so i suppose here's the snapshot of my life since initiatives.....
i'm a teacher. holy freaking cow.....i'm a teacher.
block periods of high school algebra I, geometry, algebra II.....
middle school remedial algebra I, pre algebra, and advanced algebra I.......
it's incredible......it's such a blast to invest in these students.......it's so aggravating to watch them settle for less.......they take pride in testing me......they want to involve me in their drama....... they want me to hand them a passing grade for free........some days they "get it".....other days i think they get dumber by spending more time with me...
it's so hard. i am completely exhausted.
i was warned about this first year of teaching......i spend about 10 hours at school every day, only to come home to more grading and lesson planning. some days, i don't know what i'm teaching until 20 minutes before class starts. i don't know that i could have a slogan more true than "eat. sleep. teach." (except the sleeping part.)
but i am happy here. i couldn't live in a better place. i rent from friends who feed me, clean for me, entertain me, and grade homework for me. it just can't get any better.
this is good. this is so good.
