Leo Fitz had never planned on being a high school teacher, but here he is. Now his only goal is to survive the next 10 months, but with his flat mate's girlfriend working in the same building, and an incredibly cute colleague across the hall, that may prove to be more difficult than he'd ever imagined.
Or, the FitzSimmons High School Teachers AU that I started ages ago, basically abandoned, and now refuse to let die.
Enjoy!
there is officially 180 days till black widow releases
Life Update - [10.October.2018]
I am back from my hiatus and next week it's back to uni for me~!
As you saw in my last post (Which I am having a lot of trouble with because the post does not show up in any of the tags... Even after posting it again. Did you ever experience that?) I officially moved! My moving as a college student - on a budget, series will hopefully be up sometime this month.
Other than that... I am going to find out whether or not I will be able to study russian on Monday and ahhh wish me luck! Russian would be my 4th language (Or 5th if you count Latin... yeah I also really suck at Spanish but that's a whole other story).
This semester is really important for me. I am having some of my last big exams and just thinking about it makes me nervous. However I will give it my all!
Now to the biggest challenge... My ~180 days challenge.
Something very exciting happened in my personal life and with this in mind I am going on a journey. This journey is very important and challenging, but I want to... no! I need to do this and I want you guys to be a part of it.
This is going to be my journey to finally accept myself and to love myself again.
I don't really like myself, like at all, and it has gotten to a point where I can't live like this anymore. I have about ~180 days... maybe more... maybe less... I know that this is just the start and you can't put a timer on these things, however I need to start building a foundation. I need to stop putting myself down. I want to look into a mirror again and be ok with what I see. I want to be able to trust again and believe that I am enough.
180 days of acceptance.
I can't wait to reach the other side of this. I finally found a motivation strong enough for me to do this.
And just thinking about why I am doing this makes me want to cry tears of joy.
I don't want to waste another day, another year. I want to have confidence in myself. I want to be truly happy again.
So this is it... I will be posting a lot more personal things that aren't only studyblr and law related and I will tag them using the tag #180days
Remember:
Your worth can not be measured in your looks, your weight, your past, your intelligence or anything like that. You are the best version of yourself and you are worth it. You are enough.
It's time that all those things are not just things we say, but things we truly believe.
I love you guys so much.
Cherry.

Adult: Beartown. Little Fires Everywhere. The Outsider. The Martian.
Graphic Novels: Saga. Speak.
Academic/Teaching Books: 180 Days. A Novel Approach.
2. Worst book you read so far this year. The President is Missing. Just not my thing, too long and too much about hacking. Not bad, just not my favorite - I’ve had a solid year of reading so far!
3. Completed any series? I don’t actually think so - I’m almost done with a re-listen of Harry Potter... and I started or read the second or third book of several series this year (Six of Crows, Thunderhead, Patina, Changes, etc.).
4. Anticipated read for the second half of the year. Oo, so many.
YA: Neverworld Wake, All Rights Reserved, Thirteen Minutes, How I Resist, Meet Cute, Darius the Great is Not Okay, Dry...
Adult: Us Against You, The Fact of a Body, Educated...
5. A book that disappointed you. Text Me When You Get Home - great premise, solid introduction/first chapter, then fell apart for me. Rebound - didn’t live up to what I wanted from a prequel of The Crossover.
6. How many books have you read so far this year? 83
7. A book that made you laugh. Leah on the Offbeat; Nice Try, Jane Sinner
8. Estimated read count for the year? My Goodreads challenge is set at 150 - I’m slowing down right now during wedding planning, so depends on how many books we read on our honeymoon!

180 Days - March - Sneak Peek
“So, explain to me why, if my daughter was failing your course, you never called me?”
Jemma stared across the table at Mr. Chanda, throttling back her impulse to roll her eyes and ask if she were speaking English. She’d explained this to him countless times - over the phone, via email, and twice tonight - but Jemma was willing to give it one more go. If only because Coulson was standing at the front of the cafeteria wearing his “please the parents” smile.
“Mr. Chandra, I update student grades every Friday afternoon. You can access all of Tiffany’s grades in real time using the login information Ms. Johnson gave you at the start of the year.”
“How am I supposed to know what any of that means?”
“Well, the percentage, along with the letter grade, is displayed on the student’s dashboard as soon as you sign in.”
“That’s a lot to ask of parents. It would be much simpler if you just called me when she started doing poorly!”
Jemma bit back a sigh and glanced toward poor Tiffany, who was doing her best to sink in on herself while her father nattered on. She briefly considered outlining everything about his request that was outlandish - from the fact that she had nearly 200 students to the free app parents could use - but quit on it. He clearly was simply spoiling for a fight, and Tiffany looked embarrassed enough as it was. Someone had to be an adult here, and clearly it had to be Jemma.
“While I would like to consider that, Mr. Chandra, district policy states that I have to communicate via the portal and email,” Jemma lied smoothly, giving the befuddled father a tight smile. “They want a clear record, you understand. I do promise you that I will make sure Tiffany’s grade is updated every Friday afternoon, and if you have questions you can email me at any time.”
Jemma scrawled her email on a Post-It and handed it to Mr. Chandra as he stood up from the table. He looked a bit confused, as though he wasn’t entirely sure what had just happened, but had no choice other than to accept it. Tiffany, looking relieved, ushered her father away to find another teacher to harangue. Jemma hoped that for her sake, it was to someone who taught a class she was performing well in.
Glancing to her right, Jemma could see that Fitz was being subjected to similar treatment; an intimidating blonde woman was leaning across toward him, her finger tapping against the table to emphasize her point. To his credit, Fitz was holding his own, and Jemma felt a small burst of pride. He’d come a long way from the beginning of the school year.
Seeing that no one else was waiting to talk to her, Jemma waited until the blonde stalked off before sliding into the spot across from Fitz. He looked startled to see her there, but quickly gave her a smile. Relief bloomed in Jemma’s gut; they had patched things after she’d discovered his recent job search, but they weren’t entirely back on an even keel. Any sign that they were headed that way was appreciated.
“Hey, Jemma. How goes?”
“Not bad,” she answered, returning his smile. “If you consider being blamed for every D and F I’ve ever given part of the job. You looked like you were being worked over yourself.”
“Yeah, I was. Apparently, ‘m meant t’ give extra credit whenever a student asks. Mrs. O’Sullivan was quiet upset t’ hear tha’ I dinnae give extra credit opportunities. She thinks it’s unconscionable, an’ has decided t’ take it up with the administration.”
Jemma was a bit surprised at Fitz’ calm demeanor given the story he was relating. She knew veteran teachers that would be shaken by something like that; Fitz was entirely relaxed. He was even smirking a bit.
“Oh?” Jemma queried, arching a brow.
“I may have suggested she address her concerns t’ Melinda May.”
Jemma outright giggled at that. May was notorious for her flat refusal to bend to parent demands. She claimed that she was merely supporting teachers in their decisions, but the faculty who had been around for a few years suspected that she took pleasure in putting pushy parents back in their place.
“You are a bad, bad man,” she teased with a wide grin.
“Bad man, hmm? Dinnae suppose tha’ means a nice girl like y’ would wan’ t’ grab a drink with me after this then.”
The sparkle in his eye made Jemma’s breath catch and sent her stomach turning end over end. It really wasn’t fair how easily he could do that to her, not when she knew he might be leaving the city - if not the state itself - in a few months. Allowing herself to be pulled in even further was a recipe for heartache.
But damn if she was going to lose any time with Fitz while she still had him.
