Long time coming
So, it's been a while since I have posted. Life seems to be so busy out here in Vegas. The first quarter just ended at school, so now I have to get my grades posted by 10am tomorrow, hopefully there will be time during the inservice....I only have like 150 or so grades that need to be posted. I'm a bit disillusioned...there are a lot more kids failing my class than I would like. Of course, that's a huge problem here. Kids really don't want to be in school and most don't take it very seriously. I guess I'll just have to get used to that.
The boys soccer season just ended. Yeah, it's over. I'm excited that it's over just because I was tired of all the bullshit that I had to put up with with them. We did alright overall, but there were days when I just wanted to walk away from it. There are some players who are great kids, but it's the ones who were jerks who made it difficult to put up with. Now they'll start slowly dropping their uniforms off with me. Not that I have any place to put them, guess I'll have to find room. Now it's time for the girls to start. They have intermurals for the next two weeks, and then we have tryouts. I think we're going to be making a lot of cuts. There were like 65 girls who came to the informational meeting, and I think both the jv and varsity teams are goiing to carry 18 girls, so that's like half of them needing to be cut.
Another birthday has passed, and it kinda sucked. I didn't feel real well that day for some reason. The kids decided they were going to be difficult, the soccer players didn't want to listen to anything I said. So I basically blew off my plans and went home after practice. That's when J called me and was a bit pissed that I hadn't called after practice because we were supposed to do something. I just couldn't deal with doing anything that night. Thursday was a bit better of a day. Friday it was nice to not have school...Nevada Day so schools were closed.
Last night I went down to the strip for the first time really. Becky called because she was bored, so we decided to head to the strip since I hadn't been there yet really. We started at the Wynn on their patio bar. They have a really cool waterfall out there. Every half hour there's a show that takes place....it was definately very wierd. Then we walked for a bit, went through the Venitian and then into Harrah's, where we ate dinner at 11pm. That was diefinately odd because we're both used to being in bed by that time. Today I was useless, which means lesson planning will have to take place sometime tomorrow.
On another note, my roommate is going to get rid of popcorn, the cat who decided to pee on my airmattress when I first arrived. He has been peeing on her bed lately, and has even peed on her while she was in bed. Today, he was about to pee on her while she was on the couch. I have no idea what is up with that cat. She's going to bring him to the no-kill shelter. I know she feels guilty about it, but we have no idea why he's doing it, and it's just gotten out of control.
Well, time for me to be moving on to other things....this is a long post. I should get better about updating it more often.
