5:00am-wake up. tired. starting to feel a little depressed. questioning why I am doing this.
6:00am-exhausted. falling asleep.
7:15am-meeting with one of my "trouble girl's" mom. I was super nervous. I called the mom last night, asking her for a meeting to discuss her daughter. We met at 7:15 and I was feeling like a little girl trying to act like a big girl...I felt like I was playing teacher in my basement. The conversation went very well, and the girl was an angel all day in class!
8:00-still dragging...
9:00am-when is lunch?
10:00am- fell asleep in the bathroom...
11:00am- Teaching kids! Yeah! Highlight! I love being in the classroom
12:30pm-back to being exhausted...
****12:50- Special announcement from our School Director that we had an emergency meeting in the libray. (Great, 10 minutes off of my short break...)
12:50: He told us to bring laptops to take notes on... His tone was serious as he told us that we were not meeting our goals and were needing to stay late at school today for an extra 3 hours! What?! The buses were going to pick us up at 8:00pm and take us straight to our Learning Team Night Classes at Georgia Tech. Urg....
I thought I was going to officially enter depression...
He built up this new strategy that the staff was going to teach the teachers. We were all dragging...
.......Then....after a ten minute build up the staff surprised us and told us that the buses were waiting in the parking lot and that we had the ENTIRE afternoon off!!! No Learning Team Night Classes! No afternoon sessions!!!
Ahh!!!! My eyes welded up with tears! My friend Elaina started crying! What the heck is going on?!?! I was so excited!
We had NOTHING to do this afternoon?!?!
We all ran to the buses with our stuff and greated the bus drivers with HUGE grins!
Then...they made it better! They gave us coupons for Barnes and Noble, pedicures, manicures, masssages, and told us that there was a BBQ on campus at 5:30!
Sweetness!
So, me and some girls went to Midtown Atlanta and got our nails done! I fell asleep in the massage chair! : )
What a wonderful afternoon!
How amazing that a horrible morning can be transformed into such a beautiful night!
Oh man! I love surprises!
