Thursday I have to admit was a good day. The teacher was awesome and the students were well behaved. This teacher was the first person who ever asked me if I smoked. After I said yes, during our break we walked down stairs, through corridors and behind this long gate. There was a patio on dark side of the compound where teachers all sat smoking and bitching about their students. I felt like I was apart of the elite group, this secret society. All the teachers huddling, name dropping students good and bad and giving each other the 411. I asked myself if high school had this secret space on campus. It was amazing.
Of course I still believe this school isn’t the greatest. A fight broke out before school leaving one student in bloody pulp. I only received the details from the students. The day prior my teacher had a substitute and during the day someone in the class swiped her wallet. So the cops came in during one of my presentations which was a bit of a disruption but quickly ended. Overall my day was good.
I went to the coffee shop and did some work. I am confirmed to leave on my next trip on Sunday. I booked my hotels and my car. I then grabbed some dinner. As soon as I got back to my room to my surprise I had the internet. My last night at the hotel and doing all my work at a coffee shop, I finally get the internet. I just laid in bed silently going over my thoughts until I fell asleep.
Today I go back to the classroom from hell and do two presentations and them I drive back to Orlando. I have so much to do tonight and Saturday. On Sunday I’ll be on the road for two weeks straight so this could get really interesting. Stay Tuned my weary readers.

so what you're saying is...that school wasn't so much like Concord?
I have to admit I feel lucky to have gone there and at the time I did.
Seriously, what's happening in schools today? Scary.
