It is the end of my first week, and oddly enough I feel a lot like ....... ERIC! I received a $1200 paycheck for doing absolutely nothing. Sure I run off copies of math sheets, laminate posters of the color wheel, and flush fecal matter down the toilet when my students forget how, but is all of this deserving of a hefty paycheck? I guess it is! The only thing separating me from my much more productive brother, is my professional decorum. Sorry Er, but all the people here love me (at least that is what they tell me to my face).
In all honesty, I have really had a hard time dealing with the amount of down time I have during my day. For instance, today I spent a good part of the morning attempting to fix the laminator. Any one who has ever worked in a school district knows the importance of a well running laminator, and I did not want to let any of my colleagues down. After fidgeting with the machine, I decided to direct my attention to the 200 or so copies I had to make. Well copying really didnt take me that long either, and with nothing left to do, I was forced to head back to the classroom.
All of this monotony was just my morning. Trust me my afternoon did not get much better, and as I am sure you are all bogged down with work, I will spare you the details. However, the week is over and I am now formulating thoughts for my weekend. Odessa (my roommate), Justin (my friend), and I (the figurative me), were thinking of heading to the Twin Cities for a day or two. I like the idea, but I may push for a trip to Jackson, Wyoming - home of the Teton mountains. I will make sure to keep everyone updated, and hopefully there will be pictures to accompany my mindless rambling. Love you All!
P.S. Splat - hope teaching is the shit!!!
