Don't know why or how, but my attitude has shifted. I'm happy again. I'm having fun again. Well, I always have fun with high school students: I've never taken it out on them. They don't know the real truth though, which feels dishonest, but I did warn them that big brother is watching and I don't want any computer dishonesty.
But I still catch the little shits on their myspaces....but I guess I can understand. Although I NEVER blogged or played on company time: let's state THAT for the record.
Why am I happy, when I got bad news yesterday that I'm still trying to digest? (I dunno, it might even be approaching PMS, which would be counter-intuitive to my good mood.) Well, my selected editor-in-chief of the yearbook, Kiwi, can't fit yearbook into her schedule. Let me repeat: I've lost my yearbook editor.
She's one bright cookie and has taken AP (Advanced Placement) everything, which are only available during yearbook time, of course. We've decided, after much hand-wrangling and near crying, that she will be co-editor with someone in class. Then, she is taking a yearbook independent study class during first semester and help me get the book organized, and she promised to help at home and during the summer.
That, and the ever-present end-of-year dramas persist: some kids just like school and want to be there and are sad about summer; others are in relationship crisis and are staying away from me, which makes me sad; and everyone else just wants to be out of there -- NOW, and have really left me in the lurch in yearbook, AGAIN.
So, I'm happy amidst the drama.
