It's all good...

yesterday went fine. Thank god. The kids were good, for the most part, and the day went without a hitch. Today we venture on down to the downtown library and then we come back for our first Japanese lessons. That should be a lot of fun. So all in all it's an easy day. My mentor teacher is teaching less and less, so I'm enjoying doing more and more.

On another note, My bf is coming down this weekend. It won't be all that romantic of a Valentine's weekend being at my parent's house and all, but it'll still be fun. We're going to go to a couple movies and he's going to cook my family dinner... he's an awesome cook so that'll be a great meal! I hate this long distance thing. It sucks, but it's only 2.5 more months. We can do it.

I've been trying to decide where I would like to get a teaching job and nothing appeals to me. I'm a big chicken when it comes to change. Laramie was a big change, but I ended up loving it. I'm also a chicken to move too far away from home. Josh and I are planning on moving somewhere together, but who knows if that'll last. I hate having to think that way, but that's realistic. I don't want to move too far away incase we end up not being together anymore. Real life sucks. I can forsee us being together for a really long time. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens....

Worst day ever...

Last friday was the worst day. I had a complete breakdown at school because the kids were being so rude and disrespectful to me and their classmates. I was so frustrated that I finally just broke. It was awful. I had to face down my four worst boys and it was a huge ordeal. I just was so glad the day was over. The pricipal offered to let me go home early, but I needed to go back to the room and finish the day. I just needed to vent and then I was fine. The principal thought that I was going to not come back and teach because of all this. I'm made of stronger stuff than that....

Ucky...

I feel crappy today. My throat is sore and I just feel achey. I sure hope I feel better tomorrow. I am supposed to go to Laramie this weekend and I'm really looking forward to it, but I don't want to get my bf sick. I guess I'll have to wait and see how I feel tomorrow....

Sigh...

I hate being the mean teacher. The kids don't listen to me and don't respect me. When I try to punish them for being bad they hate me afterwards. It's just so hard when my mentor teacher and I have two totally different styles of teaching. She doesn't expect them to be quiet and when they waste time, she doesn't seem to mind. It's just frustrating....
