long time nothing posted....

it has been a long time that i have not posted a thing. lots of things have happened. i bought a house, got a roommate, and a dog, lost my job, got my job back, lost friends :(, made new ones :), fell in love with my godchildren all over again, got my masters...many things have happened....But its all good. How about everyone else?

Its not my nature!

people i have lost my voice for now 4 days!!!! can u imagine me not talking for 4 days?! Its not my nature. I need to talk, have human, verbal contact. im going crazy here. at least my students where good. they worked in their work book only talking to ask questions. i was very pleased.

I'm alive

so, im at work so i have about 6 minutes before my beloved 7th and 8th graders get here. In other words i'll make it fast and I'll make for it later :) My summer was a really interesting one...for those of you who do not know, i tore a muscle and fractured my elbow in june. Not to good since I was teaching summer school. It was quite crazy because I had to write on the board and it looked like a 5 year old was writing but it actually all turned out fine. My cousin and Sharon flew in on the same day and that was awsome, althought i didnt get to spend time with Sharon until she actually moved in with me. Oh dear!!! students!!!!!! write later this afternoon!!bye!!!!!

Last day of school...

so today was the last day of school for the students and every year it always surprises me just how much of an influence you as a teacher have on these kids. you would think that they would want to just leave your class and not look back but i had students stay with me today for the whole 6 hours they where in school!!! these kids look up to you and what you say and do plays a major part in their life although you do not realize it. My eighth graders hugged me...EACH and every one of them...some cried...others, who i became rather close to (i mentored some of these kids) broke down. The last day of school always serves as a reminder to me of why i do what i do, why i love to do it.
I invited 5 of my eighth graders to lunch today and we had Mc Donald's (in my classroom obviously). It was great to be able to sit with them and just have lunch and talk...they have such great ideas, dreams, goals, its refreshing to see that they are looking forward to move ahead in life and not just stay in the same old, same old.
i had a great last day with my students, i can sincerly say i will miss most of them (most, hint, hint).

in a slump!

i feel in a funk, in a slump, in the pits...whatever you want to call it...i should be very happy but im not...why? it doesn't make sense...im doing what i like and getting paid for it...i have great co-workers, im passing all my classes, ive got a house...what is wrong with me? I feel like im going deeper and deeper into a well and i can't get out...i try to stay the funny, crazy person that i always am but it concerned me today when the reading coach (my boss) said to me: "whats wrong? you have not been yourself lately." AWWWWWWWW!!!!

Avril said it best

Runaway

Got up on the wrong side of life today, yeah
Crash the car and I'm gonna be really late
My phone doesn't work cus it's out of range
Looks like it's just one of those kind of days
You can't kick me down I'm already on the ground
No you can't, but you couldn't catch me anyhow
Blue skies, but the sun isn't coming out, no
Today is like I'm under a heavy cloud
And I feel so aliveI can't help myself
Don't you realize

I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and run away,
yeahI just wanna fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and run away, yeah

So-so's how I'm doing, if you're wondering
I'm in a fight with the world but I'm winning
Stay there, come closer it's at your own risk
Yeah you know how it is life can be a bitch
And I feel so aliveI can't help myselfDon't you realize
Run away, run away


**Do you ever feel this way?**
