Let me tell you...it was a doozy. The highlight of my school days? The two days that some of my students from last year came to visit me. It warmed my heart.
Otherwise, it was a bit hellish. Hmm. Maybe I'm being dramatic.
Yes. Definitely being dramatic.
But I will give you an illustration of how annoying I'm finding it to manage my new class. On Wednesday, after stopping for the nth time to wait for them to be quiet since they didn't seem to care that I was speaking, I had the thought that I needed to get a stop watch. I would wear this stop watch around my neck so I could easily keep track of all of my time that they wasted. In turn, I would then waste their time. Yesterday I was lenient and let them work off their time before recess, but today I made them sit at their desks with their heads down for 8 minutes during recess because that's how much time they wasted this morning. And they already owe me 3 minutes on Monday. I really hope that they catch on soon that I mean business.
In the meantime, I had a lovely night. For dinner I ate some Jalapeno Cheetos, some fruit snacks, and some old chocolate chip cookies. And watched 4 episodes of Castle. Oops. I've found my new binge show. I should probably go to the grocery store and get some real food though.
