subbed for had a such a messy classroom. It was chaos. I didn't even find her lesson plans until after 1st period.
I came home and I crashed. I woke up with a headache from my hunger. There was no time to eat all day. Now it's 7:23pm and I'm wide awake and sore and kinda woozy from the excedrin I took. Also, I heffed on like half a pizza.
