Thank you all! With 99% of the posts of the last blog (technically 98.9), you have all sextupled (blogger is telling me that is wrong but isn't giving me the right word - times six) the views from my last blog. Thanks so much! :D
T5B: 1) I got two more worksheets done today (for Friday). 2) My worksheets I made yesterday were approved and praised. (YAY!) 3) I remembered my computer cord again. 4) My appetite is returning. 5) I got to message Jerod.
basal temp: 36.22
from yesterday:
1) I forgot to mention, in one class (5th period) I interviewed Kanamori-s to show the students how to do their worksheet. For the sake of speed, I wrote her name in Kanji. The students all CLAPPED for me. LOL And I had messed up the first, so I erased and rewrote it (with the correct stroke order - since I've been studying) and they clapped AGAIN! 8D
2) I ended up throwing up after writing my blog. HOWEVER, it was only water so doesn't count, right?
AM:
- was awake a lot during the night (stomach troubles)
- got ready
- realized when I went to grab my lunch, forgot to make rice yesterday
- improvised for lunch
- during my bus ride, small panic attack
1st, 2nd period - made two worksheets
3rd - taught my toughest class, it went really well (more in notes - two funny stories)
4th - more prep (materials for lessons)
Notes: My small panic attack? I looked up and didn't see anyone. I FREAKED and thought I was on the wrong bus or missed my stop (which is ridiculous since the bus stops in front of the school) -- ya, my students had all taken seats behind me. Sheesh! Thanks a lot! (Small funny side note: one of the VPs today was wearing a plaid shirt with a paisley tie. My eyes!! LOL) -- Ok so in third period, we played Thimbleful. This time >I< played too. The very last round, I said the color and SPLASH! Luckily I was wearing a jacket as my shirt is already light and white to boot! He poured it RIGHT DOWN MY SHIRT! LOL I believe it was in an effort to avoid my face. In any case, when I first walked in with water they were upset, "No! NO!" (We played this game two weeks ago) But then I think the tides turned when they saw I was playing too. :) In fact, when I got splashed I got up to refill and saw the bottle was gone. (We were just going to play until it was empty). Suddenly a student walks up with the bottle and it's FULL. LOL I think they changed their mind about the game! My other funny story is that I was writing adjectives (Keiyoushi) on the board and writing the English and the Japanese. Well, I can't read my own handwriting and wrote one wrong. This class, of course, called me on it - which was unplanned but PERFECT! Like see? I mess up too! They all laughed and laughed at me - including the JTE. Solidarity of the Japanese laughing at the American. Hey! I'm trying! The JTE corrected it for me - get this, I was ONE stroke off. Japanese is great! :D It really was funny. When I got back to the staff room (you know how I am about stories), I told another teacher and he said, "I can help you with Japanese!" LOL One more funny story in that block of time - when I got back to the staff room, I went to wash all the chalk off my hands. I heard another teacher say "Okorimasu" (which means angry) so I was curious if I had heard correctly. I turned to another teacher who was waiting for the sink and said, "Okorimasu?" She then started falling over herself, "Iie! Iie! Iie! (which sounds like yey yey yey when you say it quickly) Daijobu!" I was confused and it hit me as I was walking away, she thought I was asking if she was angry that she had to wait to use the sink. LOL "You mad bro?" What a funny thought.
Afternoon (should have included lunch here yesterday):
- ate my improvised lunch (yum - just grabbed something from the freezer and an apple)
5th - taught a class, it went well
6th - taught another class, it also went well
7th - more prep, received another lesson, STILL no SLP for next week :/
- cleaning time
- bus ride home was good
Notes: I asked this week! I said to Sato-sensei (one of the VPs), "Shitsumon ga arimasu." "Hai." "Mae ni, suiyoubi de soujiki shimashita, ima?" "AH! Wasureta!" (I have a question, Yes?, Before we vacuumed on Wednesdays, now?, AH! I forgot!) So BANG! Another successful communication! All in Japanese. Mostly correct grammar too I think.
Evening:
- messaged Jerod
- watched an episode of Gintama (my students think it's so funny I watch it)
- ate dinner
- writing this, need to cook rice for my lunch tomorrow
- was supposed to go shopping for one thing and the office but I skipped it
- I think I'm getting sick, I'm all achy and icky *sigh*
Hope you are all doing well. All my best as usual! XOXO, A
My sleep - not as much, but I guess it was better? -- I did feel less tired today but not sure if that's a psychosomatic effect, as it were. |
My bruise - it's turning very dark now! |
My breakfast! (So you can be jealous!) |
When yogurt has "turned", it'll give you the runs, so be careful. I speak from experience ... I made frosting for a pan of brownies (when I was young, single, and foolish...) and accidentally used gone-bad plain yogurt. Oh boy, did we all pay for it later.
ReplyDeleteI DID pay - hence the "stomach troubles." Yep - had the runs very badly in the middle of the night. :/ Ouch. And lol!
