I didn't sleep well last
I didn't sleep well last night, combination of stress and cold. This morning was a nice struggle out of the sheets. I wasn't in the mood to teach the grimies, but I had to get out of bed to call in sick, so I just kept going once I was out of the bed. Got to school late (I was free for the first period anyway), found out that we had a surprise inspection by the superintendant, and went through the motions for the day. My kids' only efforts involved being evil, I had a huge altercation with this one particularly nasty child in an 8th grade class, and I'm losing my voice again.
I'll be fine in a few days about the attack. I wasn't really injured, I'm just a bit sore. People have told me of attacks that were a lot worse, so I'm hoping my first/last attack will be the perfect education experience. I'm planning on not repeating the incident- walking down the busier street, actively watching my environment when I'm alone, and remembering how to whoop ass when needed. I pulled a Jesus Lizard on that guy, yelling and flailing. It worked, but I can't count on that next time. I'll basically try to make sure there isn't a next time.
