Admitting Defeat

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.
