So today, around 7 am my back started to hurt. then my leg started to hurt, and the longer the day went on the more my leg hurt. It hurt less if I was standing that if I was sitting, so I stood all day, and was feeling pretty bad by the time brad came to get me. I took some Ibprophren then got in the car, before we got out of winchester I was in excrusiating pain. it was shooting all the way down my leg into my foot and no matter how I sat it would not go away. Brad called his PT and ask what she would recommed, as we both thought my back was out of place. She said she would give me a free screening. I went in, she made me do some exrecises and after seeing the results declared it a herniaded disk. When I left her office the pain was mostly gone, however, I must sit up straight, I am not supposed to sit for long periods of time, I have to lie certian ways, not pick anything up, and don't bend over forward, for a couple of days, which means no volleyball tomorrow night. Howev...

For those of you who might be wondering I am still alive. I have started to settle into my job. I have a room that is starting to look like a real classroom. I have students who are starting to act like real students and not wild animals that have been with out a teacher for weeks. I have started academic team, which I love but does take some time. School is going well now. I still come across things that everyone else knows from previeous meetings and I am just now figuring out, but it is not too bad. most things I got now. My class is up to 16. they can be stressful, but they are mostly great kids who want to learn. At home, brad and I are doing well. We are still dealing with depression, and I have moved on to anger. I have been struggling with the fact that very little makes me joyful right now. SO that is my goal this week and next, til fall break. I am going to look for the joy in each day. and not just hte obvious joy, that christ has saved me and I don't have to go to hell,...

Okay not a lecture, but three people have expressed to me their displeasure at the fact that I have not given enough details about my new job. On Monday the 18th of August, 3 days after school had started, Brad called me from school to tell me that he had heard that there might be a position open in the county. I called the principal and he sounded interested. He asked me to e-mail him my resume. (I offered to come up if he wanted me too and he said jsut e-mail it) so I did as he asked. A little whilre later I found out that I had not gotten the assistance job that I thought i was going to get. I was really upset. I called the principal from my last school and talked to her. Turns out that something I did to one of the teachers on the council made them that person hold a grudge and he/she had talked them in to not hireing me...I was very upset.. She kept saying she would give me a good recomendation if I needed one.. so I told..asked.. strongly requested that she call the other...
