All I can say is wow. I got lucky last year and my first ESY experience was a 6th grade self-contained class and we didn't get many kids so we joined in with the 7th and 8th. The kids were low, but higher functioning. This year I have 1st grade. These are 6:1:1 kids.... 11 of them... in one class. With one para that has to stand by the door for elopers, a toileting para who has to be in and out of the room for other kids too, one 1:1, and a floater. This is my first time leading a self contained class like this and I want to cry. Actually, I have already cried... like today when I got my glasses slapped off my face lol. I truly see the "blood money" reference now. I am wishing my summer away. Anyone else have this experience? I've made morning meetings slides to repeat every single day. I think this will help

Hi all, I'd truly appreciate some advice in what I'm experiencing at the moment. I'm a 31F and 2 of my 3 close friends have been doing things without me and seem to have grown closer in the last year. One of these friends (friend A) doesn't even really text me anymore. In the past I've texted them and after a couple responses she stops. But she still invites me and one of my other friends to her big parties, but she barely talks to us once we are there. She stays near her cousins and new work friends. My other friend (friend B) I've always been close with, but sadly she recently called off a wedding and I've been texting her to check in and asking to see when she is free so I can see her, as I wanted to give her space. We are supposed to meet tomorrow if she doesn't cancel. But a few weeks ago, during friend Bs difficult breakup, I saw that friend A invited friend B out for drinks. Then friend A invited friend B to her recent work award ceremony, and tonight friend A invited friend B out to watch the Knicks game. No invites for me or my other friend... we've all been friends for over 15 years... but things have felt different lately. I keep telling myself I'm too old for this shit. But seeing it on social media and knowing I have a small friend group and that I'm clearly not on the same page with them sucks.

​

Am I boring? Do I get caught up in routine and shit to do? (I just moved in with my fiancé while planning a wedding as a first year teacher, sometimes things pile up) I try to be there for my friends and make an effort, but when stuff like this happens I become withdrawn. Does my friend A not like my fiancé? (I've always gotten that vibe, even though he is quiet and very nice to everyone)

​

I just feel so fucking hurt and I'm tried of seeing stuff online. Do I need to branch out and make new friends? Honestly, when I see this stuff happening I feel like I don't even want them around for my wedding events, because all of this makes me feel like they don't care and that we aren't as close as I thought.

I just saw Obsession last night at my local theater and I enjoyed it although I really wanted to focus more on the subtleties of how things played out and how and when real Nikki pops in every once in a while versus entity Nikki, but people in the audience kept laughing or saying things like "what the f***" "that's wild" etc... which kind of took away from the eerieness I was trying to pick up on.

They laughed when she was watching him sleep saying that he's cute and when she moved back to the corner and when she cried. I thought this scene was very spooky, uncomfortable, and creepy especially the make up effects and the voice change and her empty eyes and shadows.

They laughed when he made the wish and he looked up and saw her standing on the porch with just her dark silhouette visible. I also thought this was very creepy.

They laughed at the scene during the party and she frowned at the kissing jenga block. Maybe this I can understand?

And so on and so forth. I haven't gone to see a scary movie in theaters in a long time, and last time I did, the same thing happened and it's so annoying. Was the movie itself meant to incorporate humor like this, especially in these parts? Am I missing it? Or this is just subjective viewership?

I can't wait for it to be on a streaming service so I can watch it in peace for a full effect
