i made a ream of paper's worth of copies after school today. i made so many copies that when i emerged, all the other teachers had left for the day, and i was all alone with a smear of black copy ink on my face.

and then i got bad news. someone else's bad news, but that doesn't mean that it hurts me any less than if it was me. in fact, it probably hurts worse.

in other news, there is a problem in my classroom that i'm not going to talk about, and my class will probably be shifting around at least by a couple students sometime next week. (it all has to do with enrollment and all the maneuvering that has to be done to keep class sizes right.)

stress stress stress!! i am the stress pig.
