purimgifts goodies are up! And they are full of win.

We have two new teachers who just started today, and I have the fullest schedule this semester of all five teachers. Blech. My KT says it's because the director thinks Other!Teacher is too strict and New!Teacher is too lenient. I won the Goldilocks Award I didn't know I was competing for. Fucking ace. However, fairness is still important, I'll have a hernia if I get much more stressed out, and I'm going to petition for at lease one more off period when we have our weekly meeting tomorrow.

I've got a left-handed kindergartener whose mother wants her to become right-handed. It's an old superstition that being left-handed is unlucky. I really don't want to force the poor girl, as long as she makes an effort in class. Gnrgh.

I've decided to rename my fellow teachers, since it's silly to call them Other!Teacher and New!Teacher now that we have two even newer ones. So from this moment on, they're Elly and Iphy, and if anyone's read Geek Love and gets the reference, you rock.

The two really new ones are Jack and Jill.

I'm thinking for the past few months that I want to become a certified teacher. Been in contact with reps from different online programs, currently eyeing Kaplan's program.

My room is chilly, therefore I will put on pants. It's embarrassing how long it took me to reach this conclusion.
