Two Weeks Later...Again!

Wow, so much has happened over the last two weeks! Too bad I've forgotten about almost all of it. I should start writing stuff down...say on a blog or something...

Barack Obama is president-elect. I've been waiting for this for almost 21 months. I can't wait until January 20! I can't even describe how happy I was on election night. Pure euphoria. Hope has arrived!

I snuck in to school today to get a few things done that I wasn't able to finish yesterday. I noticed piles of black ash everywhere. If the ash wasn't black, I would have sworn it had just snowed. Surreal.

Eight days to go before break. I cannot wait. Discipline has been out of control. We've been suspending three/four kids a week...not good. Fighting, defiance, sexual harassment, bullying, assault...it's just plain scary. A lot of what's happening can be totally prevented. It's just a matter of supervision...keeping an eye out and being proactive. I'm just hoping we can get through the next 8 days in one piece. Keep all fingers crossed!

Eight days ... now it's down to 3! I'm TOTALLY jealous. I do miss the down time during the middle of the year. HOWEVER I do get that great big chunk of time after June 15th ish. Sometimes waiting can be soooo hard.
