Karma?

Apparently, I was a very bad being in a previous life. Not only does my schedule suck and I still don't have class lists and the kids arrive tomorrow, but:

1. My MP3 player died; I had to buy another one
2. I have a sinus infection.
3. I failed my portfolio.

Failed??? I mean, seriously. I don't fail things. That might sound egotistical, but it's true. I've done things that were not perfect, had to re-do things to get what I wanted for a grade, but I've never failed anything. Was my ego talking too much this past year and now I've been bitten in the ass?

I am so distraught, you have no idea. I've only cried a little bit, so far, but the desire to do so comes and goes (like right now...like woah). This means that, no really, the supervisors during student teaching were right: this is not the career for you.

And now that I'm into it for two and a half years, I really can't see myself doing anything else. What am I supposed to do with my life if I don't get to teach?

I have until Feb. 1st to redo the sucker, then I find out by April 1st if I figured it out the second time. My certification expires in July. Let's talk time crunch.

I suck. This pity party is so worth it.
