Today is one of the ROUGH days of my job. It is one of those days when I'm like ha, so what am I supposed to do? I don't know how to do my job... Today is also following yesterday, which was learn-that-you've-made-3-major-mistakes-before-9-am day. So, things are GR8. To say the least.
I came in timid, unsure of how to teach, but learning along the way. I hit my stride a few weeks back, but now one of the other special ed teachers is consistently taking one of my students and she treats her SO differently and reports her behavior so differently than the teacher I am subbing for does. I feel so stuck as to HOW I'm supposed to work with this student & what the goals are. And sometimes, It's frustrating being a sub. It's kind of like being a ghost. No one to sit by at the staff meetings. Some teachers still don't know my name. This morning, I walked into my room and two other teachers were having a meeting in there. I just went about my ghost business, gettin ready for the day. Then they left. Some days I'll talk to other humans in the teachers lounge and they ACTUALLY don't respond. What. I do have this really wonderfully fabulous co-worker that is my guardian angel and always tells me when I'm doing things that are probably not the best and talks me off the ledge when I'm on the verge of tears and we tell each other funny stories about our students (that involve poop at times). Interruption! SOS! There are four third-grade humans who just walked right into my room and gave me hugs. I can't even. THIRD GRADERS MUST SEE GHOSTS! I love my job.

I'm guessing I'll have it all figured out by the time I turn 30.
