So, I have been teaching first grade for two weeks now, and I have managed to stay unsick....until now. I have surgery on Thursday and my throat is all scratchy and my nose is doing the whole post nasal drip thing. I hope they will still perform the surgery, because honestly, this is the only time I have available to do this. It wont interrupt my student teaching too much, because the kids are on vacation. Also, I'll still have health insurance. Thats kind of key I think.
I am just thankful that I havent caught the stupid stomach flu thing thats going around. I've been taking that Airborne stuff. Although, now that I think about it, I think im going to have to stop, because it might have vitamin E in it, or iron, which I am not allowed to take a week before surgery, and I've already screwed that up once. Oops. Oh well. I dont think I am going to bleed out.
In other news, I keep waiting for my students to say stupid, silly, or really cute/sweet things, but there havent been many. So far: (keep in mind these are first graders)
One male student came up to another male student and said "hey momma!"
Another said....wow, miss * is such a special teacher (first aww moment of the semester)
I think there was also a remark about the sponge bob square pants song being the best song ever. Lol. I hate sponge bob. When you wake up every morning in a dorm room for a year looking at your roomates spongebob posters....yeah...that'll do it. Who goes to college with pooh bear and sponge bob posters? Sorority chicks...apparently.
I digress...
As for my class, some of these kids are great, and others...honestly, i just want to drop kick. Dont interrupt my lesson to tell me I forgot to dot my I's!!!! Or that I didnt pause at a comma long enough, or that I squished my words together when i wrote them on the board. God damn! Show some respect! Im taller than you, and my wrath is mightier, so dont cross it! Hehehe...just kidding. Its a good thing I have super patience.
Anyways, I guess I am going to turn in early, and hopefully kick this stupid....whatever it is...cold....
I never thought I would be looking forward to surgery, but...here I am. Lets just hope it happens eh?
