I signed up for a retirement savings account today. Only 33.5 more years of teaching! Yes!
This was a good week...my only non-Latino student, a boy whose family is from Laos, brought me this SWEET cd that his older brother made. Does anyone need a copy of Laotian pop/rock? Are you sure?
My students are pretty terrific, and so is my job, despite things like coworkers assuming that a student is "a little slow" because they don't speak the English. (Voice in my head: "Hmmm...you do speak English but you're MORE than a little slow. You're FUCKING BRAINLESS.") ((Voice in my mouth: "Uhhhh...I need to go make some copies.")
I managed to get out of playing in staff-student softball game at the middle school, but I didn't totally luck out as I wound up "supervising" students. Loosely translated: find the kid yelling inappropriate things and sit by them. A good time was had by all.
In my non-teacher life, I'm off to run a marathon this weekend and hopefully beat Palin's astonishingly good time. If I can't do that, I'll settle for enjoying myself and not crapping my pants.
