moving away for a year and getting rid of most of my possessions. I think I will have to move somewhere new every few years to satisfy my boredom and stop me from becoming a hoarder.
Conversation of the morning that I overheard in the hallway…
” Have a conversation with your parents. Tell them Mommy I’m getting older I need to start using deodorant. Y’all start stinking up my classroom and it is about time you start taking care of yourself. Spring is in the air.”
Indeed Spring is in the air. Thank god I have next week off.

Yesterday two young boys shot a baby in the head and a mother in the leg three blocks from my mother’s house. I’ve been feeling very sick ever since.

you are allowed to terminate toxic relationships

Lesson planning makes me want to chain smoke cigarettes and pull my own hair out. No wonder no one lasts in the education system. No cigarette breaks.
Mental health day. I just couldn’t possibly face large groups of teenagers this morning.

I have come to the conclusion that I have so much empathy for mankind yet I am very disappointed in most people I encounter. On a lighter note I saw Connor Oberst today in little five points and all of my teenage fantasies came true and life is now a little more complete.
The more I research the more and more I learn that most of the artists I love are communists.
Talking about communism and vaginas in the same class period with a group of high school students makes for an interesting day.

How about you and me just move in together and maybe raise a cat? Taking care of you is all I really want...
