Life Goes On

Well, once again it's been quite some time since my last post.

I have been very busy, and stressed. I haven't been spending time with friends much, other than BINGO and spaghetti (which I missed today - grr arg).

Life has accumulated in a precarious effusion of experiences through gritted teeth.

Translation - I've been living day-to-day just getting by, and it sucks.

I'm enjoying the little things that come with teaching, but in general (in public schools) it sucks for me. I don't like CATS (yearly testing), open responses (part of CATS practice), grade hungry students who don't care if they learn, etc.

I really like my students and all, but each day I think I'm making progress with the non-teaching, administrative part of teachering, yet to my not-so-great surprise more things get thrown to me.

I'm just bitching because my cooperating teacher is out sick this whole week and I have very little support for my classes, and on top of that I'm taking care of her class where I'm not sure what I'm doing.

So life with me is great! I just got finished with the most unemotional Sr. retreat I been involved with. That's not bad; that's a good thing in many ways. My group was very receptive the whole time. One girl was questionable, but she never caused trouble. All in all, it was a good time; we did what God wanted done. Now, it's up to Him to work on the hearts of all of us.

Thoughts for today: If at first you don't succeed, beat them over the head.
When life hands you lemons, do a litmus paper test to see how acidic they are.
Who ever said blondes have more fun really knew their shit (right Sends?).

Feelings today: Apprehensive, Uncertain, and Longing (for you)
