You
are listening to jazz -- Your
first day at work is great. Your fellow teachers are wonderful, your
classroom is cute, you love your students, and your principal is the
best!
Phase
2:
You
are listening to pop music -- After
a while you are so busy that you are not sure if you're coming or going
anymore.
Phase
3:
You
are listening to heavy metal -- This
is what you feel like after ONE month.
Phase
4:
You
are listening to hip hop -- You
become bloated due to stress, you're gaining weight due to lack of
exercise because you are so tired and have so much school work to do
and, when you do get home, you feel sluggish and suffer from
constipation. Your fellow teachers are too cheerful for your liking and
the walls of your classroom are closing in. You have started thinking
'WHATEVER' about your principal.
Phase
5:
You
are listening to GANGSTA RAP -- After
more time passes, your eyes start to twitch and you forget what a 'good
hair day' feels like as you just fall out of bed and load up on
caffeine.
Phase
6:
You
are listening to the voices in your head -- You
have locked your classroom door to keep people out. You wonder WHY
you are even here in the first place and WHY you became a teacher!
