Ol' ugly
A kid called me ugly yesterday. She wasn't my student, but I had to send her to the office for acting like a damn fool between classes. Calling me ugly wasn't what got her in trouble; that came afterwards. She decided to say it halfway under her breath as she complained about how unfair I was for sending her to the office, and she was doing this as she was stomping off in anger. It kind of made me laugh a little. It was a little reminder that the kids are, well, kids. I can't remember the last time I was called ugly, but I'm thinking it must've been pre-"fat white rabbit fucker." If I ever get called anything more random than that, I'll let you know immediately.
I'm so glad it's Friday. This week has felt so long. Perhaps it's because I haven't actually worked 5 consecutive days in the last several weeks, thanks to Martin Luther King and bronchitis. Today might be tough. I need to get there early this morning to grade some tests and enter some grades, but I'm still sitting on the bed with a cup of coffee.
Tomorrow, I sleep!

I don't mean to brag, but a 7th grade girl once drew a full-page picture of MY ugliness, and wrote a caption underneath: "Mrs. Hillbilly Mom, the ugly, ugly science teacher. So ugly even the dogs don't like her."

Yes, I am. According to an independent survey of one crazy woman conducted in a local Save-A-Lot on New Year's Day, 2006. Margin of error plus or minus '1'.
