Best Tuesday on Record

For some odd reason, the stars have aligned for me today: best Tuesday ever. For no particular reason at all, my day has just gone off without a hitch. More than that, I genuinely enjoyed almost every minute of today (with the exception of parts of 7th hour, but they can be challenging 11th graders).

My first hour of 10th grade students was wonderful as always; they do exactly as they are told and in fact, even understood most of my jokes today! Total success. I ran to the post office during my 2nd hour prep, always a good thing to sneak off campus for a few minutes just to get a break, and then met with my advisees during a break between classes.

During my third hour prep I received some very good news from my headmaster. He called me to his office to ask if I was willing to be the Mathematics Department Chairperson for next year AND confirmed that my friend Nichole and I will be living off campus next year (something we have been crossing our fingers about but are never sure with him). That is completely unheard of: getting two pieces of good news from him without getting yelled at once while in the office. Score!

To top it all off, my 7th grade class actually worked today! I was literally flabbergasted at the end of the hour with all the things we accomplished in class because they were good. All of the boys in that class who have been literally trying to make my life a living hell (or at least that's how it seems) were not only silent today, but actually trying to work and understand the concepts. It totally rocked my educational socks off.

Great Tuesday, now off to yoga to top the day off. If I can get into a real headstand tonight it will be the day sent from God himself. Let's just hope I don't break my neck in the process!
