This one was almost cheating. I knew the teacher, I knew the class would behave. Hell, I knew where a lot of the stuff in the room was already. I’d helped put the thing together. How much better does it get?
Well, they could have brought me cookies. That didn’t happen. But they did do their work without complaining. They behaved. Except for one kid, and I learned later that there were good reasons for that. If I had known I would probably say that he behaved too.
I mean, these kids were excited about learning grammar. The only thing weirder than that is that I was excited about teaching it. Raise your hand if you saw that one coming.
Low points of the day: she originally wanted Kayleigh to sub[1], and I might have broken a girl’s heart when I think she asked me out. Well, asked me to write my name in her agenda which is the same thing at that age if you ask me. If every job could be this easy I wouldn’t have a thing to worry about at all.
- I’m really stretching for that. I’d pick the certified teacher of the non-certified sub guy too [↩]

Dude, I really dig these journals. It's healthy to know what I'll most likely be doing for a bit after I graduate.

I'm glad someone is reading them besides my mommy. Just wait until I get into the middle school stuff. That's where it gets really fun.

I love that you had a great day! I was beginning to think they had it in for you, with all the bad days I had been reading from your journal!
