IN DEFENSE OF NOTHING
Every petty inch of me wanted to defend myself in a sarcastic manner similar to what I have done here.
GRACE UNDER PRESSURE
There are more lessons to create, more papers to grade, more parent emails to answer, more meetings to attend, more papers to grade, more standardized tests to prepare non standard students for, and, of course, more papers to grade.
