They better not cancel school tomorrow...

It’s not easy being single in the winter. I’ve grown to hate the winter season. I’m sick of the indoors. I resent leaving my dog inside all day because it’s far too cold outside. We don’t go jogging everyday and she’s getting chubby. What’s worse is how pale I’ve become. I look my best after some time baking in the sun. It gives me confidence in a vain sort of way. Winter is definitely a time for couples; it’s when all the major couple holidays occur.

Overall, I’m bored of being at home trying to stay warm and it’s freezing outside. I’m not accustomed to it yet. I preferred being at home trying to stay warm with her next to me.

My administrator came in to observe me today. If anyone didn’t know my students on an individual basis, they would see a classroom of chaos. In reality, a handful of them have progressed in leaps in bounds since the beginning of the year. Another scoop of them haven’t changed and aren’t going to be inspired to do so by me. An unfortunate majority of them are just well rounded young adults who are accustomed to being overshadowed by the bastards and assholes in their classes and never receive the attention and praise they really deserve because teachers don’t have to worry about them.

They’ll never know how much we appreciate them.
