briefly

Well, I am applying to for the fall term University of Mississippi. Honestly, I am not too thrilled about it. I know I need to go back to school, but I don't know if I honestly want to. I don't know what I WANT to do, but I do know what I am going to do...go to school and teach.
The social worker hasn't contacted my student yet. I don't know if that's good or bad, but I am just waiting it out. Don't know what's going on. The girl is talking to me now. She still says she needs a counselor. I explained everything that would happen if she got one. She said that's fine. We'll see what happens.

Random

It's Spring Break and I am too happy to be away from those children. I love what I do, but I really needed this break. Anyway, I think I messed up. I called DHS for one of my students and I know they are about to turn her life upside down and I don't know how she is going to deal with that. I don't know how I am going to deal with that. I did talk the social worker until waiting until Tuesday so that I can have a chance to talk to the little girl Monday when we get back. I think I at least owe to her to let her know that someone will be contacting her and asking her a slew of questions about some information that she has shared only with me. I pray she is able to get through this. I realize it is going to be hard, but I have to keep telling myself I did the right thing, even though everyone around is saying I messed up. I am only looking out for her best interest.

I spent the last 4 days at home with my family. I stayed at my sister's and I enjoyed that. She was the first person I talked to every morning. That was pretty cool. My neice was and still is sick, so I had to take care of the little gumdrop. She just looked sick. I felt so bad for her. I wanted to dope her up and make it go away , but I didn't. My parents are fine. My daddy is still working hard as ever, and my mom is running her therapist office. I am sooo proud of her. That woman is awesome. Where would I be without her? My biological father is about to remarry. I think he is making a mistake, but who am I to tell him that? I think he is marrying her because she is a good woman, not because he loves her.

My life is good. I am still dating Blair (isn't that the cutest name). I like that boy. He is somewhere in Cali right now and I cannot wait until I can see him again. I am thinking about going back to school. Well, if I get in, I am going back. I am still going to teach, but I am moving to a different district. There is no room for growth here and I am tired of my administrators. I love my kids though. They are the best. I am going to miss them if I leave next year. I am saying if like I might not. Even if I don't get into school, I am leaving because this small town is depressing. Anyway, life is good and I hope everyone has a beautiful day.

Late

I know I am almost a week late, but the Black History Program was great. I was so nervous about it, but it all worked out. The children did exceptionally well. Their costumes were so cute. Phenomenal Woman was by far the best. Ain't I a Woman was cute because everytime she said that part, the children were yelling "Yeah" "Sho'll is". It was so cute. One little girl stumbled on Ain't That Bad. She got nervous, but if you didn't know the poem, you would know she didn't do half of it. She had the attitude at first, then she clammed. I didn't know what to do about a backdrop since I had to cut the skit. I figured I would use black, green, and red paper and put somee siluoettes on it. I didn't have any red, so I used yellow. I know those are somebody's colors, just don't know whose. Then one of my co-workers made a banner. It read "Celebrating Black Headliners and Legends" because that was the theme. It was wonderful. I was elated. I love these children. I am going to hate not seeing them next year.

Everything else is good. I am still dating the guy in Memphis. I like that boy. I gave my parents $1000 when I got my income tax check. That felt really good. I paid my tithes too. I need to buy a washer and dryer and I will be satisfied. I also need to start looking for a summer job.
