Two things, actually three. 1.
Two things, actually three.
1. Just like the first few days of 7th grade, it gets better. My amazingly good administration saw there was a problem and moved me to a new classroom. So many of my problems were from the incredibly small dimensions of my class. A special ed teacher with 8 students has been moved to my old classroom. My principal and assistant principal are really fantastic. It is still far from perfect, but the end of the tunnel is apparent in the distance.
2. Thanks to everyone who called or emailed their support during my freaky barfy stage. I think today is the perfect day to realize how important my friends are to me. Sometimes you just have to close your eyes, trust your friends' perceptions of yourself, and use their faith in you to keep you going. Does that make sense?
3. Back to my normal whingeing. I found my first gray hair, dammit! I was in a deep discussion about my lesson plans with one of the other teachers, and this strange white spot was on my arm. I look down, try to brush the annoying white lint off, and realize that it is ATTACHED. After that, all I could do was try to focus on the conversation, because all I wanted was to find some tweezers. I will not go gracefully into that good night.
