Teacher you NEED one of these!!

Last week, at the end of the day I saw one of my students wasn’t done with her math so I went over and sat by her desk because she was needing a little extra attention. She starts telling me that her mom had a baby while we were off track and the baby can’t come home yet because she’s too little.

So I tried to ask her some questions but she didn’t understand or know the answers—especially in English. Then she starts saying “Teacher you are soo nice. Teacher your are the best teacher. Teacher you never yell at us. (Yeah Right) Teacher I love you I wish you were my mom.” I’ll admit it’s a little flattering. Then she asks me “Teacher why you have no daughter?” and I just smiled at her. Then her eyes got really big “Teacher I know…” and she was pinching her index finger and her thumb together and she said “Teacher my mom gets this thing and when you use it if it gets an X you get a baby but if it gets a zero…not baby! “ Then she looks at me so seriously and says “Teacher you NEED one of these!!”

I am positive she went home and asked her mom if she could buy me one of those sticks with the magic X so I can have a baby. I’ve been laughing for days.

Ms. Master's

So I've been working on getting my master's degree for the last 2 years. It has made life pretty busy and I'm definantly getting BURNED OUT. After sitting through 3 hour classes week after week, I keep asking my friends for a spare pencil to poke my eye out but no one has helped me out yet. It has only been barable because I do have good friends sitting through it with me. I've had three teachers that are sooo boring and I just want to hold up a sign that says "I don't care what you teach me--Oh, the world is flat after all. That's great--Now Give Me An A! so I can get a raise"

So in my class I sit on the computer and update my blog until--HOLY CRAP the teacher just called my name and I didn't know what to say!! I did give a pretty good answer though but it will take a few minutes for my heart to stop pounding. AHH!!
