Insanity

T5B: 1) (I got to talk to Jerod.) I got A LOT done today (sort of had to, but still!). 2) My lessons went really well. 3) I was supposed to tutor but she cancelled (and considering how exhausted I am I am feeling that is a blessing!). 4) I had good chocolate waiting for me at home thanks to Jerod after my VERY long day. 5) I have tomorrow off! (It's a holiday - Foundation of Japan day)

basal temp: 36.12

Morning:
- didn't sleep that well (83%) but I don't remember having nightmares :)
- had a very distracted morning (thinking about everything I had to do) but luckily didn't forget anything
- had a hot shower!
- the bus ride was long which was nice (I got to finish my book)
1st-4th - blocked out a new worksheet, made the new worksheet with materials for that lesson (for Wednesday), I made a map for the first graders' test, wrote the sentences for the test, got them checked, recorded myself (a couple times to get it right), had the recording checked by all three first grade (sophomore) teachers, burned a disc for them (the students are testing together so they only needed one cd), burned a couple other discs I said I would burn, got ready for my afternoon lessons, felt like I was starving, got a migraine, got my SLP for this Friday (thank goodness) and started brainstorming

Notes: I probably forgot some stuff. I was a chicken with its head cut off today (felt like I was running around frantically trying to get everything done). -- Kanamori-sensei stopped by my desk two or three times today to remind me we're going to lunch tomorrow. We planned this a couple weeks ago and every day since she has reminded me. :) I think it's very sweet how excited she is. I think I finally understand how my Papa feels faced with me! I'm overflowing with excitement and he's more understated. Well even with all that overflow, WOW! LOL Still, I am excited to go to lunch with her and it will be my first experience with kaitenzushi (sushi train!). I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Afternoon:
5th - taught 2.3, went really well
6th - corrected worksheets, brainstormed for Friday some more
7th - taught 1.4, went really well
- corrected worksheets, cleaning time, organizing my materials and making sure I have what I need

Notes: One student in 1.4 cracked me up. While I'm teaching he suddenly sings out, "It's my life!" I smiled and said, "Bon Jovi." He freaks out that I know it. "I have that song! Anyway..." Then I continued to teach. Funny moment.

Evening:
- got home, made my dinner
- ate some fine chocolate (thanks Jerod!)
- got to skype with Jerod for a bit
- read a little bit

Notes: I got a migraine during the afternoon at school and I am looking forward to getting some sleep to get rid of it! It was really nice to be able to hear Jerod's voice though. :) Made my night. Hope you all have a great beginning to your week as well. XOXO, A

blast from the past: I remember when I was young I was a firebug. We were taking our shed apart and it was empty. I gathered some twigs and paper and dry leaves and made a little bonfire in the empty shed. Then, IN FULL VIEW OF MY FATHER, I lit it. I don't know what I was thinking! Of course he came rushing out and stamped out my fire. I was in BIG trouble. (Maybe I'm intelligent now because I got all the stupidity out when I was a kid? lol)

p.s. I finally remembered the thing I forgot at Daiso - a lint roller. I don't NEED it right away. My black pants have accumulated a lot of little fuzzies though. I just wanted to restore them to their former glory. Will do that later in the week.

Whoa.... my birthday is in a week... whoa
