and I am NOT a crier!

So I was the first one on staff to cry...which is something that I am a little upset about but it couldn't be helped. Take 22 high school scholars...half of them want to be there...the other half do not. Put them all in a dorm sized room in which you spend the majority of the day...keep in mind the AC doesn't work so well...add the fact that it has rained every single day. You have floor space in which to work with but that space soon is unusable as the air conditioner broke and leaked who knows how much water on to the carpet. I spend my days standing in class as I have given up my seat (which was a table) to a scholar. Add to the fact that the scholars who have a bad attitude and think that this is your idea of fun and that you aren't doing all you can to try and get another room. Plus 3 girls who come to you crying because they aren't having a good time and want to go home...as well as an scholar with autism who has decided not to take his meds this week and often has inapproprite/unpredictable outbursts if he's not sleeping through the class.

I'm sorry...I'm tired. Just hoping these last few days of this session go fast.
