May 11 - School

I can't help it. I'm mad. The day just started off bad and then it just continued to get worse from there. Why does it seem that when the day starts off bad that it just continues to go bad? Is it Karma? I wish that I knew.

The day first started off with coming to work and finding out that I am supposed to be a tester for the EOC (End of Course) Exams. Okay - that's not too bad - honestly - it's just that none of my kids have to take the EOC tests this year and because they don't have to take them, I should be with my students - right? I would think so. Anyway, I also had an ARD (Admission Review Dismissal) Meeting (for Special Education) at nine o'clock. That means that I've only had a few of minutes in the EOC class before I had to leave to go to the meeting - so someone had to cover for me in the EOC class.

So, I had to talk with administrators to find out when I was supposed to do. My boss - told me to go to the ARD. The Testing Administrator was like - well, what the hell am I supposed to do? I didn't know what to tell her so, I went to go set up for the thing and then get ready for someone to take over the class for me. So, I was already a bit irritated because of the quick switcheroo that was done just this morning. I didn't know that I was going to test until this morning.

I go to the ARD meeting and we discuss the newest student into the SPED at Killeen High. That was all well and good, but then I had to go back to the EOC class to continue testing. So, I do.

Now... I come back to my class still a bit miffed over all of this going on. It seems that it doesn't really matter how the teachers feel - and it also doesn't matter that the rest of the peopled don't actually communicate with others up here at the school. That's what's really frustrating. No one told me before that I would be testing and no one else really cared to even think that I would be having ARD meetings because I'm a special education teacher. Interesting.

So...

I go to eat lunch now and then remember that I have another ARD meeting right AFTER my conference period. So, I get to miss another class. YAY... right? Wrong. My classes need to be working on their final and when I'm not in class they aren't really working on their final. AUGH.

Frustrating.

Oh and then tonight, I get to go to a band thing where I'll have to meet people at the door and be nice to them. I don't want to be nice right now. I want to scream and hit something really really hard.

I'm to the point where I am almost done with everything and that's really not a good feeling.

Days from hell are just really annoying, you know?

Sighs.

Days from hell.

May 10: Things

I know that it's been a long time since I've made a post on my blogger: four months to be exact. It's been a very busy time here.

Between work and dealing with the family comings and goings, I'm exhausted. I mean, I have worked on a lot of things over the last couple of months. I've done so many audios that it's not funny.

I believe that I've completed four FATHER BROWN audios for CRT - yes, four. Two of them were new audios that still need to be completed and then Jerry wanted me to redo two of the previous audios.

Recently, I went straight into PERRY MASON. I've done one: (not completed yet) The Case of the Lucky Legs. It's a good story. I'm about to go into another one called: The Case of the Curious Bride. I think that it's a better story than the first one that I did. :)

Between the audios and working at school - my back giving me fits and issues and being at least sick four times thanks to allergies and the damn mess... I guess that I'm doing pretty good.

We recently got a new mattress and I've been having some issues getting used to it. It just doesn't have the same feel as the other one, but you know how that is.

I do hope that school winds down pretty uneventfully. I hope that the kids don't act too wild. It seems that they are being pretty good so far. Only 18 more days to go.
