ha! she wishes! more like cloudy with a chance of crazy!
most of the time things go quite smoothly in that preschool classroom of mine.
i've been having a bit of trouble with one of my students. she is just.....exhausting. stubborn, goes rag-doll on me, shows no sympathy towards others, no respect for authority, and she's only 4. but, she can be one of the sweetest, most helpful, and intelligent students in my class, whenever it's convenient for her. like i said, exhausting. some days i just don't feel like going to school. wouldn't it be nice if we had a choice every morning? as if it was socially acceptable to not go to work...? that kind of place needs to exist.
i have a couple friends from des moines coming to visit me this weekend. this will be good. i need friends outside of school/omaha right now. sometimes, it's just too much. not saying that my omaha friends aren't great, i just miss the good ol' days of des moines. they were simple times. less complex. less drama. less miss becker and more miss elizabeth. i miss miss elizabeth. i miss ccyc. it was comfortable. easy-going. good good people.
ok, without further ado, i give you a picture-update-montage:
