BREEEAAAAAKKK TIIIIIIIMMMME! [23 Dec 2009|06:23pm] musiclovermc Cool. Made it to Christmas break. Let me say, the time has flown by at least three times as quickly as last year. The only thing I can really be upset about is the fact that my AP is putting letters into my file up the wazoo, and I think I have a right to be pissed. Otherwise, things have been okay. Still not sure whether I will continue teaching next year, or try to go to grad school to get a different degree, or work for TFA, or disappear to another country to do something fun. But I'm okay with not knowing. I dressed up as Hayley Williams today per request of my 7th graders. I love them, even in spite of (or maybe because of) the crazy. I have high hopes for my 8th graders. They sat silently for almost 2 periods today to take a Social Studies test and start working on their winter break homework packet, even amidst a few kids acting bananas. If I can turn them around like I turned around my other class, I really will be proud of myself and my teaching abilities and will most definitely keep teaching at that school. Big if though. Again, though, a big okay with not knowing. With life in general. I gotta be. It's my new motto. Seattle in two days. Woooooooot! 1 slaughtered cows

stuff [15 Dec 2009|06:35pm] musiclovermc Been bored lately. Lots of Buffy, Angel, and Firefly. 7th graders are adorable. Reading aloud, historical fiction, and literary essays going well. 8th graders are still crazy. Research papers not going well whatsoever. Thanksgiving was fun. TFA holiday party was not as fun as last year, but at least I looked super hot in my Barney's dress and Franco Sarto shoes. Observation went okay. Meeting with principal coming up. Field trips in the works. Trip to Seattle on Christmas through the 3rd. Dallas for Lisa's wedding the weekend of the 8th. Been lackluster on the working out lately. Huge paper to write by Thursday, and missing out on lots of sleep. Uugggghhhhhhhhhhh. slaughtered cows
