Smooth day=tired Ashley

I feel that I complain a lot. I'm sorry if I do. It's not really complaining but am opening up of my mental ducts. They need to be cleaned quite frequently. So today was the day I got my new students. Every seat was filled. The room's air conditioner sounds like there's a bulldozer in my room, but I try to overlook that small thing. Not one student was absent.

I forewarned the assistant principal that I may be sending some bugars his way with a big, fat referral. I had my referrals filled out and ready. Did I have to use one? No, not even close. I was amazed at how well everything went. It wasn't overly chaotic, no fights, only one girl cursed. I call that success! Now our next class meeting may be totally different. I'm not saying there won't be bumps in the road, but my old students know that I quickly dispose of bumps. No one will interfere with my educating another student.

I was pleased. Worn out to a T but pleased.  I had new students come up to me later this afternoon to tell me that they had a lot of fun in class today and that I was a really cool teacher.  I said, "I'm glad you had a good first impression, but don't be surprised if you end up hating me at the end of the semester. Impressions change."  Hey, I'm only realistic. I hope all days will be as successful!
