The music and my mood make it sound liek my day was horrible... it really wasnt that bad, just long and a couple annoying things...
Yesterday and Thursday I worked at Madison teaching Humanities for the same teacher as the last time I was there. For the most part the kids are good and I like that they know me now. Friday most of the gold team (the grades are divided in half and 7th grade has blue team and gold team) went on a field trip and I was the teacher to stay back. The kids did a little work - extra credit - and then we watched a movie. I was sad not to go on the field trip - would have been my first as a teacher! But it ended up not being such a bad day. At the end of the day one of the teachers found a notebook in her room. Ah, middle school notes back and forth in a notebook. Now I remember doing that in MS but it was all about who likes who and whatnot. This was very disturbing. Negativeness about basically every teacher that these kids have, called them names and making fun of them. My nickname is Ms. Fucker - fun huh? I mean seriously. Then all sorts of sexual stuff and even a picture of a kid shooting another kid. I left on Friday seriously disturbed about the whole thing. I cant believe kids are like that. Were kids like that in my MS? I feel incredibly naive about it all but it just amazes me.
Last night I went to the symphony with my dad. Rostropovich conducting Seattle symphony. The concert was awsome, I loved it! Except that I was tired and managed to fall alseep, not hardcore but definatly dozed off. The concert lasted 2 and a half hours and we didnt get home until nearly 11. I had planned to go out with Annika and Phil but I'm glad that I didnt because I was so tired. I was cranky as it was this morning and I feel like I'm starting a sore throat, always fun, so the sleeping was good. I dont get out much anymore. And there is this part of me that wishes I did - I deserve to have a good time! But then part of me that is perfectly content with not. You go out, drink, spend money and go to bed late and then I always manage to be cranky in the morning. Well I should take that back. I do like going out with friends even if it is drinking and spending money, we all deserve some fun! As long as I'm not working the next day and I can sleep in : - ) So the next time someone wants to go out and I'm not working (or maybe working but havent been up since 545!) Then I will have to go because really, I'm only young once right? And I should be having a good time. Tonight I'm staying in I think which is cool. Stephanie is coming down and we're going to watch movies or Gilmore Girls or something. I think I really like staying in cause I'm lazy. I dont have to figure out what to wear or drive anywhere or try and look cute. I can lay on the futon in my PJ's and watch TV. Yup, thats it, I'm just lazy!
Today was a long day at work but I was working with friends so that was good. One thing that bugged me today was me trying to help this man. He had a huge basket of stuff that he was carrying around so I asked if he would like me to take it and put it behind the counter for him so he wouldn't have to carry it around, then getting him another basket for his stuff. He said no, I think its too heavy for you, dont worry about it. Ok so I may be a girl and I may be small but seriously this is not the first time that someone has told me to not help because something was too heavy. Would I offer if I didnt thik I could do it? Maybe I'm overreacting about it all but it frustrated me.
On another note my dad thinks I should just keep the phone that I got. I filed a complaint and so we'll see what happens. THe nice thing is if he doesnt respond then I get my money back, very cool. Also today I went to Sprint to get my new phone and new service plan and all that and they told me I was only eligible for $75 instead of the $150 I had been told I could get back. So I emailed again and got confirmation again so I guess I'll go back on Tuesday after work and see if I can get it all straightened out. I never realized that getting a new phone would be such an ordeal! Hopefully this next one will last longer or something....
