just realized i haven't updated in awhile. i've been keeping pretty busy. as i said last post i work pretty much non-stop. i'm starting to realize that is just part of the real world though. i've had it much too easy my entire life, and in the real world you actually have to do stuff. doing stuff is hard. thefore this job is hard. but it definitely has its good spots. for example... i have decided that i will have four day weekend every weekend. this is why... my first two thursdays were really good days. i realized that both days i wore by orange and blue auburn tie. therefore i will now wear my orange and blue auburn tie every thursday, and every thursday will be auburn tie thursday. this means it doesn't matter how bad the day goes in class, that is trumped by the fact that it is auburn tie thursday. and then friday CANNOT be bad because it is friday and i get a break the next day. so there it is... four day weekend every week. oh yeah, i got my laptop stolen out of my classrom last monday (while i was in the room.) i turned my back for like two minutes and it was gone. i didn't realize it til the next class period though so by that time it was too late. so that sucked. i'm still somehow holding out hope that it will show up even though i know its gone. it was pretty sad because there are some files and things that i really cannot replace that were on that laptop. but i'm just going forward without the laptop. our football team is now 1-1. we lost the state championship rematch which sucked. we were down by 20 at halftime and made an awesome comeback only to end up loosing by two points. auburn looks pretty good to me so far this season by the way. i'm not getting too excited yet though. this job will continue to be hard and be a struggle but each day i will try to do everything i can to move my kids forward, even when they absolutely despise me (which it often seems like they do). that is all i can do, and that is all i will continue to do. there are lots of days that i really do look forward to going to school, not every single day by a longshot, but many days i do. even when after my last class i cannot imagine returning the next day, i do. its not near as hard as i want to think that it is. at the end of the day i'm just dealing with some kids that sometimes make me feel bad about myself. life is good despite the struggles. life is good. hope everyone is doing well. peace.
