28 school days to the end of classes

But who's counting, right? I almost hate them. My students. I'm so sick of them that it's all I can do to keep my attitude in check and get to the work. I don't mean all of them, of course. But most. The senior-itus is running rampant throughout the school and their attitudes don't help the rest of the student body. And the springlike weather isn't helping, either. Luckily, it's a 3 day weekend and I'll have time to rest and sort through my thoughts. Like always, I'll remove the bad ones and allow the good ones to rise above the rest. I'll grade papers and prep for next week. On Tuesday, I'll go to school and be happy to see my students. On Wednesday, I'll do another count on the calendar to pick up my spirits. On Thursday, I'll hate them again. Friday will give me another opportunity to get myself together and this will go on until classes end, exams are graded, report cards are filed, graduation is over, Regents exams are done and, at the end of June, I'll fall flat on my face. Another school year.
