This Should Be Interesting

I mentioned yesterday that today is ACT testing and that I'm proctoring 1 student who needs individual testing. So, I'm in a small conference room with her. Just her and me in a tiny little room. I did this last year and I was supposed to have  two kids but one didn't show up. Anyway, yesterday I decided to see what this chicks deal is (she's on a 504). Apparently, she's got misophonia and misokinesia. What the fuck is that you ask? Well, let me tell you. Misophonia is when an individual is triggered by sounds like chewing, sniffing, or clicking. Misokinesia is when a person is triggered by sights like leg shaking, hair twirling, or pen clicking. Apparently, when these two issues occur at the same time it can cause extreme emotional/physiological distress—anger, anxiety, or disgust leading to heightened, involuntary "fight-flight-freeze" response to sensory input. Awesome! I'm pretty sure this girl will have noise-cancelling headphones I just hope she isn't annoyed by anything else I might unconsciously do. Did I mention I'm in a tiny little conference room with her. This should be fun. 

Once testing is done, around 11:00, I'll be done for the day. I need to go to Kroger so maybe I'll waste some time doing that. I also need to get my progress reports done since - holy shit!!! - the 3rd quarter ends on Friday! Isn't that shit crazy!? I only have 1 more quarter left!

Oh, I had a transition meeting yesterday for a student of mine going full time to the career center next year. At the meeting a career center rep was there to go over the program as well as any changes that needed to be made on the IEP. This woman? I mean what a fuck! She was the most condescending bitch I've ever met. The way she talked to the student was ridiculous. Hopefully he won't have to deal with her too much. At one point, after the meeting, we were talking about another student of mine who is going and she was questioning her decision to take the cosmetology lab. She said to me at one point, "Will she be okay not performing on par with the rest of her class?" I said, "I'm not sure what you mean?" (She's never met this girl, doesn't know a shit thing about her.) She answered with, "Will she be okay failing?" I said, "What?! Failing? I don't think anyone would be okay with her failing. Why would she fail?" I looked at her like she was the asshole she was. Eventually she said, "Maybe I shouldn't have used the word 'fail'." Me, "Yeah, maybe not." I can't wait for the 19th when I have another meeting with this ass. 

Dinner tonight will be a pasta Maggie and I were going to make this past weekend but didn't. It's a Stanley Tucci 6 ingredient pasta. Should be easy and good. 

BTW - slept like a baby last night thanks to a couple Tylenol PM. 

Okay, I'm out of time. Best mosey. Happy Tuesday. Later!
