Today was a tough day. The toughest so far this year.

Fielding parent calls, communicating with administrators, getting questioned by administrators, having issues with my computer, not having a lunch. Yargh. My classes were awesome, though, but even that wasn’t enough today, when I felt boxed in from all sides.

All I wanted was a giant hug, and someone to tell me that I’m good at what I do, and they respect and support me as a teacher.
