I Miss Middle School

Summer is fun, but I SO miss being in a classroom. If that fact confuses you, just go back to my school year posts and read the shenanigans my students were always getting into. They were SO MUCH FUN! I am getting really pumped to start my new job this fall and be in middle school again. I'm sure I will have many more student stories to post. I was thinking, though: just because I'm not currently in a classroom, why can't I still post student stories? My kids are still just as funny even though I am living thousands of miles away from them! I gave them all my e-mail address on the last day of school, and I have been corresponding with many of them via e-mail over the summer. I figure I will copy and paste to you this e-mail that I got today, because it is a true middle school gem. I have changed names; other than that it's exactly how she wrote it:

omg! i am rrrreeeeaaaallllyyyyy mad at diane! ok so i guess me and mark were dating which was like whoa since when did that happen? i didnt even know! but anyways i told diane that i thought this guy from another school was kinda sorta cute and i made diane swear on my life not to tell mark cuz i know he's like sensative about things like that and diane was ok i swear not to tell i'd never do that to you, and what does she do? she goes and tells him!

so then that leads to mark calling me a female dog and after days i finally forgave diane and she said wow im glad you're not mad anymore cuz when u were u wer acting like a real (insert the word for female dog here)

this makes me really mad because still at the end of the day diane is trying to make me feel guilty saying "you shouldn't be mad this is your last summer until you move to florida." but she's the one that gave me a perfectly stable reason to be mad!

it just makes me all really mad that i cant trust diane this isnt the first time she has told mark one of my secrets so thts y it makes me even more mad! i just cant forgive her its honestly too late for her to apologize! ugh! i feel like she has absolutely no respect for my feelings. like honestly what did i do to her that made her do such horrible things to me! i took her to see katy perry for gosh sakes!

well i hope u r loving las vegas!!!!!!!!
