In the Span of this week...

1. I have learned that one of my students wants out of my program. We meet next week.

2. I learned that another student's parent is going to jail for 3 years. No wonder the kid has been a handful.

3. I learned that another student has been completely overwhelmed by his work but didn't tell me until today.

4. I have learned that I still need to figure out some of my co-workers at work.

5. I learned that having an aide can prove to be like having another student.

6. I have learned that my stress level is lower when I walk Jay longer than usual.

7. I learned that I should just stay away from the pet store so I don't spend so much money on the pup!

8. I stood up for a kid that my boss didn't want to test. I am treading lightly, but doing what is best for the student.

9. I am tired of kids doing what is wrong and me having to ALWAYS get onto them. I wish they would CHOOSE to do what's right the first time.

10. I have gotten to sleep until 7 everyday this week! Woop!

11. I have gotten to enjoy the sunset a couple times this week. Beautiful stuff. Especially on a lake.

12. I walked into a classroom yesterday as Mr. Z. was "talking" to his class as Mr. C. often did to his class, and I felt a litttle bit at home.

13. I had a student steal in the cafeteria and hide that fact from me. Hum...

14. I have connected with God on some deep levels, and am ready to crash now.

Life.
Is.
Good.
