(no subject)
it looks like this tutoring job is in full effect! i'll just have to officially break up with eddie...again.
i also believe i will definitely be in state college on the weekend of november 5-6. solid.
yesterday, i was mildly disheartened after my supervisor observed me. he said i needed to be more direct with my discipline. anyone who knows me knows i am not a disciplinarian and i can really only think of a handful of people who have heard me yell. it's just not my style. i know directness and yelling don't necessarily correlate, but i felt like he was telling me to yell and get all up in a student's grill. where i had "exemplary" marks last observation, i only had "good" ones. i'm on the decline. in an act of defiance, i came home from school and took a two hour nap.
i'm over it. my teacher told me classroom management is an ongoing learning process...i believe it. i was just disappointed. but i don't think my kids are being bad (you should see them on a bad day) they just like to talk...loudly and a lot. sigh.
one of the interns in my school (with whom i had developed a bond) has quit. the students have made her leave the room crying for the last few days and today, she just quit. i quickly realized that things could be worse...and i was thankful that the students hadn't tried to make me cry...or maybe i just haven't noticed. but it's sad, yo.
TOMORROW
shauna, scottydon't, and carol are coming to hang out. yaaaaay!!!
and finally...one of my favorites...
Here you can be anything.
I think that scares you.
I've been here before but only by myself.
What giving up gives you and where giving up takes you.
I've had and I've been.
Here in center frame, there's only air.
Just enough space to fit.
I said it out loud over and over but what do I know?
I said it out loud but it did not help.
I'll stop now.
Just so I can hear you I stay up as late as it takes, as long as it takes.
I promised I'd see it again.
I promised I'd see this with you now.
