Tuesday Tell-All

*I’ve always thought that I have pretty great luck in life. Apparently that all changed this week. My car sputtered and slowly died this morning while I was still 4 blocks away from the school, I had a minor panic attack while giving plasma last night that required them to put an oxygen mask on …

*Okay, I know I said I wasn’t going to try to talk about student teaching so much, but my paper load is seriously becoming kind of unbearable. And now I finally know what all my English teachers were talking about…I’ve spent over 6 hours in the last two days going over one-page rough drafts, and …
