About a month ago, I was asked if I could teach an afterschool algebra intervention class. I don't know what I was thinking but I agreed. It is only two days a week for an hour and 15 minutes and pretty good money but it is absolutely miserable. There are about 6 of these classes offered. It is for students who are failing or in danger of a failing their Algebra I class. My partner and I got the lowest level students. I am not kidding. They took all of the students who were recommended for this class and gave us the lowest 24 kids. Most of these kids don't even want to be in their regular math class, let alone in an afterschool class.
This year really has been probably my most difficult year of teaching. Even more difficult than my first year, I think. Those of you who are close to me, I apologize for all of the complaining that I have been doing. I am just completely drained. Is it close to June yet?
On a happier note, we saw Twilight last night. Kim, Jeana, Paige, my friend Toni and I couldn't wait. Surprisingly, it was really good. I was not sold on the actor who plays Edward. I envisioned Edward as being cuter. After about 10 minutes into the movie, I realized I was wrong. He actually gets cuter as the movie progresses. The actor was perfect. I told my mom that I would go back and see it with her. Kim also has to go back because she went to the bathroom during the movie and missed their first kiss. Those of you who have read the book know about the first kiss. You can't miss it. If anybody wants to see it and doesn't have anybody to go with, let me know.
