these kids are everywhere.

wuuuuutttt up?

so. it is sunday. can i just say that i love my weekends now?

on friday i had my midterm examination as a teacher.

yeah. it was some pretty big stuff. my exam occurred during my third period class, which is a smaller one, which makes me happy.

did i tell them before hand?

OH YES I DID.

no lie, as every kid walked in i said to them " not that you are ever a problem kid, but please, i'm being observed today, and if you could participate, that would be reallly awesome."

some kids were nice, others saw that as an opportunity for a free for all. great.

in general, they were nice kids though.

i will say that one of my favorite kids walked in with a "cara de trajedia" which means face of tragedy. i asked him what was wrong, and he informed me that someone had informed him how "of mice and men" had ended. poor thing. he was so upset.

is it wrong that it made me a little happy? not that he was upset. ok, maybe that he was a little upset. but also that he was so happy and involved in the book.

kids reading is awesome!

OH! funny story, today i was at breakfast, and lo and behold i run into a student. thankfully, it was a nice one that generally likes me.

you know what was really awesome, when he said " so this is awkward... huh?" and i replied "yes. yes it is."

but we hugged and i said bye, and i went to breakfast. i've got some good kids.

wednesday is TAKS. who is excited!!! me!!

so. i got busy.

as you very well may know. i havent updated this bad boy in a while.

normally, i would give you a daily play by play.. however.. i can't tell you what i've done since february ninth.

so ill just kind of update you a little bit.

were reading of mice and men!!! can you say most EXCELLENT book ever?

because it so is.

so. kids are getting involved. I'm starting to feel like im in freedom writers.... and what happens? A KID READS TO THE END OF THE BOOK.

now lemme tell you, if there was anyway i could get away with hitting someone in the face (and by someone i mean a student) because ... seriously? you're gonna read to the end.

and then, to top that off... the kid proceeds to tell someone in front of him... and in true highschool fashion, the girl in the front, ( in a very nasal, high, loud voice) GEORGE SHOOTS WHO?!?!

efffffff.

and then it spread to all the other classes, so now i just have pockets of kids in each class who are trying to BLACKMAIL me so that they dont have to do work.

granted, great idea.. but still

oh and lost can eff off too.

OH. i gave up cursing for lent. TERRIBLE idea.

k guys.

next week is the taks test so thankfully after that i won't have to be spitting taks things out of my mouth like a robot anymore!

can you say heck yea?!

my life be like ooooaa oooooaa

so.

a few things:

1. i really love that show called the buried life. if i could, i would be just like them. who doesn't want to do things that they always wanted to do in life?

2. my kids are apparently starting to like me a lot more. lets update you on some scenarios shall we?


so. i dont really remember wednesday or thursday, but i will tell you some funny stories from friday and today.


wait, are you wondering why im not talking about yesterday...
no worries. i dont have a time turner like hermione in harry potter. even though that would be freaking SWEET.

...jealous.

what was i talking about? ok. friday.

so, as i have been saying. i think my kids like me a lot better.
HOWEVER, as i was walking to my car after a long day of teaching, one of my kids yells out, "now don't get too wasted tonight miisss"

my.jaw.dropped. have you ever seen those cartoons where the jaw drops to the floor? thats what happened to mine

and what was my response?

"i'm a lady."

...how is that a response at all?
did i deny anything at all?
no.

can you say fail?

lets just say my face got bright red (im talking tomato here) and i walked to my car in shame.


toooooday was pretty good.

however, eighth period came around.

so all my teachers do this thing where they say " clap twice if you can hear me" and everyone shuts up and claps twice and all is good in the world.

lets put ourselves in that situation shall we?

the class is gettin crunk, and everyone is way too loud.
i try and combat it with the phrase " clap twice if you can hear me"

oh. and here is the kicker.

one girl claps. ONCE. and looks around, realizes that noone else is clapping and stops.

can you say fail?

i swear i could hear crickets. oh what has become of my life.

i cant even get my kids to clap.

so this one time.. i was teaching.. and an officer came in.

so.

lets talk about this, shall we?

yesterday was the first day that i taught all of my lessons which i prepared all on my own. so. no big deal there.

so. everythings going great, kids are learning, and they are learning about the great depression... and writing about pictures, and everything is great. (picture a great classroom, everyone is learning. think tank. awesome. any other amazing words you wanna throw in, you can.)

then BAM.

a kid walks into my classroom, and yells "miss, its smells like marijuana up in hurrrr."

and i was like. " ok. well sit down. because we have stuff to do."

so, my teacher leaves because he said he forgot to give another teacher something.

so here i am alone in a classroom which apparently smells like pot, teaching kids who are kinda out of it and hyped up off of sugar from lunch. (ideal situation right?) (HELL NAAAAAWWWW)

.... i talk like my kids now.

the change has begun....

anyways. so. kids are learning, im talking, and a lady comes in the room and asks where my teacher is.

i'm all " well he left to go give another teacher something, so i'm pretty sure he'll be right back"

buuut, she stayed in the class, and walked around.

... sniffing.

then she left and radioed and SRO (school po po.)

they walked in and sniffed around.

(apparently, people can also be drug dogs. i had no idea about this.)

OH. in case you were wondering. I'M STILL TEACHING.

so. some girl gets pulled out of class. because she be on that ganja.

and i was also informed to watch the girls around her, because drugs may gave been passed on.

so. this was all on the same day as me trying to teach my lessons.

just a day in the life. of me. teaching.

and in case anyone is wondering about how their classes are harder... well they arent.

i had a drug bust in mine. SO. is that a trump card? yes.

today was ok. i was mostly tired.

I'll update soon.
