here i go again

well, at this rate, i will write one of these a month--better than none?

so i should be typing a resume right now--i hate where i work. i have been there for 6 years and am burning out. that is never a good sign. teaching is all i can do, i cannot burn out yet!! i am hoping a job in NJ might be available.

Working in the south bronx is not fun at all. one of our kids was killed last week--it was in all the papers. he was the captain of our new football team and was really liked by the kids. i didn't know him--i don't teach freshman, but even i was moved to tears at the wake. There just shouldn't be that many teenagers at a funeral. unfortunetly i am shocked this hasn't happened earlier. Although there was a shooting 5 years ago, but it was on the corner and was not about our kids.

i gotta get out.
