In desperate need of a brightside

I have slept for, maybe, a total of 8-9 hours since Sunday. And it's not looking as if I'm going to add much to that total for the rest of the week.

Today on the way to school, I sat in a steamy and uncomfortable bus as our bus driver tried his best to navigate the bus through literally 6 inches+ of running water thanks to a torrential downpour. There was zero visibility and the bus driver had to keep getting up from his seat to wipe the fog off the windshield so he could see. Nothing like the intense fear that you may die to wake you up in the morning.

For the bazillionth time in a row, it feels as if I'm having to plan a new lesson that has nothing to do with the lesson I had originally planned.

On top of this, today I found out that my class has 6 students who either need to pass the reading or the math state exam to become 6th graders. This means that everything I teach needs to help them or they're repeating the fifth grade in the fall. No pressure!!

On the brightside, yesterday I signed a lease for a 2 bedroom apt on the Upper East Side, literally steps away from Kylie. Woohoo! I have a place to live that is far, far away from Craptown U.
