So the holiday weekend has nearly come to a close and already I'm counting the three long weeks until Christmas Break. To be honest, it doesn't seem like it will come soon enough ( Read more... )

So tomorrow I have my first FORMAL observation. You know, the one they could use to back up all those horrible things the principal said to me. Last week the kids were horrible. It felt as though we were back at square one all over again. I'm pretty much a nervous wreck. All three of the 4th grade teachers that have to do the FPMS (the ( Read more... )

So I've been sleeping a LOT lately. At first maybe I thought it was from the depression of my job but really....I think I'm just truely that exhausted. I go to bed anywhere between 8 and 9...and don't wake up until after 5 the next morning. That's fine and dandy except sometimes I just want a nap and I don't even hear the alarm.

blah.
Blah.
BLAH.

Hmm...i'm so glad the weekend is here. The middle of my week was real rocky but the rest has been a total breeze (comparatively speaking). I'm exhausted and my WHOLE body is sore from footing it around this huge school and of course teaching. I never sit down ( Read more... )

So today there was nearly a fight in my room. I got in the middle of it and broke it up before the kid took a swing but it pissed me off. Fucking kids jump off the deep end over nothing. Issues man, issues ( Read more... )

My new class wears me out.

I have no fucking clue whats happening in this school.

ISS sucks....whether kids are in it or we're watching it.

God I'm tired.

The end.
