I am sitting right now with my new little nextbook (thanks J for a very useful birthday present) at McD. I fund free wifi, and a place I can plug this machine in, which is good, as the battery will only last so long.
This means I can at least be on and around an hour or so a day Monday through Friday most weeks. After school is out I will be back on a lot more of course.
So far work is going well, I did get bit yesterday. Special needs kids do that sometimes, although I will admit, I didn't see it coming. Didn't break the skin, I will be fine. Tomorrow I go on a field trip with 2 other kids, will be an interesting day!
I won't have time to read much on here, so pls, tell me what all is going on my friends!

@arthurchappell yeah, there is a certain level of stress to it that I knew was coming, yet still didnt fully expect, I am glad the days are only 7 odd hours, I couldnt handle much longer.

@Jessicalynnt It's good that you did not get your skin broken, it's always a risk.

I got a nice bruise, but no skin broken so not a huge deal

@AbbyGreenhill part of the problem is training, I need to get in the class on safe restraining and stuff, but it wasnt offered till this summer, I got signed up for it though. Annoyingly I figured this out via a coworker and on my own, no 'supervisor' or anything told me. Which they should have, another teacher took me aside and told me, she wanted to be sure I knew it was required. Which is what gets me, if it was required, then why did no one official TELL me that. That fact pisses me off a bit, glad someone bothered to tell me

I have been bit once this year. Did not break the skin but did bruise. I am looking into how to keep income when school is out. I will let you know what I learn. I did get a wifi hotspot through straight talk for when I want to be online away from home.
