- Left for work on time for the first time in weeks.
- Was still late for work because the traffic light God's are out to get me.
- Ate my lunch in the McDonald's parking lot because I needed to escape my school but I wanted to use the Internet.
- Got 2 cream cheese brownies at Kneader's drive-thru and ate them both before I got back to work.
- Drank diet coke. (Yeah, I'm pregnant and have soda sometimes. Go ahead. Judge me).
- Stood in shock when only 2 of my 18 language arts students turned in their 300 point project that they had 2 weeks to complete.
- Cried at my desk during one of the passing periods.
- Threatened to quit. Only to myself though.
- Thought it was Thursday. It isn't Thursday.
- Made a big deal about my nephew's birthday. But his birthday is Thursday. Today isn't Thursday.
- Had a really funny group text message convo with all of my sibling-in-laws that started with them making fun of me for thinking it was Thursday, and then turned into pictures of the moon.
- Asked this question 900 times: What are the 3 phases of matter?
- Was met by blank stares 901 times.
- Cried in the bathroom. I only felt slightly pathetic.
- Felt super sick to my stomach after eating two cream cheese brownies.
- Kept combining the words "iPod" and "iPhone" when talking about a writing prompt my kids were to respond to about technology in the classroom. I kept say "iPhod." At least it wasn't "iPood."
- Thought my mic system in my classroom was broken for the entire morning. Turns out I never turned it on.
Just keep swimming, right?
RIGHT?!?!
Right.
ps. Hope this blog doesn't scare potential resource teachers away from the job. Because it isn't always like this. Just read back to my job last year. I loved it more than anything.
I'm sorry you're having a hard time with work, although I have to admit, I'm glad to read that someone else's work makes them cry sometimes too. I guess if our first jobs were perfect, we'd be screwed the rest of our lives! Love ya girl!
