So, after 5th period today my teacher sent me home. He was convinced I would get him sick, so he got rid of me, both for my sake and probably his. I have to admit, I was relieved. I could have made it through the day, but it wouldn't have been pretty or at all enjoyable.
I. hate. being sick. Sneezing is really high on my list of things I hate, somewhere right around singing in public and going to the dentist. But my housemates are (almost) all very sympathetic, and I did enjoy my nap this afternoon. I'm at starbucks now because I had to email Mr. Stith--he's coming for my first observation Wednesday--and there's a very nice man sitting near me. He heard me sniffling and expressed his sympathy: "allergies are terrible this time of year!" I corrected him that I "just started teaching" and that my kids have already gotten me sick, and he asked if I was a kindergarten teacher.
Why am I NOT a kindergarten teacher?
Anyway, it warmed my heart. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that my hair doesn't do anything other than pigtails, so that's the "ewww I just woke up" hairstyle I'm rocking right now. Anyway, I'm going back to bed now... yes, at 7:45. Being a grown-up is lame!

Geesh. I am glad you wrote on my blog so that I could fall in love with your stories all over again. No, it isn't creepy that you read it. It makes me really happy actually. Now, I can start reading yours!
Thanks for your prayers. I sincerely mean that.
Your immune system will build itself soon. But yea...the sickness comes with the job. :)
PS. I tried and failed. How do I get one of the awesome layouts like you have for my blog? I got to the site, copied the code, and had no idea where to put it.
feel better chica!!!
Guess who else you got sick! :-\ Ah well. I'm not a teacher yet. :)
