Friday was our first "Success Day." I was teamed up with Ms. Bryant to teach Critical Thinking and Writing to half of the 7th grade. It wasn't as bad as most of the teachers were making it out to be. Ms. Slater (who is about 6 feet tall and 300-400 pounds) is hilarious. A student (ESE kid) told her that she had "dirt under her titties." She replied ( Read more... )

Mr. Bellamy, my principal, is really starting to piss me off. I'm debating if I'm going to say something to him or not tomorrow about what he said this afternoon. I do like my job, I would hate to stick my foot in my mouth and mess things up. Although, I have a feeling that stupid, bitchy Ms. Carter-- his cousin-- has ran her mouth yet again about ( Read more... )

I didn't get to talk to Tameka much at all today. It's been soooo very busy. I did, however, manage to find the time to hear the funniest story of all time. Tameka says she was at her ex's house, walking into the appartment as her ex carried a bag of food in one had, beer in the other, and a bag of weed hanging from his mouth, when she heard a ( Read more... )

4:21 a.m. and I am still wide awake. I have an 11 o'clock interview in the morning, too! On the plus side, I managed to read a 365 page book this evening. I finished it around 3 a.m. Not too shabby, considering I didn't start it until 10 p.m ( Read more... )

I'm all for rain but when it rains so much that using an umbrella is futile I draw the line. In just a few minutes I managed to get so wet that even my underwear were soaked ( Read more... )
