Still pushing sleep deprivation

First of all, happy birthday to my brilliant and beloved Papa!!

T5B: 1) I got to msg Jerod today. 2) I made it through the day. 3) It was ok that I forgot my shoes and wore the guest slippers. 4) Tutoring was good. 5) Dinner was good.

Basal temp: 36.26

Old stories: Did I tell you I left my tupperware on the bus? *sigh* Dang it! -- One other quick funny story. A couple weeks ago I was teaching a "TV" lesson and we talked about genres and other things. Well, I printed out pictures of genres. I used paper that I had here (scrap) partially because I ran out of plain white paper and partially because I DO like to recycle. In any case, I used sheets on which I had written the "hard" French words from "Passe-Muraille" with an English translation. I found a group of my second grade boys with the paper looking up these French words in their English dictionaries. SO funny. From where they were pointing on the page, they'd looked up several and were completely lost. "Huransugo," I explained (French). They all looked immensely relieved and put the paper back. LOL

Morning:
- got ready, almost ran out of time
- got to the bus stop, no shoes DAAAAHHHH!!
1st - prep
2nd - prep and correcting worksheets from last week
3rd - taught a class, not good at all (1.6)
4th - corrected worksheets, brainstormed

Notes: Oh man the shoes. It was hard to convince myself not to panic. I'm so tired that I wanted to cry at the bus stop. Being this tired is NOT good for me (or anyone else I'm sure). -- My awful class? Turns out no one knows Battleship here and it's REALLY hard to explain with minimal understood English and a class that's yelling over you. Hosokawa-s got so angry he shouted at them. He scared even me!

Afternoon:
- lunch was great
5th - prep
6th - prep (or tried - I'm having trouble strining thoughts together since I'm so tired)
7th - taught another lesson, (1.4) not as big a bomb, but I didn't feel it was successful
- it was 3° when I left the school, but (mmm) the bus was one minute early (warmth!)

Notes: During my last class that one really weird student pointed at me and laughed and laughed in my face. It was unnerving and then all his friends laughed and it was just ... I felt bad and weirded out. It also snowed during that class period. So weird - Hashimoto-s told me MONTHS ago that historically it always snows on November 11th. Well, it did!

Evening:
- totally forgot tutoring and was 10 minutes late
- was distracted but answered all her French questions
- just so tired I don't feel like myself
- oh! got to message Jerod

Notes: I told Jerod, and it's true, that this sleep deprivation is making me feel like a very fragile glass sculpture. One wrong move and I will shatter. It's so tiring and I want to sleep so badly. Hope you're all doing well! Love you, XOXO, A

P.S. Maman - they only make four kinds of cheese at that farm: mozzarella, Gouda, halloumi and another I'd never heard of before that started with a C.

Look how wonky my temps have gotten! Double period messed me up big time!
