Dear So and So

[alexis_the_tiny]

Dear Coworkers,

Stop telling me I always get the "good" kids. Three years in a row I've had the "good" kids? Really?! Maybe my students do well because I set expectations and goals for them and hold them accountable. You never hear me say, 'My students can't do that," about anything academic.

It's true, they can't shut up or walk in a straight line, and I seem to recall you saying that you didn't want several of my students. So are they the "good" kids or not? And why did you want to place some of your discipline problems in my room, if "We're all the same."

Maybe a little self reflection is in order here.

Veronica, you're an awesome kind of teacher. I had one in my final year of high school when I was an angry, maladjusted and underachieving teen. She saved my butt and I passed my graduation exams. You guys are the kind of teachers I hope to be one day for my students...

Dear sternum or clavicle bone or whatever you're called...

Please stop bothering me! You're supposed to stay in the place you settled and not cause me annoyances.. AGGHHGGH...4yrs have passed since you became part of my life and obviously you're not going away any time soon.

Because of you, i'm not sure about falling at tomorrow's race...

Also, I shouldn't be limited in the movements I can do...

Annoyed mtn biker....

Anyone have any suggestions???? I'm getting tired of this....

Dear Self,

for G0d's sake remember to replace your rear derailleur cable before it starts falling apart. You forgot last time too, remember? Trying to push it out of that itty bitty tiny hole with 5 strands still intact while the remains of the ones that broke off are randomly curling around being obnoxious is so not a good way to spend an hour. You do not have to wait until everything else is malfunctioning. New cables are just nice to have, you know?

Dear universe--
Please lay off my mom's side of the family. Grandmother and great aunt both have aspiration pneumonia and it's not looking good in either case. And please be kind to Great Aunt C. The last year and half haven't been kind--she's lost her husband, two brothers-in-law, and is set to lose two sisters sometime soon. Stop. Please. And in both cases, if it has to happen, make it quick.
