Jr. High

I subbed Jr. High today for the first time in ages. It is amazing how different students can be from one grade to the next. As you all know, I love love love subbing sixth grade... but for some reason those kids in 7th and 8th grade just drive me crazy! I am sure it doesn't help that the end of school is only a week away, but man oh man, those kids know how to make my head spin.

Today I subbed at my old Jr. High. It was kind of weird being there. They don't use lockers anymore, my old English class is now the student store, teachers I once had have less hair on top of their head... so strange. I saw a girl crying before school started and I couldn't help but remember that my friends and I were all once that girl. Jr. High was so stinkin' dramatic for no reason at all. I don't even remember why my friends and I fought all of the time. I remember for my birthday in 8th grade a few of my friends bought me thong underwear as a joke.... I was so embarrassed to bring it home I kept it in my locker. The next day all of the thongs were hanging on other people's locker! I was so embarrassed. Later in high school I found out that it was one of my friends that knew my locker combination and broke in. I can't help but laugh thinking about it now.

Sometimes (actually, all of the time) I wish I could hear a voice from above telling me that my resume is being reviewed by a district at this very moment, and I will indeed be getting a job next year. Life just doesn't work like that though I guess.
