Saved!

T5B: 1) Today's schedule was like M-W so the classes were 45 instead of 50 minutes. (It's only 5 minutes but those are long minutes when the majority of my classes are 45 minutes long so I plan for that amount of time!) 2) I got to message Jerod. 3) My lessons went really well. 4) I have tomorrow off! 5) I was able to work on some things for the exam in two weeks (I get to help!).

basal temp: 35.96

Morning:
- woke up 45 minutes early to find my lappy had died and my phone was almost dead, eep! (I needed both for today so luckily I had time to let them charge before I left.)
- got ready, got to the bus stop early
- made my last few copies and got my materials together
1st - taught 1.5, went very well
2nd - taught 1.1, went very well
3rd-4th - corrected worksheets, worked on preparing for the test

Notes: I'm glad that I get to help out! I was asked to make and map and cd for giving directions (the lessons we're doing right now for the first years). Turns out having a little teching skill helps everyone! (I record myself on my phone and then burn cds, TADA!!)

Afternoon:
- watched the clock so I would know when it was noon (when the seniors finished their testing) and gave them their origami (it was, thankfully, well received :D ~ though I didn't stick around long just in case!)
5th - taught 2.1, went very well
6th - taught 2.2, went very well
- corrected worksheets while the other teachers went to a meeting
- the heater on the way to school was roasting my leg, but home it was nice and perfect (mmm mmm toasty ;D)

Notes: SOO glad my lessons went well today. I needed that. :)

Evening:
- got home, gulped some dinner to make it on time for tutoring
- got to Tully's (where we meet) and find out she cancelled... lol
- went back home, warmed up, ate some chocolate, had horrific cramps
- Bruce stopped by and asked me to turn in receipts for him (he's going back home for his grandfather's funeral)
- talked a bunch to Jerod
- read a little bit (my new book is strange ~not the one Jerod send me, another one)
- played some games

Notes: SOO glad I have tomorrow off. I have some errands to run, but I can get those done in a couple hours. I then will have the rest of the day AND Saturday. Hallelujah! I plan to enjoy it and relax. (Especially since it's supposed to snow tomorrow.) Hope you all have a great end to your week as well! XOXO, A

blast from the past: I was the junior companion to Hna (Hermana) .. all I can remember is her married name now - Petersen. Anyway, our district leader was a native from Chile (he spoke no English) and he was kinda really rude. He treated us like we were lazy. When he called each evening to check in, he wouldn't say, "What are your numbers?" He'd say, "Did you even work tonight? Did you even do anything worthwhile today?" It made me SO mad and I wanted to (oh her name was Larson!) talk to him. Hna Larson said no as she knew I would tear him a new one. LOL In any case, one night he called and she was fed up with his attitude and treatment. So when he asked if we had even left she answered with, "No." I could hear him from where I was freaking out. "Qué!? No saliste!? Porqué!?" (What!? You didn't go out/leave!? Why!?) My comp starts with "Me dolía..." (Saying something was paining her) Since she faltered I supplied a word for her: "La bombacha." So she uses it and I can hear the elder freaking out even more and I'm already laughing. She covers the receiver and, eyebrows lifted, says to me, "What did I say?" "You told him your uterus hurt." And that's how I got my companion AND my DL mad at me at the same time. LOL In all fairness she had been present when we (I) learned the word, and he goes, "Hna Budge told you to say that didn't she!?" LOL She ratted me out. No shame. :) It's a good memory for me. :)
