it felt okay

Today was the first day back teaching in a week.

And I guess it felt okay.

It by all means was not perfect, but I think at this point perfection is out of the question. Of course I yelled and screamed and sent kids packing, but it didn't affect me like it normally would.

To add to that, the weather is a balmy 50 degrees.

Tonight, I attended another Teach for America session to continually increase my effectiveness. Unfortunately, I didn't think the information really fit my particular situation, but the time did fly by quite quickly.

It's interesting that I'm trying to be positive in this post and all my thoughts are choppy and less than three sentences. It's tough with the days growing shorter and the nights getting colder. I find, sometimes that I'm too busy or stressed or angry to really feel lonely, but here, maybe more than ever, it would be nice to have a solid post of support. Ah, but not I'm lapsing into sentimental which is probably no better than ranting about lowered academic expectations.

Tomorrow's another day! -- that's for damn sure.
