I love the windy day Pooh cartoon. Today is Wednesday, but it feels like Thursday to me. Slightly depressing. I feel terribly guilty for wishing life away, but I’m ready for this school year to be over. It isn’t that it has been a terrible year. It really hasn’t been. The students are better than what I had before, even if they are less capable. Well, let me say less motivated. I don’t know, maybe even not that. The last group was pretty unmotivated. I don’t know what the issue is. Maybe they are all average and below where before they were average and above. Either way, I feel like I’m pulling teeth many days. I still like to teach and I like teaching these students, most days. What gets me down is not having a classroom. It is SO much harder than I ever thought it would be. I thought, get organized and make it work. That is true, but there is no settlement.

I am not the only floating teacher in this world. I am not the only floating teacher in my building. There are schools and teachers that have it so much worse. I know this. It still doesn’t mean I have to like it.

Bright side…there is one.

I have a job. I have a job using my degree. I have a job that I care about.

For this, I am thankful.
