Names

So. I'm grading tests.

I was at the school til 6 last night gradeing tests. These tests are awful.

I EVEN let them use their notes. I'm pretty sure that the average for my first block is a 76.

Lame.

Annoying.

These students are usually my favorite class. I'm a little upset. Not going to lie.

Names I won't be using for my children.

Chris, Whitney, Jada, Nicole, Colin, Darion...

It's like this episode of "How I Met Your Mother." Lilly has certain names that she refuses to use for her children because of their crazy antics in class.

I refuse to use these names because they make me want to pull my hair out.

That's the life of a teacher.

On Kidd Kraddick this morning, they've been talking about names.

I LOVE NAMES! I love knowing the meaning of names.

I have a baby girl name picked out. I HOPE I never meet a student with this name.

Check out www.NameBerry.com.. It has a fun blog on it.

I like it.

I like it alot.

Also, by the name that people call you, it changes your personality. Its not astrology. It Nameology. It's like the power of confession.

By what you are called daily, creates who you are.

That is why our family chose not to call my adopted brother Rueben. It means "My Misery."

No, thank you.

This is the website to find out what your name means about your personality.

I'm going to take a break and check out my name.

Post me yours!

It's supposed to be eerily true!

......................................................................................

Your first name, Faith, creates an independent, forthright, practical nature.

You desire to work on your own or to occupy positions of authority where you have opportunities to organize an area of interest and where your decisions are heeded.

You want to be successful financially and have an interest in investments and stocks.
Being consistent and stable in your nature, you are decisive, capable, and efficient, though not always tactful in expressing your opinions.

Your appreciation of art and music is focused around how to make these activities into viable financial opportunities.

At times, you create misunderstandings with others as it is not easy for you to be diplomatic.
Although the name Faith creates the urge to be creative, independent, and self-sufficient, we point out that it causes a materialistic, somewhat self-opinionated approach that frustrates higher humanitarian qualities.

What do you think? Is this me?

What or Who are you?

Mondays

Sometimes, Mondays are not so awful.

When I start off with such an awesome class. I love my 5th block.

There are some attitudes, but for the most part they're all sweethearts. Nothing that wearing a great pair of shoes can't fix.

Test days are a great way to start and end the week. They're just so easy. I monitor. And when the students are finished they put they're heads down. Or just talk to their friends. Its simply wonderful.

Last week, one student put his head down after the test and fell asleep. That's normally ok. Except that he started snoring. Loudly. It was funny. He is such a sweetie though that we just poked him and woke him up... He started snoring again 5 minutes later. He had a stuffy nose. He wasn't feeling well.

I hope he did well on the test.

That's the only thing I dislike about testing days. Grading. I get soo much done while they're testing, but then I have so much more to do.

Grades are due this next Monday. I'm suddenly feeling awfully behind.

I love my friends. I'm so thankful for them. Many of them are teachers and they understand exactly how I feel. That's such a good feeling.

Even though Boyfriend doesn't always get it, he at least listens and tries to fix it.

It's nice having people beside you to hold your hand through the tough stuff.
