if you cannot be unafraid, be afraid & happy

Teacher of 13-year-olds. Not a Gryffindor, that's for sure because she's back in Slytherin baby! Probably too old to be reading YA lit but ya' know. Writes about ghosts and telepathy with nerdy boys.

I needed my kids to stand on the edge of a circle that was carved into our courtyard, and they immediately got down on their knees bowing and pretended they were making a sacrifice, and I had to just stand there and try to not laugh because the activity we were about to do was actually quite serious--

And that folks is the hardest part of teaching

I'm BACK baby!! Screw that Gryffindor nonsense.

Now I can finally change my Tumblr bio.

Next time I think my day was difficult, I'm going to think of the poor seventh grader who had his first day of middle school today and had a huge bloody nose in front of an all-school assembly and who then lost his bus pass and didn't know how to get home.

Losing interest in something you once loved but for once it's not due to depression is. Different.

If italics usually signify flashbacks... Is there an equivalent for flashforwards? How does one easily show that a scene is happening in the future?

I really want to avoid having a tag for it (like, "now" or the year it's taking place) but there might not be a way.
