I forgot how tiring kids can be. Who knew that the Grade 1's would be better behaved than the grade 4 boys... And today wasn't even a full schedule!! I had 5 classes, meaning I had 3 breaks. BUT I was also the duty teacher and had to stand outside before school, after school, and during two of the "recess" periods (40 minutes total). Of course I was late this morning (wasn't aware I was supposed to be outside and not in my computer lab on the internet) and then I didn't see the kids climbing on the roof. Am I a failure? And this is just the second week....
But then my brilliant roommate Elaina came up with a monthly weekend travel plan including Kuwait, Jordan, and Beirut! So as I hide away in my computer lab with one class left today, I dream of travel, airplanes, and new adventures. And I have 14 weeks paid holidays a year...
Moral of the Story: 40 days without coffee are LONG friggin' days.
oh i hated duty! and to be the one at ALL breaks? that makes for a long day - i hear you! sorry, i haven't been reading - i've been ignoring my google reader for a week or so. great daily posts - i'll be back: loving it!
