Only one!Â
So far only one crier and one kid who eats her hair.
First day success!
Does this guy know me or what?! (Part 2)
Professional Dream Analysis
Me: “I keep having that dream where I’m late for school, or missing something I need for school, or not sure what I have to get done for school.”
Therapist: “It sounds like you’re having anxiety about school.”
$300 fee– earned.
Do As I Say, Not As I Do
One of our school mottos is “Be yourself– everyone else is already taken.”
So on the first day with the kids tomorrow, my also jewish, white, 30-something co-teacher and I are going to wear matching dresses, necklaces, and hairstyles.
Because leading by example is overrated and hard.
But wearing matching outfits is adorable and fun!
I Got This
“This teaching thing is easier than I remember!” I thought to myself just now as I left my first day back at work.
Then I remembered the kids weren’t there today.
Tomorrow might be harder.
Good StartÂ
Motivation
This tactic would probably work better if I actually kept food in the fridge. This should really be hanging from my seamlessweb app.
Don’t challenge me
Eric thought he’d challenge me to a “Who is going to have a more stressful day at work tomorrow” contest, the night before school starts.
Me: “I’m sorry, but you could work triple the hours I work and my day tomorrow would still be infinitely more stressful than yours.”
Eric: “I have to hit my target for the quarter or I get fired!”
Me: “I have to not hit a kid all year or I get fired!”
I won.
You Don’t Exist
No, former student. Stop waving at me from across the street. I still have exactly 15 hours to not care about you.
