Argh!

Frustration!

There's a certain someone I just want to tell to grow up, but I never have the chance to do so.

I'm tired of dealing with all that's not being done and all the hinting, suggestions, and niceties are not working. So it's down to being blunt but I rarely see this person anymore so I can't be blunt in person, but I don't want to leave this to notes and emails.

Argh!

Crazy Dreams

So I've had a couple of crazy, not so fun dreams lately...

Last night I dreamed that my principal made me teach first grade with only a day or two notice. I couldn't get them to listen and they kept wandering off. Not only was I teaching 1st grade but I also still had to teach 6th grade math so I didn't get a prep time as I had to go to another class. I was very relieved when the school day was over so I left and was getting on the freeway when I glanced down at my clock and noticed that it was only 10:30 so school wasn't out yet so I had to turn around and go back, but before I did, I got out of my car to take a breather and let out some frustration and my car kept going at freeway speed so I started running after it. I thought it was going to run into something so I was somewhat relieved that I would be able to catch it but it went around and kept going. I couldn't find my car, it was no where to be found. It was quite traumatizing but I can't decided which was worse, losing the car or teaching 1st and 6th grade.

Last week, my dream had my principal looking for a new teacher to hire for 5th grade at the school (he really was by the way, but also in my dream). He couldn't find anyone that would mesh with the teachers already in 5th grade so he made me teach 5th and put the new teacher in my current position.

So, can you tell that school is starting next month and I have it on the brain right now trying to get ready? I never dream about school this much!

Done!

I have finished my final paper and it is submitted! I have now finished everything I need to do for my master's degree! To make things even better, my house is clean thanks to the procrastination that led up to my papers being done. Now I just need to figure out how to spend the rest of my time.

Nothing Much

School has been out for almost a month and a half now and I can almost have a break. I finished my three weeks of master classes and my week of workshop from you know where. I've written four out of five papers to finish up my master classes with a plan to finish the last paper tomorrow. Everyone keeps asking me what my plans for my summer are and so far my response is "what summer?" I would love to feel like I am on break so I can actually plan for one. I have had a few days here and there without classes, workshops, or assignments but those days have been filled with cleaning that has been neglected for quite awhile. The only thing I really have left to deep clean is my room and that is scheduled for all day Friday. As for the rest of my summer...I need to paint my front door (it has needed it since I moved in three years ago and this summer it is going to happen!), I would like to go home (but I don't want to drive and I haven't had any killer plane tickets come up), I want to go visit some friends (but that is looking like it won't happen either), I have plans to go visit my brother in LA and see The Price is Right, other than that, I don't know. I have to be back at work in a month and in that month, i need to get ready to go back to work.

On another note, my cousin, Natalie, moved in with me this week. I'm not sure how long she will be sticking around, but it's nice to have backup again. I don't know her as well as i do other cousins so maybe this will be my chance to get to know her better.

I also had a dream/nightmare that my principal couldn't find a teacher to hire for the 5th grade position at our school so he made me go to 5th grade and put the new person in my slot of 6th. I wasn't very happy when I woke up.
