2nd, 4/30

Today, I snapped. I got so annoyed with the kids sharpening pencils (its a constant incident in this class) that I told them I would sharpen all their pencils for tomorrow. That was one of the most un-smart things I've done. The class' electric pencil sharpener doesn't work, so I had to use the old-school, cranking kind. This sharpener is probably as old as the school, and the handle doesn't have a good cushion anymore. It also doesn't sharpen unless one cranks it very hard and fast.

I can't use my right thumb and index finger - the blisters hurt too much.
