Ask and ye shall receive, I suppose. After all my whining yesterday about not having much to do at work, suddenly math assessments seem to fall into my lap. I offered to assist with getting a list of students that need extra help in math and soon I found myself pulling students out of classes left and right and testing them to see how well they can do math. It is frustrating and downright sad to watch some of the students sit there and struggle with these math tests. Tomorrow I get to look forward to watching two girls take the second part of a test they did poorly on today. Oh what fun. I can’t wait until I can actually do some good and help them improve in math, rather than watching them fail at tests.

On the more personal side, I continue to be a chicken when it comes to matters of the heart. I choose to send text messages rather than call people. When I do call people, I hope and pray for a voice mail to pick up so I can leave a quick message. I’m not sure when I became locked in this shell of chickening out of every social contact, but I wish it never would have happened. I am trying my best to break out of this box, but it seems the more I try, the more I am stuck. I need to branch out socially or I may just go insane here in this house alone in the quiet. If you have any solutions to this, dear reader, please offer them. I am no help to myself. I am the one keeping myself here…
