I keep waiting but the days don't seem to be getting any better. I think I've turned into one of those cranky teachers, complaining about "these kids today!" I had a lot of conferences with students, and most of them went well. But then I had to chew out one student for being such a sh*t in class. I think I could have handled it better, but I always think I can handle these events better. The trick is to grow from them and not brood as I am wont to do. As I like to say, "things would be so much easier if I didn't care."
Okay, in other news, I have been salivating over this
book which depicts many layout sketches from Ghibli films. Last summer there was a big exhibit in Tokyo where I could have seen them in person (I wonder how good the security was...). The images are so amazing! But 50 bucks plus another 40 for shipping! egad! I will have to stop yelling at students so santa will bring me one.

Santa -- LOL.
Yes, things would be so much easier if we didn't care. Considering that there seem to be a lot of unrepentant bastards out there, I wonder why I can't be one of them. Perhaps I have to kill something inside me first. I know you are a good teacher, so I take your complaints with a grain of salt. Me, I'm always finding ways to be lazier, but I know that.
The Ghibli book sounds amazing. I would salivate as well.
