I'm feeling sluggish. Been up since 3:30am. Just couldn't get back to sleep and it was too late (early?) to take melatonin at that stage so I just lay in bed til 4:00am then got up. Lately I've been restricting myself to 2 cups of coffee a day, max, so it's not that. I have a busy mind but I'm certainly not hypo.

I'm feeling a bit more "settled" - or is it "accepting" - about work. I know my difficult class are always going to be difficult and challenging. And I know that if I just keep documenting and recording the kids will get suspended. Eventually. The way they speak to me is revolting. You should have seen how they treated a sub teacher yesterday who was just here for the day. Running around chasing each other in the classroom and they picked up chairs and barracaded the door so no one could get in. He called me (probably the worst person to call) in the last 5 minutes and asked me to help him. I had to literally stand by the other door to stop students from escaping because they were all trying to go out to lunch early.

On another note, I went to an optometrist 3 weeks ago to finally get my eyes tested. I'd been putting it off but have noticed in the last 3 months when driving I'm battling to see signs from a distance. Turns out to be no suprise that I need glasses but my glasses haven't arrived yet. The optometrist is as annoyed as I am and said he's using a new courier company and doesn't know why it's taking so long. Fingers crossed I get them today. Really want them before the weekend! I want to see what it's like to travel a far distance with the glasses on. They're multifocal so I don't need to take them off when reading because I don't need them for that.
