Fine, I admit it, I seriouly suck at updating this. It has been amost a month since my last post. I'm a lazy ass, so what. I've had lots of trials and tribulations in the past month that have kept me as busy as a sweatshop worker.
So, since this last post, I got called back to Oak Park Schools, but originally not the high school. I was called back to the desolate wilderness that is the Oak Park Academy, the alternative school for kids who can't "handle it" in the regular school. This was a trip, let me tell you...
I first expected to see tumbleweed fly past me in the hallways, as I first walked into the school. The "sheriff" of this one delinquent town was an old doctor guy who should of retired years ago. He greeted me, slapped a deputy sherrif badge on me and sent me on my way. As I walked though the hallway, I met the only other teacher in this school who warned me of stories of students who poured urine into the radiators and threw text books out of the windows. I truly was worried that the prisoners would be running this place.
On my last day of "professional development" at the academy, I was sent over to the high school for one last hoopla of school crap. I walked into the school, went into the office, and was greeted by an angel of school administration, the high school principal. At that point, I was parolled from the academy, and regained my position back at the high school. An entire gaggle of monkey were lifted off my back, and I breathed a sense of relief as I knew that my next year would be ok.
So, after a summer of job searching, sweating over how to pay a mortgage, and dreading having to work post-season at the good 'ol metro beach, I am free.
Free at last, thank God, I'm free at last!
