I won't concern you with the details of the first day.  Suffice it to say that it just sucked.  Altogether:  SUCKED.  That's really all I need to say to convey my feelings on the first day, but I'll elaborate slightly.

1. When I got to school I had a roster of 27 kids.  That is NOT cool.  At all.  There were a couple of kids floating around and no ( Read more... )

If I had this "first day experience" last year, I might not be returning for a second year.

So look at the time.  And look ata the date.  And think.  Yes, this is it.  This is technically the first day of school.  **DING DING DING** it's time to start round two!!

Today went smoothly and is thankfully over.  Phase One complete.  After tossing and turning all night I got up and was at school by 8:30 (even though we didn't have to be there ( Read more... )

Sunday was such a waste.  Meaning:  I got up, did nothing, watched a movie, did nothing, TOOK A NAP (who does that???), drove to Union to drop off le Mazda, watched another movie with Benny, and then came back home ( Read more... )

Every night the past week I have been at Pleasant View working in my room. In a perfect world I would go to school at 8:00 and leave at 3:30, after an hour-hour and a half lunch break. In all actuality, I've been hitting the school at 8:00 and not making it back home until anywhere between 6 and 8! Why do I do this to myself? I dunno. Nana has ( Read more... )

It's official....I am no longer "disabled."  As of today, August 1, 2006, I am once again a full-time employee of Laurens County School District 55.  Professional Development Days (fancy title for TEACHER WORK DAY) started today.  It's basically BS.  We have time to work in our rooms and are constantly interrupted and bored by "getting business out ( Read more... )

So when I got Tang I asked when he needed to have his next round of shots.  She told me he was due in two weeks.  I got him TWO Thursdays ago.  Exactly.  So today I took Tang to the vet.  I HATE going there . . . I always have to wait SO long.  So I got there 13 minutes early.  They actually got me in there, checked his weight and got a fecal ( Read more... )

Would you believe it if I said that, after everything last year . . . I am sans an assistant at the moment?  Yup, it's true.  Ms. Thomas apparently called Mr. Adams recently and told him that she had another job.  Which means she won't be joining us this year.  WTF?  Why this again?  I mean, that was the main cause of my stress last year . . . the ( Read more... )

I made it through Susie's trip to Atlanta.  I ended up opting out of Union and Columbia to spend time alone with PipNo.  I did read, a little.  Mostly I watched a LOT of TV.  I mean, a disgusting amount.  It was my goal to watch Season One of both Grey's Anatomy and House.  Grey's was no problem . . . it was only a few episodes.  House, on the ( Read more... )

I haven't been keeping up with my LJ duties lately for reasons unknown.  I guess I can go back to Thursday ( Read more... )
