The Trough

I really have nothing of interest to write at the moment, given that my brain is mush (only two more hours of teaching left!). I am killing time because dinner, though scheduled for 5:30-6:30, is virtually impossible until at least 5:45, probably 6:00. Why? Because children are mangy screaming animals! If the line is not moving at the pace they desire, they attempt to speed things up by walking in to you seven times. If they are at the hot dog station and see something they want at the sweet station, they run like madmen to poke their hands onto all of the desserts, not stopping for anyone who gets in their way.

It is not much better in the classroom, thanks to our rotating chairs. The funny thing is that they only time they stay still and are quiet is when you want them to move quickly from one place to another.
