ugh

today was horrible.

too horrible for capitals. yes.

i took my first half-day today. 1st period went okay, i was a little hoarse still, but i felt okay. 2nd period, i got really frustrated because the kids weren't listening and my voice was getting worse and i couldn't yell over them anymore without my chest feeling like it was on fire. so i called the office to put in for a half-day sub, and went home to sleep.

i slept for about 2 hours, and then came back to school for 2 parent-teacher conferences. THAT DIDN'T SHOW UP. i came back to school for them because i want to get the kids out of my class, and this is one of the 328976million necessary steps to getting them out, and then they didn't show up.

THEN. i met with the "highly-qualified" lady to talk about how i'm not highly qualified yet. she told me that i had to take two more praxis tests before march 30, 2008, or i could be in danger of losing my job. THIS IS BULLSHIT, in my opinion. i was exempt from praxis I in louisiana, but apparently ONLY in louisiana. and i have to take ANOTHER music content test because it wasn't required in louisiana, but is required in nevada.

and i just HAD to pick the state that wants every. single. test.

and i'm still sick on top of all this, and i just want it all to end. goodnight.
