i stayed late today helping one of my poor non-english speaking students write a full page single spaced essay on why speed limits exist for his driver's ed class.  it was not so fun.  then i found out one of my english students isn't coming back to school for a few weeks because he has encephalitis.  another one of my english students had a brain tumor when he was young and since then he's suffered from anxiety and only gets a couple hours of sleep each night.  miserable.
on a funnier note - one of my students was given the first name "lestat."  i guess his father was a big fan of the books.  and even worse is his last name - "vile."  i can never keep straight which is his first or last name.  i usually just call him one or the other and figure he'll respond.  poor poor poor guy.
