Yes, I’m pretending to be a librarian today. 😉 Honestly, I’ve gotten the easiest assignments. On Tuesday, I was in for a teacher whose classes were all (but one) meeting with guidance to discuss scheduling. I read a book.
Today, I get to read between turning kids away from the library (capacity is 25), monitoring computer use and shelving the occasional book.
Today, I also get to use the computer for a brief moment while the library clerk is on her lunch break. Woohoo!
I subbed 7th grade Spanish on Monday…they were…uh, a handful. Not “bad” exactly, but they didn’t want to shut up. A few of the kids were blatantly disrespectful to each other. One girl, a snotty little thing wearing a too-short skirt and a too-tight top, gave me attitude when I asked her to sit down during study hall. She huffed back to her desk and slammed down her notebook. I went up to her and told her to knock off the attitude. She glared at me. Sigh…
My community college class is, um, interesting. I like my Tuesday class better. The Wednesday class won’t talk to me, will barely talk to each other, and I just feel this wall of attitude coming from them. I spoke to two adult students yesterday after class who told me that I am *not* imagining the attitude. Every moment of that class is like pulling teeth. Yesterday, I let them go early, offering to stick around and answer questions for anyone who wanted help on their essays that are due next week. Four of them stuck around to talk to me. We’ll see how their papers look.
I have one student who is not on my roster. I just got my final list, and he’s still not on it. I told him he has to go to records ASAP and straighten it out. He wanted me to take care of it for him…um, right. Do I look like your mommy?
Hmmm…what else…oh, yeah! I went to the Ash Wednesday service at the Episcopal church yesterday with Jen, and so I still had big smudgy ashes on my forehead. One kid, as I started class, said “Miss, I think you have some ink on your face or something.” Hee. After the service, Jen and I met up with Rand for a tasty fish fry at Gabriel’s Gate. Ah, is there anything better than the Lenten fish fry? 🙂
