I have been hearing a lot about all of the snow in Maryland! Actually there are stories about how crazy the weather is in Maryland in the newspapers here! And I can't say that I miss it. It is hot and humid here, in fact wearing pants to work everyday is getting to be a little bit difficult with the heat. I am heading to the beach this weekend because I am in desperate need of a tan and I have a 4 day weekend. But enough with the bragging.
Work is going well. I am starting to really have fun with it and I am actually starting to feel like a teacher. What really makes me feel like a teacher is the discipline issues. While I am not having a lot of problems there are some students that can't seem to keep their mouths shut and listen, but what can you expect from a bunch of teenage boys?! My favorite story so far is the boy who brought his friends old workbook to class and was copying the homework answers right in front of me while sitting in the front row. After I took the notebook from him he informed me that he wasn't copying, just checking his answers. Then all throughout class he was pouting and asking for the notebook back. After class he continued to ask, I said no, that he could beg all he wanted but he couldn't have the notebook back. His final attempt to get it back was by saying, "I won't like you anymore". That was fun! Tomorrow I give an exam, so we will see how the students do, which in turn is at least a partial reflection of my own teaching.
Have fun playing in the snow and i'll have fun laying on the beach!
