Ok people...I just need to vent these frustrations:
1. My computer is broken. Yes, broken. It will not even turn on. So, we have to share...YUCK!! We are so spoiled by each having a laptop...this sharing thing is tough.
2. Test scores. If you are a teacher, you feel my pain. Here's hoping that MAJOR changes are made to NCLB.
3. Election nonsense. Don't get me wrong, I love the election coverage...I am just tired of the NONSENSE/name calling/lies, etc.
4. Being old. Yeah, yeah, I am not THAT old, but hear this story: Today our principal made an announcement to remember September 11, 2001. Then, he so kindly stated that "our seniors were in 5th grade and our freshmen were in 2nd grade when it happened." I was like, "Oh Lord...I was a FRESHMAN IN COLLEGE!!" What's weird about teaching (especially high school) is that you feel like you stay the same, but every year the gap gets greater between you and the kids. It's WEIRD. Joi-I'm sure you get what I mean.
5. Headaches. For those of you who do not know, my neurologist is trying to wean me off of my seizure medicine. I have been on this medication since I was 12, and at first, it was very scary. I was constantly worried I would have a seizure. But (knock on wood) after a year or so, we are ALMOST down to nothing and all is well. However, I have been having lots of headaches again so I think I will have to go see him again for that. So, hopefully we can figure something out because most migraine meds. don't agree with me.
Ok, I am all done venting! I feel better now that it is all out in the open! Happy Friday!

I hope your headaches disappear soon!!! And I'm in the same boat as you about my computer. It crashed and the only thing I can use it for is to access the internet. So frustrating!
Oh I understand you about feeling old. I've always looked younger than my age--no biggie most young teachers do. But, the other day one of my girl students goes, "Mrs. Svezia, guess how old Brian thought you were?"
I'm guessing--oh--probably about 21-22 like most people.
Well, nope not even close! She goes on to say, "He thought you were 32!!!!"
Great,just great. I knew I'd never look my age! ;-)
