La De Da

i am finally uploading my pix to my computer. it took me an hour (maybe more) to figure out the decrepit technology from 1998. and it's been an hour and still pix are uploading. i just want it to be done. it's frustrating. but better than having no camera at all. we're on the wedding night. saturday night. we left wednesday night. almost there.

work's been pretty good. it really sucks being alone with 10 kids or 8 or 9 kids in different combinations. we had a class meeting and i asked if Rb could be my co-teacher, but he's an actor and in a 6 week play in SF and is gonna remain FT sub. i was glad i asked. it was a good meeting. but being alone in the class stinks. my nemesis is making things harder, but gone all next week. but just the combination is rough. it's hard to be in the doorway making sure the group in the potty is doing their thing and not messing around or whatever and to make sure the group already out in the hall already ready to go outside isn't getting too rowdy. argh.

the owner stepped in a few times. she even noted how difficult it was and that we have lots of runners. i changed the room up to try to prevent running but still, they do it. they're so weird. they run in class and then outside they sit in the cave of the tree house, i've tried to do races and they're not into it. whateves. i hope i'm not alone anymore. E starts back from vaca monday. it'll be cool to see how our dynamic works out. Rb will be in there bc i think she's observing or shadowing or whatever. I am going to nominate him for a teacher that inspires. oh, we had to draw sharpie self potraits, mine is pretty poor. i had the kids help me out. they noticed i didn't have ears and i said my hair was covering them. they helped me with freckles but one kid said it looked like i had chicken pox. hah. good stuff.

i talked to 2 of my besties yesterday. one is having a bachelorette party and i wish i could be there at the jersey shore, one is illing and i wish she could come visit me as i just visited her and have had my fill of LA for a bit. my friends and family really mean a lot to me. i just called my moms and bro. i talked to my dad the other day.

i really should really try go to get fingerprints. this is such a pain in the ass. the places are only m-f and i can't get to any of em and back in my lunch time or before or after work. i think i could just go to the police station and be like, uh, could you fingerprint me on this card and sign it so the teachers commission or whoever can see i'm not a criminal. thanks. ugh.

it's supposed to be 90 or higher today. i might go see music, i might rest up for tonight of crafting and par-taying. still on the wedding - as far as pix goes. maybe i can, nope i can't do anything while it's doing it. 54%. i guess i should just come back in like a hour. whoa. i'm hungry.

UPDATE: 6:30 and it's 100 uncomfortable degrees. i am not leaving my house. maybe for the house party tonight, but that's it.
