Okay, so I just finished grading the final exam for the winter session of my class.  Fuckin' depressing.  So I ended up having one A, four Bs, four Cs one D, and four Fs and I still have one kid who has to take the test on Monday due to being ill.  I'm guessing she'll end up with a low B or a high C.  I'm so mad that four of them totally flunked.  ( Read more... )

Damnit, damnit ...why am I sick again?  I was feeling so much better and then Sunday I had a fever, I was hacking up my lungs all day, every single muscle was sore...like I'd been beaten with a baseball bat or something.  Then last night I spent a good thirty minutes puking my guts out.  The school counselor said that every new teacher spends a ( Read more... )

Today was long...I was subbing for the Spanish teacher and taught my class during his planning period.  It must be the weather but I swear I was bitching at somebody all day.  A kid would leave class to use the bathroom, get lost in some blackhole along the way...then I'd have to go find him/her and yell.  While I was gone to fetch the wanderer, ( Read more... )

First things first...it seems as if that damn Hawthorn Suites is FINALLY going to get our W-2s to us.  Christine was able to reach the man who was the GM, who is now GM at The Ambassador downtown, and he says the company mailed them out on Friday. I am hoping I will have it by the middle of this week so I can finally fucking do my taxes. GRRRRRRRR ( Read more... )

So I finally got the crud that has been making it's way through our school for the past two weeks.  I had a sore throat for two days and was hoping that it was only allergies. No such luck.  I'm not as sick as some have been, but I still feel rotten.  I went to bed at 9:30 last night because my head was pounding.   This morning I had to sub the ( Read more... )

No matter how much I  understand the concept of "you can't change other people" on a mental and psychological level, I have to admit that it is amazingly heartbreaking to watch someone you love chose to stay in an unhealthy relationship.  Unhealthy relationship is a kind and antiseptic way of referring to that lazy, controlling, trashy, cheatin' ( Read more... )

So I went to OKC this weekend to see my niece and my great nephew.  I can't believe that Aiden is 6 months old now.  He is just developing more personality every day.  He seems to love music; he really responds to any music.  He is also really watching people and reaching out for things and people.  The funniest part of the weekend was watching him ( Read more... )

I will be glad when this day is over. I\'ve been subbing for the art teacher all day and am exhausted. She has a lot of freshman in her class and they are wearing me out. I never realized the vast, vast difference between freshman and sophomores. It is a quantum leap in the maturity department. I can\'t wait to get out of here today. Not just ( Read more... )
