Weakened plans

Yuck. I've spent the whole weekend at home, due to a gross chest cold brought on by sinuses. I had to cancel all my plans, I didn't get to cuddle with my boyfriend, and I just don't feel good.

(Cue the sympathetic noises, then firmly tell me to get on with it)

I basically lost my voice on Friday morning after a coverage of a seventh grade class, so I decided not to speak for the rest of the day. I taught all of my classes with notes on posters. One of my classes was horrible, but the other two were large sets of teenage angels. They all worked, they all were good on a Friday in the spring, and I actually would have enjoyed the non-teaching if I had felt better.

It's a lesson I've been trying to learn. I still occasionally yell, but teenagers don't really listen to yelling. Friday proved that my involvement can really just be limited to organizing well, presenting the work, and allowing the kids to learn. Many kids advised me to stay at home, drink juice, and don't come back on Monday.

I'll still go back on Monday, but maybe quietly. One week until break, by the way.
