Attitudes

So that bit about rehearsals being quieter...yeah, if only Guard Girl would go away! I don't know where people get off thinking the world owes them something. Whining only makes me want to work them HARDER! "It's hot out here." "I don't wanna do this." "Can I quit?" Jiminy crickets! My band is already small; it's not like I can afford to lose anyone else. Grr! But what do I do??? It seems like everything I try isn't working. Maybe calling her parents would help. It just seems like these freshmen and sophomores think they're the kingpins and everyone else has to bow down to them. On the flip side, junior high and fifth grade were pretty good today!

I talked to a fellow teacher friend last week, who also had a rough start at her job. It's her fourth year, and things are just now starting to get to the point where she's happy. That made me feel better. It helps knowing I'm not the only one with these struggles! I think I have to put up with them for four more years? Oh no. They have to put up with ME for four more years! HA!!!
