Almost Done

I will soon be done with student teaching . . . 10 days and counting down! It's it sad when the teacher (me) wants to be sick so I can stay home? I don't mind teaching, but teaching in the public school is a challenge I don't think I want to take on unless all my options have run out. The kids are lazy and disrespectful. The administration is seen as a joke by the students, and the parents take the side of the students; some even side with the students that school is not important.

Anyway, Gregory left this morning at 4:30 ( I think) to drive with Pastor Sharpeta to Kentucky. Melissa and Anna needed to get to camp for the summer. I will miss them. I miss Gregory too. He hasn't been gone long, but it gets kind of lonely and boring without him here. Last night he stayed at the Sharpeta's so he could leave early this morning, so tonight is my second night without him home with me . . . I don't like being in the big bed without him. I have no idea how people enjoy living by themselves. I get scared being by myself and who am I to talk to when Benjamin goes to bed?

Well, I need to work on creating the final exam for the ninth graders. I am tired and need to go to bed. I am such a procrastinator. I want to go to bed, but I need to make a little progress on the exam before I let my head hit the pillow. One down side to teaching is that it is not a job you leave at work when you clock out. You don't really clock in and clock out; you work until the job is done; even during the summers you prepare for the next year. There is a balance to be found though. You can't let school be your life or your family will suffer. Which is why it will be a while before I teach full time in a school (if I don't stay home to teach my own kids).

Until the next time, God Bless!
