Sometimes Blog Fodder Just Falls In Your Lap

I really think I need to pay more attention during my 7th hour. Why? Well that will be quite evident soon enough.

A little background first. seventh hour I have all my student...all 19 of them jammed into a room that is less than half the size of a general education classroom. Basically it's wall to wall tards and they are all sitting 6 inches apart. Needless to say it's a recipe for disaster. It's a wonder no one's gotten shanked yet...oh wait that did happen a few years back...hence the removal of all sharp objects form my classroom.

Anyway it's normally a circus this hour as all my students behavioral meds have worn off and their true psychopathic homicidal tendencies tend to rise to the surface. So while I'm dealing with some douche bag telling me to fuck off ...this was taped to my white board.....................

In case you can't read it I will decipher for ya:

Oh my God are you ok? I saw the short bus flip over and I know how you don't like to wear your helmet because it is hard to lick the windows.

What can I say except PRICELESS....you gotta love a tard with a sense of humor.

Life's Lessons Learned

I've learned some important things about myself lately. Essentially I've learned that underestimating others and myself is a huge mistake. See I've got issues, layers of them, and in an attempt to deal with these layers of angst I've chosen to become someone I really wasn't. Pretending of sorts to diffuse this pain I feel every waking moment of my day.

But with all things deceitful to yourself, it has to come to an end. The repercussion I feared most was rejection, but amazingly I was greeted with compassion, love and grace...for the most part. The one person I thought would be most judgemental actually showed me the most compassion. That simple act of kindness not only restored my faith in myself but also in mankind.

True friends are hard to find , but I've got a few I wouldn't give up for the world. OK enough of this sentimental sappy shit and back to my sarcastic self.
