I am so depressed every day now. The freshmen I am working with are: anxious, addicted to phones, apathetic, anti-school/teachers, anti-anything they don't agree with, and cruel to their peers. … more

I don’t like changing times. At least this year my school doesn’t have parent-teacher conferences on the same week we lose an hour. That’s how it usually works out. Our PTCs start after school on Monday and Wednesday, and they go from 4-8 at night. Combined with losing an hour, it makes those days feel really long. This year PTCs are scheduled for next week, so we have more time to get used to day light savings.

But I still don’t like readjusting my internal clock.
