I've got the laptop positioned on my chest so I can try to see the letters I type. It's not fun when you can't find your glasses and it's too late to put the contacts back in. I'll just pour my heart out I suppose.
The security guard at my school I speak with regularly has had two dozen low paying jobs around the county. He claims to be averaging an hour of sleep a night and the dark circles make me think he's telling the truth. What can I learn from him? He's got a tough job and it takes three menial jobs just to make it in today.
I heard about some of his previous jobs and I thought he could write an expose of some his exploits. "Nah, too boring."
I suppose that's subjective. Oh well.

One of my students was selected for a great honor and will be going to DC to receive the award. I hope I challenged her a tiny bit this year.

I got another email excuse from the same predictable student.
At least they care enough to write an email sometimes. It's the ones who dont care at all that depress you.

The heliocopter has been circling a few miles south all night. Students come from there. Then they go home there.

I had a student suck a lollypop and look at me and play around nearly all period. I suppose the work isn't very challenging but I've got kids in that period struggling with GERMANY WAS A DEMOCRACY. RUSSIA WAS COMMUNIST. LIFE IN THE 1920s WAS HARD.
Time to Review:
What was Germany? ________
"This is too hard!"

I had a student come back from the alternative ed school (for bad kids), He said it's full of gangs and the teachers don't do anything. Pure baby-sitting. Pathetic.

We discussed T. Schiavo. A moving testamonial to a lost loved-one was given yesterday. I won't soon forget it. Dont forget how hard this is on the parents.
