she's deciding to grow up, once and for all
The last week and a half has been something else. I'm getting to that point where I'm slowly becoming okay with not being the nice teacher who accommodates everyone. It's not my job to make sure every kid pass. It's my job to make sure they have the opportunity to pass. There's only so much I can do.

insert some witty title here
So I've fallen behind on my getyourwordsout word quota by about 2k. The first two days I was writing above the quota and then the holidays ended and suddenly it was back to work, back to figuring out how to make a decent living this year, back to meeting obligations, and back to feeling like vegging instead of working in my spare time.
