every little thing that you say or do

thus begins madonna's new song, "hung up" which includes the immortal line, "I'm fed up, I'm tired of waiting on you," and has absolutely ZERO to do with my blog, my job, or anything except the fact that I'm listening to it to pump me up for my super day of observations plus PT conferences tomorrow! And when that marathon ends, I will have the luxury of a boyfriend in the same city as me (yay!) and the weekend, at last. Because I now have no idea whether my principal et al are coming to my room period 8 or any of my other classes, I will have to plan three superduper lessons, which is obviously a huge pain in the arse. But on the other hand, it gives me a chance to show off a little-- whereas with my last observation, I just wanted an activity which would get them out of my hair, this time I want to do something that showcases my understanding and knowledge of literature beyond the theme, character, setting bullshit that everyone else does...

today was somewhat better. Even though my frosh are still a pain, they have really been doing a lot of work and the simplicity and ease of the assignments I've been giving them is incredibly helpful in terms of keeping them on track... Once again, I found all my kids more charming than anything else...although they continue to push my buttons and get my nerves. I have to figure out something for them for the last ten minutes of class, because they're getting totally nuts on me (pencils flew through the air today!)....

that's all for now (yo).
