Once upon a time…

I used to be really good at striking up conversations in places like this or in chat rooms. Now I feel awkward and lost. 😂

I think years of teaching 8 th graders has taken my soul.

@Lostpoet No kidding. I feel like a zombie after classes most days. I’ll probably be in a nursing home by 50 for being insane. 😁

@Dewkissedrose make the class sit boy girl and watch everyone destroy themselves over who they are sitting next to.

@Lostpoet lol. That would be fun. Although, I do teach for a cyber school so they aren’t in the same room. Probably why it’s more taxing. A lot of difficult/troubled students.

@Dewkissedrose true. But you can mute the kids you don't like. 😸

@Lostpoet have you been in my class? 😂

And … I’m sorry I accidentally kicked you out.

@Dewkissedrose You would have been in your twenties the last time I was in eighth grade. Lol

@Lostpoet seems forever ago. I started teaching right out of college at 22.
