fight! fight! fight!
well, it's official, I just broke up my first fight. two black girls that hate each other just went at it in my fifth period. they came really close to fighting back in January and I stopped it, but this time they threw down; I got a slight glancing blow to the face, and a bunch of pen marks on my arm from the pen that one was wielding toward the other in a stabbing motion. they're both still in the office right now, I dunno yet what's gonna happen. all in all, it was pretty exhilarating, I feel like a "real" teacher now.
