I made it through today alive, and tomorrow ought to actually be pretty easy. I spent the morning howling like a banshee and throwing shit at the walls until somebody finally figured out the field trip tomorrow, and in accordance with my preferences, I don’t have to go. I will have two hours in my classroom– probably a bit more, honestly– covering 25 or so kids who aren’t going on the trip, but that’s nothing, really– a bunch of them won’t show up and I can literally just tell them to go fuck around on their iPads and leave me alone and it’ll be fine. It’s the second day of the quarter so it’s not like they have any work to do. Hell, we can probably even get some work done on the damn door thing. I’ve decided we’re doing the absolute minimum rather than just not participating– I’m going to throw some dark purple paper on the door and find some vaguely Fall-appropriate decorations and maybe have the advisory kids color something and we’re calling it a day. The target here is literally “better than nothing.”

Only two of my classes– maybe two and a half– are actually meeting, and today’s assignment genuinely bit off more than they could chew, so I’ll give them the time to finish off today’s assignment. Maybe a quick extra credit assignment for the ones who are done, we’ll see.

Oh, and I had an actual sex offender added to my classes today, but we’re choosing not to think about that right now. I made it through the day and I only have six more until Fall break. Maybe we’ll think about the sex offender tomorrow.
