Only teachers get the whole August panic. The whole "Ahh, I haven't done NEARLY enough and my job is going to resume which means my life will end which means I need to simultaneously suck every second of enjoyment out of my remaining summer days while also getting ten thousand things done for school" mode.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14865823168822218228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30079493.post-39247810346960202242009-08-08T16:14:37.516-07:002009-08-08T16:14:37.516-07:00you make my almost happy to not have a full time j...you make my almost happy to not have a full time jobbernthishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905337047538489562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30079493.post-36799313672896376152009-08-07T15:44:08.861-07:002009-08-07T15:44:08.861-07:00I just wanted to weigh in a vote against becoming ...I just wanted to weigh in a vote against becoming an alcoholic ;-). Which isn't a vote against all alcohol ever, just against addiction or compulsion or consumption to the point of health problems and negative social consequences.

And the chocolate? <br /><br />Seriously though, second years are always easier, even if the work load is way higher. And if you EVER need help with the French, even if it's just for an extra pair of eyes on the material, I'm happy to serve you a lovely glass of French wine and chat it over with you.

It can be a crazy situation, but it's how you choose to respond to the crazy situation that will keep you afloat. Detach and treat it like a movie that you're watching. If French Class falls flat on its butt, then maybe they'll think twice before giving it to you again.Nanny Goats In Pantieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019800312349427823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30079493.post-2655607584164101072009-08-06T12:58:25.545-07:002009-08-06T12:58:25.545-07:00Good luck!Good luck!fjdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30079493.post-46324965368580060652009-08-06T11:56:34.767-07:002009-08-06T11:56:34.767-07:00I'll be right there with you to help in whatev...I'll be right there with you to help in whatever way I can. Not the same as not having French, I know, but hopefully even a tiny help is better than none. And yes, it IS a compliment to you and all your qualifications, and yes, you should DEFINITELY refuse to teach French again in the future. Hrmph! Hrmph, I say.

Ballroom dancing won't require you to correct papers. If you need help with French, remember that I am a Spanish teacher and our lessons are literally interchangeable! I'm happy to help you out.<br /><br />My advice, use as many lessons over again that Lindzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17454643955608968666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30079493.post-22188272339696886072009-08-06T08:44:43.443-07:002009-08-06T08:44:43.443-07:00I encourage the wine as well.
