every range of emotion possible.

ok so i can't write too much because its 4 in the morning, and i need to quickly figure out just exactly what i am doing today. so yesterday was the first day and it was nuts to say the least. my first and second period classes were more or less out of control and did not listen to a word i said from the minute they walked in the door. third through seventh period were not nearly as bad but still seemed more or less uninterested in me in general. however, there were a few bright spots during the day. a couple of conversations with kids after class let me see that they really did want to learn despite their generally unpleasent demeanor in my class. one kid about made me cry because she was so sweet, shy, timid, and noticably scarred from the obvious effects of a rough life. this job is going to be tough. i can already see that after day one. i am nonetheless excited about going forward. just wanted to do a quick update. it will likely be awhile before i can get to another. life will be hectic starting right now. thanks for all the support. i hope all is well with everyone. peace.
