I hardly tell them anything about me.

I skipped my date tonight. My car's still in the shop. I still have a date Thursday, with a man I'm actually really looking forward to seeing.

I seriously laid on my bed for 45 minutes this evening staring at the wall and bouncing my legs, like I was having a fit or something. I wasn't. I'm just tired.

I taught a lesson on poetic meter today. I used "Stomp!" as an example and almost got through my fourth block without wanting to kill anyone. Almost. All in all, a good lesson.

Still don't have anything other than hotel and dinner reservations for my sister's showers this weekend. Still the worst maid of honor ever.

Still ambivalent about posting diary entries - I don't seem to have much to say anymore. Maybe if RD was a worse roommate I could have more ranty entries. Remember how much fun I had with Einstein? Ahh, the good old days. Well, Einstein's coming for a visit next month, maybe she'll drive me crazy then!

Hmmmm. I'm going to be teaching 3 different novels I haven't read since high school to three of my classes starting in two weeks. I might want to get on that. I also don't have what I'm doing with my 4th class planned for after spring break. Ah well. I'm sure it'll fall into place sometime next week during parent/teacher conferences. I sure hope nobody yells at me.

This is probably why I'm a bad poster. It makes me a little uncomfortable to talk about my job. I feel like I have to portray myself as "Super Teacher!", not the mess I really am. Because teachers can't have days where they don't know what their doing or spend their time outside of school lusting after boys or dancing around or making faces at kids sitting in the pew in front of them at church or cuss and swear and rant wildly on their car ride home from school everyday.

We're supposed to be normal, well adjusted pillars of society in public. And while I don't think anyone knows my real identity on here, it still weirds me out a bit. Even if you're not my student, I shouldn't be undoing the positive things that your teachers are doing by behaving badly in any way shape or form.

At least, that's how I see it. I'm a completely different person with my kids and it should stay that way.
