February 10

When will Friday ever be an easy day of teaching? I have never raised my voice so much in one day. I even had to completely stop one of my classes and have them sit in silence for 10 minutes. It was a mess and teacher fail. My voice hurts. Good thing there are no major auditions for me this weekend because my singing voice is shot - though some of students would disagree, kind as some of them them were today "you have a nice singing voice". Others would rather yell "Mrs. Whore!" at me while I am driving away from school ....
