Oh What A Week


So where to start, I guess by saying sorry for not writing for a week, but the week I had was so crazy. It started as a normal good week. I was going to school and things were going well. However the second day of school this week things changed and not for the better. It was a crazy day, to the point as one time I had a student running on (yes on) my desk. Well to say the least I was not in a good mood. Tuesday was Wow is all I can say. The day was so bad it got to the point where I finally left my room crying, because I just couldn’t handle it anymore. This was the first time I thought that maybe I shouldn’t be a teacher anymore.
So I ended up the next morning on the phone to my mom (Yeah for Her) and wrote an email to my regional person here. I didn’t want to go to school since I was scared to see how the day was going to go. However I headed in with the idea to talk to my providers to let them know that I was looking for transfer to another school, if that was not possible them I was considering heading home (America).
The day started the same as Tuesday, I was ready to pack up and leave, however things changed. My providers set up a meeting with my principal and I told her how I was feeling. So she went and talked to the students, and was able to get my support in my room again. After that ADEC came to the school and had a talk with everyone about what was going on. They wanted to how things were going. I have to say that at this time of the day things were going much better.
Thursday, the last day of the work for me, thank goodness. I was still scared to head to school since I was sure what I was in for. I was in luck though, whatever had happened the day before had carried over to Thursday. It was a great day, I was actually able to teach 2 lesson to both my classes. I have luck to have my co-teachers in my room to help me, but even when they were the students seemed to understand that I was the one in charge of the class. I am hoping that this stay like this for the next week, now for my weekend.
So it is Friday the start to my weekend and I am up at 5:00 am. Man I hate when my body get on a schedule. Oh well, I was able to talk to my mom for an hour this morning and then headed to breakfast and then to write lesson plan, until we head to Abu Dhabi to get me a car. So headed to Abu Dhabi, went to Carrefour and then to Home Center. I found a bedroom set that I love, but I see if I get it. Then we headed to the car rental at the Airport and I got one. Brand New Toyota Corolla, (I will get pictures up tomorrow).
