Good Times and Boring Stories

GOOD: I finished student teaching and grad school yesterday! All of my classes threw me parties and made me awesome presents! For the first time since I entered Pre-K, I am not going to be a student in the fall! WEIRDNESS.

BAD: Period 5, which was the closest to being my favorite class, pretty much made it clear that they liked their English student teacher (who is admittedly awesome and someone I hope to be friends with now that we're done) more than me.

GOOD: I got a call-back interview! I didn't think the initial interview went all that well, so I'm very happily surprised! I also got an awesome suit from J. Crew and a sassy-grown-up-hair cut, so now I just need to throw on the glasses and the pumps and I'm ready to meet the principal!

BAD: Twisted my ankle earlier today - no swelling, but slight bruising. Hurts quite a bit. Wearing the pumps on Monday should be a hoot. Did I mention that this school is comprised of five million staircases?

I'm guessing if my ankle isn't causing me intense pain, it's not biggie. I'm just starting to worry that I'm going to have to spend tomorrow in the emergency room - tomorrow needs to be another resume extravaganza. I do have books to read though...

So I've officially messed up a homework assignment. Not one that I had to do, but one I actually assigned. I don't know which is worse, really.

Essentially - my friend and I had to make an interdisciplinary website for our class early in the semester. It was on a topic that I just covered with my students, so I asked them to look at the site over the weekend and answer one of the questions we had put up. First problem - a lot of my students couldn't access the site. That sucked, but I just sent them the questions. The second and really big problem - there's something up with the site and I can't see everyone who posted! I mean, it's not that big a deal, since I wasn't planning on having this count for much or anything, but it still really sucks knowing that I blew it.

And now I have to finish grading the stupid notes that my co-op has them do. Seriously, why assign notes that you have no intention of having your students actually use? Why encourage them to ask questions like "What color was Jackson's horse?" and other stupid things that I am, for some reason, obligated to answer. But seeing as how this is my day off (because I'm very very sick *cough cough*), I think I'll break in an hour to play a little Guitar Hero.
