This is the thought that crosses my mind on a daily basis...are we there yet? Of course, I'm wondering if it is June 7th yet. That will be the day I turn in my school keys and key card for the last time! I'm doing my best to stay positive the next 27 school days, but it is getting harder and harder. I am still amazed by the behavior of students. I constantly wonder what has happened to our society to turn out so many ill mannered, immature, disrespectful children. Some days I feel older than my 30 years with the way I view things.
I certainly was raised to be respectful and fear my parents if I screwed up royally and got into trouble. Maybe I was raised by old-fashioned parents, but I'll take that method of parenting over today's practices. Thankfully, I do have a few students who are respectful and do their very best on a daily basis. Some of that is due to their parents, and some of that is just the personality of the kid.
Tomorrow my building gets to meet our new superintendent. From the information sent to us from admin, he seems like a pretty cool guy. His main focus is educating the students. I really like his jeans policy! If it is going to be over 80 degrees, jeans are fine as long as we don't look like bums. :) Works for me!
Something else I've pondered today is the end of my soda consumption. As I type this fabulous post, I am enjoying my VERY last Dr. Pepper. I have until midnight to finish it, since I gave myself a deadline of April 30, 2013 as the last day I would drink soda...EVER. There are a couple reasons for this, but a major reason is for my health. I gave soda up for Lent (I remembered the correct spelling this time Melinda!), and I know I can do it for good this time. I will definitely savor these last precious sips tonight. lol
On a side note, the Weight Watchers commercials with Jennifer Hudson are beginning to irritate me. I don't know why exactly, but she just annoys me. Her singing in the background is like nails on a chalkboard, so that could be a major reason for my irritation. Oh well. There isn't anything I can do about it other than mute the television or change the channel. :)
Well, I think I've rambled enough for tonight. More exciting things are to come in the near future! I am looking forward to it all!
