Optimism

I just woke up from a three hour long nap. Now I have to do my homework, so this will be really brief. Stop doing the Snoopy dance!!!!!

With the exception of having three insane kids that I've had before, who now as seniors still show no sign of maturity, I think this is going to be another good year. Last year was awesome, btw.

I have been blessed with students who already display an eagerness to learn and think. Overall, they were very sweet today. It makes my job much easier when the students are so nice. Let's put it this way, one of my former students was banned from Disney forever for saying he had a bomb while he was entering Disney during his senior trip. Nice. Also on that same trip from the same period class were girls who got caught shoplifting at a Disney store, and then there are the issues of drugs and drinking....I've had some winners. Yet, I am still much more blessed than a lot of teachers. So I try not to complain.

So, I am looking forward to this year with a bit of optimism. I still have to deal with my newspaper issues. I'm not really stressed about it anymore. I have the support of my administration. Besides, after working with the subject of the issue a little bit, I've realized it's not me.

Now, to get to work. Have a happy Friday, everyone!

PS...You know your career has hit bottom when you are on Celebrity Duets. Wynona is doing a duet with Hal Sparks. It can only get worse! Well, and laughingly entertaining.
