Workity work
Well, I am slowly working on finishing up the last of te recap of my year of near silence, but I got to some tricky stuff that is upsetting to think about, so it's slowing me down. However, I am a trooper, an I will eventually get it all out.
Work is....going okay. I am struggling a little bit with some of my classes, trying to get them to learn. You can't force that, of course. Students will do what they do, nothing much you can do there. I can, in theory, kick out trouble makers, but they don't listen to me when I tell them to go, and I can't physically move them so there are some issues. Most of the time, though, things go pretty okay. I think I'm doing okay? I hope I am! I just want to be able to keep this job. That is my only goal, to educate the students and keep their grades up to a point where I can keep my job! That sounds very mercenary of me, but I like this job and this school and I would really like to stay here next year.
So yeah. This job has more down time (for things like grading papers and planning and such), but it's still not super easy. I am sure once I get the hang of things, it will be better as well! And it's certainly not bad! I just want to do my best. Really. And that can be stressful too.
In happier news: I had an awesome birthday! The boy made me a Sailor Starlight (he bought us a binary star set, aka two stars that orbit each other in the sky--our stars are in the constellation of Taurus!) for my birthday, and at my party I was given many books (yay reading!!), some delightful LUSH presents, chocolates and coffee and some other delightful stuff! I was pleasantly surprised--I don't invite people to birthday parties for presents, but I'm not going to lie--I do love them! XD It was a really good birthday, an I am really thankful for such awesome friends.
I went shopping before my party, to hopefully buy a Vivienne Westwood orb necklace....ended up getting NOTHING and buying a Gramm dress instead. It's a halter top styled dress and super fun to wear! Very short on me, so I wear shorts under it. I later found a H.jelly dress online that I am going to pick up this weekend--summer goth/punk style is coming. XD because that is how I roll, apparently.
Well, that's all from me. This weekend is some fun rp time over the Internet with college buddies, next weekend is a magical adventure to Costco and giant burgers with that guy I live with, and after that is a Disney weekend.
Ahh, so busy! And I still have several boxes to unpack!
