it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
I apologize for the lack of posting. Life has been hectic and weird. School is almost out, so right now is kind of like a weird maelstrom before the calm. We may all survive. Maybe. I had a two-mom-in-two-day showdown last week. And the Main Mom has been nitpicking me ever since. But I'm at the point where I just couldn't care less. That's probably not a good thing. I'm just so tired of her that not caring has become the preferable option to telling her exactly what I think. The downsides of teaching can be exponential in some circumstances. Good thing the upsides are almost always exponential.
In other news, my brother left for boot camp this morning. I miss him already. Seven months without my brother will be a very weird experience. Sigh. Keep him in your prayers if you could.
Well, that's about all I have at the moment. I will renew my posting vigour when school is finally out. And I've caught up on nine months of sleep. haha

Man, teaching... I hate to say it, but after having taught every level but high school to some extent, I'm done. Forever. I'll never teach again. It's kind of sad how I'm more willing to go $40K it up for some crappy low-cap firm than teach again. I really disliked it that much.
I feel like that's more of an issue with my patience and the teaching situations I've had thus far than the profession itself, but still... I salute your willingness to put up with the parents and students.
Quick note: They're just as bad at the universities. In fact, my undergrads were worse than my middle schoolers!
