A month in the life of a Speech Pathologist

So these are somethings that have happened at work in the past month or so.

1. I had to move out of my room, because they needed it for testing. Let's just say I agreed to do it for 2 days (or so I thought), but it ended up being 5. Guess who ended up putting all the laptops, cords, etc. onto a cart so they could be hauled off.

2. Attended about 16 meetings in 2 days.

3. Almost went over the legal limit for my caseload.

4. Had a student throw-up during speech.

5. Laughed (not out loud) when a student came wearing florescent pink leggings and a mini jean skirt. Hello 80's!!!!!!

6. One of my 5th grade students skipped school. She was bullied on the bus and either hid in the bushes and then walked home (her story) or else on her way down to speech ditched school and walked home (teacher had her marked present).

7. Wrote 64 progress reports.

8. Laughed almost everyday, because of something funny a student said or did.

9. Called my dad and told him I hated my job. Called my dad and told him it will be good to get back to work on Monday.

10. SPRING BREAK!!!!!
