An odd start to the day

It's a Monday, so one never really knows what to expect, but today just seems a bit off and it isn't even 1pm yet.  I woke up this morning feeling unsettled and sluggish.  Got to school and just didn't want to be there.  Thankfully we have another short week again this week.  Anyway, shortly into the day the teacher asked me to come up in front of the class and help her with the lesson.  Flattering, but I wasn't in the mood.  We have a 15 minute break everyday in the class and after the break today the teacher had the class discuss the other teacher and voice any complaints we might have with her.  I really like the other teacher, she is the one I had at my other school, and it felt really weird to be talking about her when she isn't there.  My teacher today is the "boss" so to speak and it seems wants some information about the other teacher.  She also stated that she will be observing one class when the other teacher is there.  Anyway, many of the students don't like the teacher and so many mean things were stated.  The one student who I have found to be quite "witchy" from the start did most of the bad-mouthing.  I couldn't even look at her.  She even brought me up in her rant how I just sit there and do nothing when everyone else is working.  That is true, but that is only because I do my homework (and extra work) at home instead of using the class time for that.  She doesn't know this, but the teacher did so I didn't feel any need to address her point.  Also, two weeks ago this same student came to me complaining of the teacher we were now talking about.  I told her that if she has a problem, she should talk with the teacher as she is understanding and is there to help.  Based on what she said today, some of the things being untrue and even verified to be untrue by other students, she clearly did not speak directly with the teacher.  It shocks me how immature so many of the students are in the class.  For example, if someone sits in a seat that you sat in yesterday, a big scene is made, as if you own the dang seat.  GROW UP!!!!  Jeez, it is so irritating at times.  Now, I am not saying I am perfect, that is just implied, but still we are all adults in the class and should try to act it.  

Enough of that.  Now I have to super clean the floors so that it is all nice and tidy for when our new furniture arrives tomorrow.  Soon I can eat at a table instead of over a card board box :)
