Fresh

That is something I very likely will NOT be tomorrow when I attempt to rise and shine at 6am for the first time in more than 2 months.  I caved and went in one day last week to get my furniture into position, but only because I can’t stay late and deal with it tomorrow. 
I [...]

Wrapping it up.

I was ready to be done yesterday. 
It’s been an odd year, the biggest highs and lows of my entire life:
I got engaged.
One of my closest friends, who was to be a bridesmaid in my wedding, was murdered.  Her funeral was the day that was planned to be my wedding shower that she was hosting with my [...]

Finito.

I never post here anymore, and I’m sure most people don’t even check it anymore.  I’ve been crazy busy with all the things happening, some great, some stressful etc.  Today I lost a life-long friend under tragic circumstances, and I do not think I’ll be writing anything else for quite some time, educational or otherwise.  I [...]

Highlights

I have no time!
Entertaining tidbits from last week:
One of my students from last year seems to be in the hallways near my room all the time this year.  It’s odd since the 8th grade classrooms are all the way at the other end of the building, but whatever, he misses us.  The other day I [...]

I am just now realizing that ‘Dynamite’ from the last post is the same student I called ‘Unstable Mable’ a few posts ago.  I think we’ll stick with Dynamite because, well, ‘unstable’ doesn’t even begin to describe her…

Short Week. Short Posts.

These super wonky weeks are strange.  Weekend.  Pointless one day of school.  Essentially another weekend.  Two days of school.  Weekend. 
I’m not complaining really, but it is nicer when the holiday falls on either a Monday/Tuesday or a Thursday/Friday.
I have no idea what I am doing tomorrow.  I know I have plans, I remember making the [...]
