I'm still the king of me

It has been chilly here lately. I actually wore a fleece jacket to school on Friday while the other teachers and children donned ski jackets, hats, scarves and mittens. It was a tiring, full, long week complete with new student #3. I'm now at 17 and they tell me the next new student will not be mine!

Got "paid" on Friday and after 120 hours of blood, sweat, and tears, I almost cried right there in my desk chair. I'm not exaggerating my friends when I tell you that 50% of my paycheck was given away to the government and my new super-duper health plan. Now, I'm not green...I've received many-a paycheck and I know how they work...you don't get to keep all of your money. But seriously, I thought maybe at least 70% could mine. This is not cool. I've been jaded all weekend, and while I'm still excited to go in tomorrow, we'll see how much I want to stick around after school. I don't want to be that person, but this is ridiculous.
