Yesterday I had meetings all day and the kids had the day off of school. They were quite happy about this.
I think I actually enjoyed this day of meetings because... a) I actually had confidence. B) I learned stuff that will ACTUALLY help me out in my classes.
There was this one part when I asked a question. And to give context for the questions I mentioned that I teach middle school. The lady running that meeting chuckles and says, "There is a special place in heaven for middle school teachers." And you know, I never really know how to respond to that...
I like my job. I like the age of my kids. I REALLY like that I can be sarcastic.
Which.
Apparently in one of the meetings a highschool teacher said that the lady speaking said that the teacher should NEVER be sarcastic. I don't think that is even possible! I mean. Really. And honestly I am more facetious than sarcastic. But still. It's the middle school love language.
Seriously.
All middle school teachers know this.
I was at a meeting last year and the guy was all, "Elementary school teachers are all glitter and happiness. Middle school teachers are just balls of sarcasm. I can't remember what Highschool teachers are... But their's was accurate too.
Anywho.
Yesterday was good.
I was even in charge of one of the meetings! I EVEN SURVIVED THAT HARROWING ORDEAL!!!
Then my parent's took me to dinner and brought stuff and bookshelves. YAY! We had my favorite food! It was delicious and my favorite food at the moment. I can eat like EVERYTHING ON THE PLATE! AND IT IS A HUGE PLATE!
It's Thai Food. My favorite is Nam Sod. There is rice noodles, chicken, peanuts, ginger, apples, lime juice, and cilantro, and some other stuff. AND IT IS SO REFRESHING AND DELICIOUS.
I have to take my other book shelf to work. But I have two new bookshelves to replace it.
I am pretty excited! One shelf is going to be science resources, the other is going to be like... fiction books..
I should probably go do that before my date with my old lady friend! She is my lady at ballroom. And she doesn't have plans this weekend so I made some with her. She is just the sweetest old lady!
I will probably write more later.
