colleagues

without getting too specific, i'm going to say that a few of my colleagues basically started screaming during our department meeting. they weren't arguing. one of them just talks REALLY (unnecessarily) loud and when someone tries to respond and she isn't finished, she raises her shrill voice. the two who were screaming were standing right behind me. it was the end of the day. i was tired. i wanted to leave. but instead, i had to listen to them scream.

i think i need a day off. i guess i kind of have one on friday--it just dawned on me. i am taking a mini field trip with just a few kids to an oratorical festival that they have every year in our district. so really i only have to teach tommorow, although i'm kind of planning on coming back for the last period of the day on friday to deal with the kids, so it's not a total day off.

i'm just tired. this is just tiring. i guess that the truth of the matter is that when you work this hard, you get tired. i almost never rest, either....hmmm...
