Such a Tragedy

Well, right after I wrote the previous post I went to class, grumpy. Who should be there, but my Principal and the HR rep again...great...they were supposed to warn me. Oh well, I spent hours yesterday on my lesson...it was alright, better than sometimes. However, I was having "a day" so I was shocked into having to be able to perform better. It went alright. I said a lot of dumb things and I think I was jittery from anxiety (X2 since they showed up too) and caffeine. I wasn't great, but the kids were. They were so cute. They were helping me out, rephrasing things for me, participating a lot. Patty came and talked to me at lunch briefly, telling me that we'll have our post conference later, but they're transferring my contract. So, it's over! Even though it wasn't wonderful today, they're transferring me to full-contract and i don't have to keep up that anxiety of them possibly dropping by!

In other news, I'm exhausted and having teacher's block. I worked for hours tonight and got nowhere with my lessons and I've got to teach tomorrow!! I had a schedule how to get everything done this week and I'm already off...blech.

Good news, I'm going to the wedding. That means I have to work harder this week, and it'll be nuts, but I needed and adventure and here it is. Come Friday I'm gonna have to morph into travel mode: pack, make myself look presentable, fly to Santa Barbara, find my way to where a friend is staying, and then find my way around! I am happy I get to go though, despite all the work it will be. That made my day instantly better.

My day got very sad again though when Evan asked me if I heard about the shooting. I've just been looking at information about it and it just makes me so sad. I can't believe being one of those students whose friends were shot in the Virginia Tech Massacre. I am praying for those students and their families. Such a Tragedy.

Reflection: blech, but I get to go to the wedding.
