Year 3, Post...5?

HOLA MIS AMIGOS--
I am personally super pumped to be back at school, even though we just finished week 5 and my grading pile is sky high. I love Spanish 3 the most, I think, because they are my babies and I love watching them grow and learn and I don't want to talk about it too much because next year they are going to be seniors and graduate and then I will be a mess and y'all know it doesn't take much to make me cry!
Anywaysssss, I am really enjoying this year's freshmen. They are on the ball this year! It's fun to see them twice and even three times a day. I do miss my senior buds who are now freshmen all over again, but I am able to keep in touch with them pretty well for the most part.
I'm obviously like the literal worst at posting blogs. Oh well, I don't get graded on it! But, my personal goal this year is to out-blog Fahs because he has already been so incredibly mean to me this year and it's only September and I want to win.
Sooooo, it is 9:24 and apparently once you turn 25, your bedtime is 9:00, so I'm tired! Fitzy needs his arthritis medicine because he and I are just a couple of old foagies. Oh well, one day, Anthony Rizzo will come take care of us. But only after he finishes this season. You know, priorities...

House for Sale

I am literally sitting in my car, with my cat, in a parking lot, grading papers because our house is being shown to some potential buyers. I bought an ice cream cone, but Fitzy didn't  want any, so I ate it by myself. Hopefully I don't get arrested for loitering.
Anyway, I really enjoyed reading all of the blog posts this quarter. I'm so lucky to know so many awesome, talented kids and I'm so happy I get to spend my days teaching you things. Fitzgerald just piped up from the backseat and says he wants to meet you all sometime. He doesn't understand why he can't come to school, too. Crap, there's a group of children approaching my car. I look like some crazy, homeless, cat loving kidnapper. Better find a new spot to grade in!

Flaws?!

I think my biggest flaw, in complete honesty, is how sensitive I am. I always try to do the right thing and do it perfectly, and when I don't or can't, I feel like a huge failure. Then again, sensitivity isn't always a bad thing. It allows me to relate to the people around me and always guarantees that I will try my hardest to do everything correctly the first time. I sometimes take the things that people say too much to heart, but honestly, that's just who I am! Just like Fahs goes around BREAKING OTHER PEOPLE'S OWL FIGURINES. He can't help it that he's heartless and has no consideration for the preservation of porcelain animal statues. It's just who he is. And Hudson, she can't help that she's a vampire who thrives from living in the dark surrounded by her spider friends! She just can't help being undead. And that is ok. #I'mSensitiveAndIKnowIt

I'm a blogging failure.

I am legit awful at this. Let me try the week 3 prompt even though I totally didn't do week 2. I don't feel like I can really answer, considering I'm not a teenager anymore. As for the story of my life...I think I would probably read up until where I am now. I'd like to say that I wouldn't read any further, but I probably wouldn't have the self-control to stop. Honestly, who would? It would be too hard to not peek to see what happens in the future. I mean, if I meet and marry Miles Teller, I would like to know ahead of time so that I can, like, have my hair looking snazzy and all that. Just my thoughts.

The New Teacher in Town

First couple weeks down and it has been craaaazy! I love it here, but I have some big shoes to fill. I think that a lot of my students are comparing me to Mrs. Taylor, which is hard for me because we are just so completely different! I hope that everyone will keep giving me a chance to prove myself. Coming from bigger schools, I would have to say that I am definitely a fan of the small town feel for the most part. Everyone knows each other, which can be fun, and I'm sure a little frustrating! I'm loving getting to know all of my students and hope that they keep open minds to the changes that have come with my presence here!
