Wearing My Emotions

When your students tell you, "You don't look well" followed by acting uncharacteristically nice, then it is time to go home.

Disease

Normally I don't get anxious about germs but currently my whole class looks on the verge of sneezing out a new organism.  Plus the hallway smells like vomit....

Cabin Pressure Has Returned to Normal

Well after two days of being sick and one snow day I am back in the classroom.

The students must have noticed that I rarely take sick days because I was greeted with, "How you gonna leave us like that?"

Sick Day

I'm out sick today, so here is a drawing one of my students did monday.  There isn't really anyway to explain this except to say that it isn't nearly as creepy as it looks.

Noodles

*on Friday*

Student: "Mr. I am going to try the noodle diet."

Me: "What is that?"

Student: "It is where you eat nothing but ramen noodles."

Me: "This sounds like a terrible idea.  I did that for a year in college; I would not recommend it."



*On Monday*

Student: "I was sick this weekend"

Me: "....What happened?"

Student: "Well I ate two packets of noodles for lunch on Friday and then three packets for dinner.  Then why I tried to eat on Saturday I was just sick."

Me: "...."

Ain't nobody got time fo' that!

Student: "You know what I just noticed?  You never have a sub."

Me: "Yeah, even when I am sick I almost never take a day off."

Get the Sawdust

Some days you have the energy to take on the world.

Some days you find a puddle of vomit outside your classroom after first hour.

These two things are not mutually exclusive.

Priorities

*Yesterday I had a student run out of my first block while projectile vomiting.  Luckily she grabbed the trash can.  Today she was at school again.*

Me: Why are you here?!?
Student:  We have a field trip today.  I'm not missing that.
