My little blog in my little corner of the world. I teach middle school. I listen to music. I hang out with my friends. I am attempting to be healthy. I love hard.

I love my job.

It's nice to come to work and immediately hug four different coworkers because you missed each other in the twelve hours you were apart.

This week.

I want to stop being grumpy all the time. I want to stop comparing myself to others. I want to make an effort to be there for the people in my life rather than only talking/thinking about myself. I want to feel connected again. The last month or so has been a little off. I'm fixing it.

Me: (to student with marker drawings all over her face) Please go wash your face before class starts.
Student: I don't have to.
Me: (still calm) Please go wash your face before class starts.
Student: *goes to bathroom and washes face*
Student: You can't make me take the marker off.
Me: But your face is clean, tho. So I guess I can.
Student: *glares*

Dude 1: Dude, did you hook up with that chick last night?
Dude 2: Fuck yeah, man. She was totally asking for it.
Dude 1: Wait... so you-
Dude 2: No, I mean she verbally asked me to fuck her.
Dude 1: Good. Because consent is important.
Dude 2: Word.
Both: *turn to camera* Don't be a fuckwad.

getting up at 6 am by choice: wow what a beautiful sunrise! the house is so peaceful and quiet. i feel really tired but i don't have to do anything but just sit here and enjoy the morning. what a pleasant feeling
getting up at 6 am because you have to: these covers draped upon my mortal coil have become the dirt above my casket. my corpse refuses to unsettle the earth to rise from its grave. i have been dead for centuries and have no intentions to assimilate once more into the tragic world of the living

Aww, thank you so much! This message made my day! (Especially since I have always been a little self-conscious about that mole, lol).
