The weather is beautiful and mild here these last few days. The leaves are changing and the colors are truly fantastic this year. It was a hell day at work, but the drive home is so beautiful it takes some of the sting out of it. My student teacher quit (for health reasons), and I was truly sad to see her go. I've had 5 or 6 over the years and this is the first I've had who didn't work out. It's a bummer, but I have one coming for the spring semester. So there is something to look forward to. She seems a little better suited to the stressfulness and unpredicatable nature of teaching in the inner-city. The one that left just had too much going on in her personal life to cope with the added stress of student teaching. After her second meltdown, I can't let her come back. It's just too confusing and disturbing for the students. But, never mind. The leaves are so beautiful and fleeting that I had to take pictures.
To cheer us all up, we went out to eat and took goofy pictures with the camera.
And then, back home to practice piano before bed, with Milo Man, the Chihuahua from Hell, to supervise.
