When you're having a rough week, the best thing to do is put on a 90's playlist.
Sometimes you have to confiscate two cell phones from kids who are gaming during an Easter Chapel.
Other times you will try not to laugh when a student tells you that his team has "proven" they deserve to be in the gym.
There might be an occasion when a student kicks a soccer ball at a group of defenseless third graders, and you feel like kicking the ball in his face.
You will continually have to kick kids out of the gym who are "doing a project" for a class, "in study hall", or simply lost.
Sometimes you will tell the same kid not to kick volleyballs 100 times in the same week.
There will be numerous opportunities to tell kids to go check the lost and found for whatever irrelevant object they have left in the gym.
Then the first/second graders come to class and give you hugs as soon as they see you, and you feel a little better.
You go to Rokeby for dinner with your best friends and fiance as many times as you can fit in the schedule, and you have mashed potatoes to ease the pain.
Then you put on an episode of Dawson's Creek and are reminded of the little things in life.
"I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over..."
