Every morning I walk to work. During the summer, I can do it in peace and quiet. There are no children around. When school starts, however, such as this week, the streets become noisy with schoolkids running around, fighting, screaming, swearing, bumping into me and throwing their rubbish on the floor. So, sometimes I wish summer would never end!

I had a good summer, so I'm going back with a good attitude. We've been back for two weeks. The teachers came back for a week before the students did. Then we had the first week of class. I think I have some really enthusiastic students this semester, so that makes things fun for me. Some students are in two classes with me so that means we will spend 12 hour a week together. I'm sure they'll be sick of my face before too long. : ) Maybe you should ask this question again in December. I'll probably have a different answer then. : ) Already my mailbox is full of assignments for me to grade.

I feel depressed nd angry!

Teachers are usually still enthusiastic at this stage with lots of creative teaching ideas and high hopes for their students.

Horrified. I hate it. And besides, I need a vacation from my vacation.
