I was on my way home from Starbucks (where I no longer work, by the way) and I turned on the "80s... and more " station and was treated to a rare double-header of Queen. I don't know why, but listening to random Queen songs on the radio cheers me up.
I discovered school politics today. Apparantly the position of pre-AP/Honors teacher was coveted by someone else, someone who was looked over. I asked why me, and my assistant principal liked how I "think outside the school" sometimes by bringing in life outside the Third Ward into my class. Hey, I'm just being me. I can see now that I'm going to be the rebel of my hallway. Bwa ha ha.
I look forward to this new crop of kids. I haven't told my present kids, however, and had to bite my tongue when they were asking me about assignments that extended past this week. I can't tell them yet - I don't think the pre-AP teacher knows herself, plus a letter will be going out to all of the kids. I'm sure I'll be bombarded soon enough with questions of, "Don't you like us anymore" and "Why?" from my kids. By Monday the transition will be complete (wow, I can hear Darth Vader saying those words). Matt is coming into town (yea!) to visit this weekend, and he will be put to work - I have to move all the shit from my classroom to this new one and decorate it. Fun times.
