Substituting chronicles. Morning 1- it sucks

 I don’t want to open a new blog account so I’ll adopt this one into my substituting chronicles. 

It’s 8:23 and so far substituting SUCKS. The secretary was 20 minutes late so I just waited in the lobby. Alone. Surrounded by random teachers and students, all looking like they’re having the worst morning of their life. 

It’s a high school. Very different vibe from elementary schools. 

When I logged in and asked for directions to the classroom the secretary told me to just go to the STEAM room. The STEAM teacher told me to wait in the hallway for a job, they overasked for subs.

I get it schools fall apart without subs. It’s smart of them to be extra prepared. But. It sucks to BE the leftover sub not having a job.

My main feeling is disappointment to be honest. I was excited to be in a classroom. Getting know the students and learning something with them. 

Really anything but blogging on a hard metal chair in a hallway waiting to be told what to do for over an hour.
