1) I used to love this show.
2) I have turned into Ratburn…
Last show ever of Desperate Housewives… Ladies, it’s been a good run. My Sunday nights are going to feel way weird now.
Sigh… I still have my “I’m a Bree” shirt and will always strive to be a sassy but classy redhead
I pulled those dance moves when the last EOG test was over… and I’m pretty sure those were the looks I got from my students and my principal.
This day in history
Well, in my history. This time last year, I was graduating from Wonderland. I was entering the real world and stressed about finding a teaching job. Today, I gave my first reading EOG to my own group of students. I was a serious basket case this morning, just because I was so nervous. However, while walking around, they looked like they were doing just fine. I also gave them each a lucky penny this morning before it began, and a lot of them had them sitting on their desk for the duration of the test. I even got hugs and thanks this afternoon for the little memento. Just gotta have faith!
“TRUE! nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am”
It’s true, I’m nervous. Also, I love the start of ‘The Tell-Tale Heart” and find it so appropriate for my situation at this moment. I am a nervous wreck. My first EOG is tomorrow, and I’m already judging myself for how well my kids will do. I, of course, have faith in them, but it’s having faith in myself that is the problem. Have I taught everything I could? Do they understand it? My prinicpal looked at me straight in the face at lunch and said “You know, there is nothing you can do about it now, so stop making yourself sick!” True, but I hope I did enough in the first place.
I made a little memento for them to hold on to during the test so they remember that 1) I have faith in them and 2) just for good luck. I’m giving them each a “lucky” penny, with a tag tapped to it, saying “A penny for your thoughts. Have brilliant ones today!”
I didn’t sleep at all last night, nor will I sleep tonight… Thus, beginning the week of no sleep! I probably won’t sleep until after I get their scores back THURSDAY. Keep me in mind, y’all.
Finally Friday
I started off my day by running late. Then, I get to school and realize that I have forgotten my copy card and key to my classroom. Also, running on NO sleep, because my mind would not switch to off last night. TGIF does not even describe how I feel about today.
Don’t mind my moaning and groaning, kids.
