I must say having the portable CD player is a great help. I can block out unnecessary conversation. I am trying my hardest not to go to the lunchroom and engage in idle chat. It's all about work. I'll unwind when I come home, work is done at work. I should have been doing this for a long time, but nothing happens before its time.

I went to see "Rent" this weekend and it has further emphasized to me how much I need my car. I'll get it soon.

I'm glad I have a resource person. A friend of mine did a course similar to the Dip Ed in England and she just has so many cool ideas. So I took a few of her own and adapted them to these pickney ah have in school dere, and I hope this term in a great one.
