Is it possible?

I was talking to a friend over G-chat and I said, “I hat/love my job”.

Ahhhhh, HAT love.  I wish it were “hat love” and not really “hate/love”.  Here I am with a fancy M.Ed. sitting in my classroom wondering if I have done the right thing. Sometimes standing in front of a group of high school students can be the saddest, most lonely thing in the world.  

And then other times when they make me mixed cd’s or tell me I remind them of Margie from “Fargo”…it seems worth the nightmares I have about teaching school naked.

Oh, I feel you on that one. There I was today acting like one of the sheep in Animal Farm, baahing and dragging my hooves through the air….and they just stared at me. Wide-eyed, not caring about the literature, their upcoming quiz, or my feelings. I love teaching….but it’s rough some times.

WOW – you were acting like an animal for Animal Farm! I LOVE YOU! That is SO up my ally!
Those times when it seems like they don’t care can be rough…but the days when they are excited and show that they learned and liked something…well…they feel really good. It’s all worth it.
