No life...

I've been so busy lately, working hard at school and grad school. It's a case of too much to do and too little time, with everyone expecting so much. No one cares what else I already have on my plate. I know you all can relate to that, right?

Now that I'm single, I have a little more time to get things done. I haven't gotten much chance to use that time so far, though, since I was recovering from the flu. The doctor said sometimes it can take weeks. Ugh. I finally feel better, but I'm still exhausted because of all the stuff I have to do and DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME. It throws me off completely.

But right now things are going pretty well with my students. They say the cutest things. Last year a student told me teachers smell like books. Last month, one student insisted on saying over and over and over that I have "no ass." One of my little, pre-pubescent boys tugged my sleeve and sweetly said, "Don't worry, Ms. K. You have a nice ass." So many things were wrong with the whole scenario!

Today a student was dawdling at dismissal and I told her to hurry up.

"Miss, for once I want to stay and do my work and you want me to leave."
"Well, I want to go home. You know I have a life outside of school, right?"
"Do you really want me to answer that, Ms. K?"

Ha! The funny thing is, lately she's been pretty much right.

At least you are close to being done though. Then perhaps you'll take a break. HA! You never slow down ;-) I'm glad that you are feeling better finally.
