Chaos and Cupcakes

So Wednesday was the last day at Spicewood for many people. My friend Shea's long term sub job ended and it was the new batch of interns last day was well. I decided to be nice and take Shea some flowers. They were just one of a few bouquets that she received that day. In addition to flowers it seemed there was a plethora of cupcakes as well. In every corner I turned someone was offering me a cupcake. But I was strong. I had only 2 cupcakes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

I was in a class that I had subbed for before. They are a really bright group but I established an atmosphere early on with them that was humor rich and rather lax. So needless to say it was cray cray. Going from fun to fun with rules is a lot harder than it sounds. I just had to put my foot down. That's when I know I am becoming a better teacher. When I am no longer worried about being there best friend instead of an authority figure. I mean it is important for your kids to like you but you have to put learning first.

After school Shea and I went to have dinner. She needed to kill some time and I had nothing else to do. We went to Chili's and gabbed about life and our pending unemployment status. Since I had 2 cupcakes I decided to order a salad. I must say that it was the best salad that I have ever had in my life. I always enjoying sitting and chatting with a friend one on one.
