Part of this week's Hopkins' assignment is to list my long and short term professional goals. I love that someone is making me plan ahead for a grade since it is something I do so often in my head. The more I think about it the more I don't think I can stay in this situation. This semester, although annoying at times, is much better than last semester. And I have a feeling that it would only get better and better as I get more experienced... but I just don't think I can go to work and fight with children everyday, which is something even the best, most experienced teachers do every single day in this place. The experienced teachers are just better at the fight and actually that means sometimes they have to do more of it. Can I make it through the rest of this year? Absolutely. Next year? Yes. After that? No. I don't want to stay in this situation or in this school district. "Leave Balt City" doesn't seem like a good goal though.

Sadly nothing happened today. Well except I said something like "If you live in a warm climate you never get snow days" and this kid responds with "Oh, is that why we were off yesterday?"
