Spring Break

Well now that Spring break is over, I have successfully managed to do nothing.
Super.
No grading. No entering of the grades. No working on my portfolio. Dangit all.
Which just stresses me out a little bit. Considering there is not a lot of "free time" until my entire student teaching section is over.
So now I am stressing some.
Doesn't help that my car's camshaft broke and now I have to drive my gas eating explorer. Yay! Not. Also, quitting my job.... Makes it so all these bills enjoy their pile-up.
It should get better right?

Quit

I can see why so many people drop out of the secondary education program in the second semester. It doesn't help matters when you have a class of hellions who talk constantly. Twenty-nine is a lot of 8th graders talking.
To make matters worse, I had one "complain" about my teaching to their parent. Result? I get reprimanded in a sense. Talk about bad morning. All because a parent is an influential person on the base. Super frustrating, I just don't know that I am made to teach 8th graders. Maybe it is the fact my class is always at the same time, directly after lunch. It never rotates, as the other classes do.
