Hmm. I might get sick soon. Today my throat was a bit sore (a hint, but enough to get me slightly perplexed). Then I talked to a friend of mine who I spent some time with Saturday night. My friend has the flu.
If I get the flu again (or another strain), I will be an extremely unhappy camper. I have places to go, people to see, races to run, classes to teach.
Work's been kinda stressful these past few days and today was only a little less. I only had to call an administrator to my room once today (instead of the 4 times Friday). And my sophomores turned in their compositions today, so I have plenty of grading to do this week. Plus, I was chosen to help with the Black History program (ironically) so we have auditions this week and rehearsals starting next week. PLUS I still need to finish re-reading the novel I'm teaching.
Plus, I'm reading a novel for fun, although I've started taking it to the gym with me to read while on the elliptical machine. The novel for January is "Lords of Discipline" by Pat Conroy. I'm enjoying it immensely.
I haven't run since Thursday. I didn't do a long run this week. I have to stay after school tomorrow, Wednesday and I have a Rodeo meeting on Thursday, auditions on Friday. When will I run again? Who knows. I might be running in the dark this week. Yuck. Next week, I won't stay after school so that I can get some last-minute mantenance (sp) runs before the New Orleans half.
I am so looking forward to my trip to Louisiana! It's a mini-break, Friday-Monday and a guarantee good time (due to wonderful company with whom I will be spending time with).
But now, I must grade compositions about how my students know when a teenager is becoming an adult.
According to many of the things they've written, I'm still not an adult. I'm not married. I don't have kids. I don't support anyone. But I'm ok with that. I still feel young and look young but have the smarts, experience and wisdom that a college student doesn't.
Cheers!
