a teacher's confession

I AM SO DONE WITH THIS WEEK...AND IT JUST STARTED.

I apologize, students, for my lack of enthusiasm that is sure to show as the week progresses.  

I try to remain even tempered as a teacher.  No matter what's on my mind outside of work I make sure to be calm in front of my classes.  If I'm upset (not of their doing) they do not know.  If I'm super happy then I try to contain myself.  For the remainder of this week, with all my might, I will do my best to act like a teacher who is totally focused and is not only thinking about going home for the holidays.

Maybe I shouldn't have started my countdown so early...I cannot wait...8 more days!!!
