Out of it

The kids are back in school and once again my days are filled with "Aww, but Miss" and "Fuck that!" (not to me, but I overhear it a lot!) and "Miss, can I?" and "I don't know.", etc.

Don't you wish you had my life?!

I know, I know! It's okay to be jealous.

I have been trying to keep my sanity, but yesterday I was not so lucky.

First off, I almost SLAMMED myself into a wall/pillar yesterday. I was walking to the library and I wasn't really looking where I was going (I was eyeing a student, making sure he wasn't doing anything he's not supposed to be doing), finally I turned back to face the front and stopped! I was at that exact moment ONE INCH from a big ass pillar. I don't know what I was thinking. But seriously y'all if I hadn't stopped, it would have been really bad. I was walking pretty fast at the time. Just to emphasize, we're talking possible broken nose action.

However, I didn't slam into the pillar, so all is okay!

Then later in the day (still yesterday), I was so out of it, I let my class out 20 minutes early. Of course, none of them said anything to me. It wasn't until they tried leaving the office area that our office manager was like "Where are y'all going?" and sent them back to my lab. At that point, I was like, "oh yeah, there's still 20 minutes left to class. Get back to work." Sheesh!

I wish I could say I just hadn't gotten enough sleep, but that's not really true. I slept pretty well Wednesday night and wasn't sleepy. Tired, sure. But when is that NOT the case?

Regardless, I'm better today. I hope!
