No Internet! I feel disabled.

Unsure why I don't have internet in my apartment anymore. It decided to die on me sometime last week. We're supposed to have a technician from Time Warner to check the place out but he can't come until this Saturday. All my internet use is restricted to Pace University's computer lab and work. However, at work, I can't gchat with people or log onto eHarmony.

I have to say, I'm still quite disappointed by the matches showing up on my homepage. I found one potential and even he's a stretch. Although...he's pretty funny.

Work has been lackluster and utterly unmotivating. My coworkers continue to get on my nerves with their uncharming behaviors. The students are still nasty, in case anyone was wondering if any more changes were occuring. Yesterday, one of my boys was ganged up on by 5 other boys, all 8th graders. Most of them were in the Special Ed class but one boy was a former student of mine. Lucky for them, the victim's mom is also the school aide who supervises that lunch period. She called the police and all 5 were taken down to the precinct. They spent yesterday night and will spend tonight in juvy, which is supposed to be amazingly terrifying.

On the bright side, a grant that I wrote to donorschoose.org got fully funded! I can't wait for my new classroom set of "Monster" and free post-its. I'm obsessed with post-its so I'm actually more excited about that than the actual books.
