(no subject)
I should really write in this thingie more often... but whenever I get home from work, my brain is so exhausted that I don't really want to use it in any way productive.
Work has been super busy, but I suppose that's the life of a teacher ... BUSY! All the time with the grading, and the conferencing, and the meetings, and the trainings, and the rushrushrush of it all. Sometimes I wonder if teaching is really my thing. I think I'm still trying to figure that out. Maybe teaching Middle School just isn't my thing, they need too much coddling. Most of them are absolutely wonderful, so wonderful that I want to eat them with a spoon! Today, I had a girl that was out for a couple of days sick and then out again today for a field trip. She stopped by after school to give me a giggling purple ladybug that she had got on her field trip! She's soooo adorable, this is also the same girl that MUST hug me every time she sees me ... she'll run from across the courtyard, shouting my name so I will stop. Then there's another student that is such a darling. She invited me to see her Christmas choir performance at her church tonight. I'm so excited! Jimmy's coming with me ... I hear that this play is a HUGE deal in the area. SO, a few handfuls of students are why I do enjoy teaching. They really are my "kids." Others now, well, they can just go away. HA!
I'm looking forward to this weekend, it seriously can't come soon enough. I feel so beaten by this week (that is another good thing about teaching), it flew by so very fast. Last weekend, Jimmy and I got our early Christmas gifts - Disney annual passes ... seriously now, I've lived in this gawdawful city for 5 years, I think they'll be put to good use. We went to Epcot and had some tasty sushi in Japan. This weekend, we're hitting up MGM. woot. Hooray weekend. I still need to figure out a way to balance my week so I don't get stuck with school crap on Sunday. VIVA LA SUNDAY RECLAIMATION! I'm tired, so I'm a little off..........................
Things to look forward to:
Christmas with Dad in Oregon ^_^
Roadtrip with Jimmy to the Rock (HOME!) in Spring <3
///notice how these things are during school breaks!\\\
