Frustration Station

As you can probably tell from the title of this blog, I am not a happy camper. What are the reasons for my frustrations? I have only one answer, one word for that: freshmen. As I've said before, sometimes I truly regret my decision to become a senior mentor and this is one of those times. It seems like every possible button that could be pushed by them is and I'm going crazy! I find myself looking forward to graduation because I will finally be rid of them and I know that may sound horrible but, if put in the position most of the senior mentors of my school are, you would probably feel the same way. Unlike my amazing, sometimes incredibly mean, mentor, Ms. Sykes, I don't have a degree that would help me to better deal with the stress caused by my freshman on a daily basis. Not only do some of them refuse to do work, some will actually catch an attitude when you ask them to do what they're supposed to do! It drives me absolutely bonkers! I suppose that once the last week of school rolls by that I'll actually start to miss them, but until that seemingly unlikely time comes, I'll be in the back of the classroom; sulking and moody.
