Don't speak

Actually, right now, it's more like can't speak.

My fever may have passed Thursday but now my sore throat is starting to impair my job.  It was horrible; for most of the day I sounded like a teenage boy whose voice was changing.  In 6th period I got the students to do things for me by promising to whisper if they did.  (My whispers came out like squeaks which greatly amused them.)  I spent an extra half-hour after school today making copies of back-up worksheets in case I really don't have a voice tomorrow and can't verbally teach the new unit.  I wish I could take a sick day but since I've already missed 2 days and we get Memorial Day off, I'm down to exactly 52 days of student teaching - which is the minimum amount we're supposed to do.  Oh well.  I guess I'll just have to stay silent for most of the day and only speak when absolutely necessary.  Oh, and try not to yell over my students too much.
