What? It's September already? When did that happen?

Yikes, I can't believe it's already the second of September! What happened to the months of June, July, and August? More importantly, what happened to my summer vacation? It's gone...over...done...finished...*sob*

Now, before I give any of my readers the wrong impression, I actually do enjoy my job. You readers out there only get to hear about the wonky crap that goes on...teachers who don't know when the World Wars occurred, kids who think I'm speaking Spanish, middle school mayhem, etc. But those topics are what make the best kind of stories. I don't blog about the cool stuff I get to do, like making language possible for students who otherwise would have no means of communication with the world at large, teaching sign language to parents and teachers, interpreting for soccer practice, etc. Not that that stuff isn't fun or inspiring, it's just that I prefer to turn the frustrating situations I face everyday into stories that you can enjoy.

Hooray! You're back! Are you back with the middle schoolers this year? You know you love their crazy-know-it-all attitudes!

And you did have at least one exciting week this summer, right? Right? Remember the little penguins?

Oh, the little penguins!!!! Of course I remember those little guys!!!11!1!1!

Yes, I'm back at the middle school this year...as if you couldn't tell already. :o) Don't worry, there'll be PLENTY of stories coming soon. I'm spending a good portion of my school day with some sixth-graders, so there is no "know-it-all" attitude with them, only a total confused/lost/bewildered attitude.

Total confused/lost/bewildered attitude...funny how I deal with that every day from my 22+ year old Lieutenants who are in charge of other peoples lives! Yay for you being back! I've missed you!
