i am particular fond of my facial expressions in these pictures,

it shows the mood i might have been--

this year i end my teaching day in a particularly rough way

and some days it makes me grumpy

it makes me grumpy because i do the best i can to help them learn,

i want my students to do they best they can to learn,

and sometimes it seems these two things aren't meshing well--

(i hope it doesn't sound like i am complaining)
