I can't wait until next week is over.

aideThis full time teaching thing is great but I want the perks that come with it. It's pretty much solidified what I already knew about wanting to be a teacher -- I can just imagine how much better it will be when the kids will be speaking the same language I am and I can wield absolute power and do things my way. That makes me sound tyranical but I don't really know how far I can go in terms of discipline. But I think they are starting to realize that if you aren't paying attention, I am going to call on you. I show mercy for no one.
It's not really any more work than I do on a regular basis. I got all the planning done in that one day, so now it's just execution but the stress is definitely higher. Not stress, per se, but... responsibility. Makes you more tired. I don't know if anyone gets what I mean. I don't even know if I do. Tajima-sensei gave me some encouraging works when I was doing my photocoping (aka killing a small forest) for my classes next week. That made me feel good. :)
Got an email from Mom mentioning Dad having surgery and I freaked out. She hadn't mentioned anything about it before and gave me no details so naturally I jumped to conclusions. Dad has a kind of... lump? Fat deposit or something on his neck and I'm always worried that it's actually a tumor or something. I called home during work and when Mom answered the phone I started wibbling. "Daddy's having surgery...?" And then she laughed and said it was no big deal. He fell on a tire 15 years ago and had to sit on a donut cushion for a while and apparently after all this time it's turned into a cyst or something and keeps getting infected so the doc is going in to clean it up. Just elective, day surgery. I'm kind of glad no one walked past seeing me crying on the phone in the main foyer.
The boots are working out. No blisters on the walk to and from work today.
Am updating a shitton of fics on OT5... I am not even going to bother with listing "recommeded by" anymore because 90% of them are mine.
Did you know that serif fonts are used in large bodies of text because the little tails make your eye follow the words better and promote understanding? I didn't! The things you learn from Smashing Magazine.
