Ready for that Green Holiday...

I don't know what it is, but I hate Valentine's Day. Maybe it was my years of chronic singleness. Maybe it was because the years that I wasn't single, proved to be nothing but a big let down. I don't know. Maybe it's because I decided when I became a professional that I had the right to promote whatever holiday I wanted. If we discuss Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas, why can't we talk about being Irish? Especially living so close to St. Paul, an Irish community? Well, I always thought that we should have a St. Patty's Day party instead of a Valentine's Party.

This leads to the fact that I decorated my classroom (decorated in the loosest terms) for St. Patty's Day. I made a calendar, and I don't know if I like it yet. It was all in silver, but you couldn't read the silver on the light green so I went over it in black. Now I think that I need to go over the dark green in black too, just so it doesn't look bad.

I remembered to pull one of the high schoolers today. Mostly because he saw me yesterday and asked why he doesn't come to see me anymore. It's funny because most of the high school students complain about having to come to speech, and in the last week, two have asked why they don't get to come anymore.

Well, I tried to get through many students today so I would have time for scheduling stuff, and I didn't get to it. I don't know what it is, but that seems to be the hardest thing for me to get to. i may never have updated lesson plans or a co-taught schedule figured out. I wish that I had the day for workshop that the rest of the building has in March. I could get a whole lot of stuff done.

Better get back to work, for a little bit anyway. Then I want to get my happy butt home to not do work related stuff.
