My second yarn is complementary to my Twilight tencel/merino. It's a superwash merino but what I like about it is that with the addition of a little orange, this yarn is warm rather than cool.
Moving on to the Jocks. I've been subbing, mainly elementary schools. For the most part, really positive and interesting teaching posts. Until Thursday, I decided to try high school classes to see if this age group worked for me, so I accepted a 2-day assignment for a Spanish/speech class.
Strike 1: I forgot how much I dislike waking up at 6 am.
Strike 2: To be teaching and dealing with people at 7 am is just wrong.
Strike 3: Teenagers.
Now not all teenagers are horrid little monsters who should be locked away until the time that the amazingly annoying attitude of theirs goes away, just the 4 boys I had the pleasure of dealing with during my 5th hour. Everybody else was manageable (usual mix of good and not so good), but this group was just not interested in anything.
I just don't know how to deal with anarchist personalities. You know the ones: don't want to learn, don't respect others enough to appreciate that they may want to learn something, and don't understand simple logic.
Four year-old alert. Must go.
