I hate my Tuesday class....

I've tried to hang in there. I've tried to understand the method to her madness. I've been patient. I've shown up. I've behaved. The bitter truth is, that I HATE my Tuesday class!! I hate it!

This professor sucks. She is making a simple class difficult and there is no excuse. Why must I do 2 drafts of everything? Why must she make us struggle through and THEN after we do it wrong she provides guidance and a rubric? I have 4 more weeks and I am not certain I won't kill her!!!!!

Next week I have to have my Unit Assessment Plan completed for that class. I also have to do my lesson plan for my curriculum class. In curriculum it is fun, the teacher does not suck. We have a huge project due at the end, but we get to practice our lessons in front of each other. You start by telling the class the age group they will be for the lesson, and then you do the lesson. The class gets to act age appropriate for the class you are teaching. It can be fun to act like a high school student! Paybacks will be hell though... so I behaved this week! I can't say the same for last week... I was provoked :-)

I am happy today is done -- Tuesdays are high school observation, then work, then class. By the time I make the 45 minute drive home from class I'm pretty much done. Tomorrow is Wednesday -- I like that day because I don't have class, I don't have high school, and work is at the office vs. travel. Wednesday is the day I put myself back together. Next semester my madness will be on Wednesday and Thursdays. It will be strange to not have the Monday and Tuesday marathons.

I still have not gone back to Taco Bell. There are limits to what I'm willing to put myself through! This weekend hubby and I will be going out with friends! We are going out to dinner and SOCIALIZING with 2 other couples. The sky must be falling!
