Making Significant Gains from Home [30 Nov 2005|10:29am]
[ mood | groggy ]
[ music | Pete Yorn - Just Another ]

i was laying in bed this morning and realized, i just couldn't. today isn't a day for teaching. i couldn't get out of bed, i couldn't motivate myself to wake up. so, while i was trying to go back to sleep for just a little bit... i kept having visions of my students begging me, running up to me, yelling out my name, then thinking about all the lessons i needed to teach today, but didn't plan for last night. it was terrible. i was getting a massive headache.

finally, to set my heart at ease, i called in sick.

i wonder what my kids are doing now... i wonder what they think... i wonder how i'm going to make significant gains when i don't even want to be there...

agh.

a rude awakening

Growing Up Ain't Easy, Quicken Helps [26 Nov 2005|03:12am]
[ mood | accomplished ]
[ music | Van Morrison - Crazy Love (with Bob Dylan) ]

tonight i learned how to use Quicken 2005. (thanks zach.) it's awesome. my checking account, my credit card account, even my savings account are all recorded and available to me now. all in one convenient location. i'm keeping track of my cash expenses as well! what a way to start off my 23rd year of living. this will go down as the "Year of Quicken." i'm totally going to keep up with this, i will.

in other news, i met up with my ex a few nights ago. wednesday to be exact. which would be only 4 days after i told myself i was going to stop seeing him. ah, will power, why have you abandoned me yet again? needless to say it did not end well. this time, however, it ended with a promise. he swore he'd never call me again. sincerely. we'll see how long it lasts. but it's on me, too, i realize. so this upcoming weekend, it's time to break out and live life.

tomorrow (today), saturday, i'm taking a few of my students to see the 4th harry potter movie. i'm rather excited about it. it's rated PG-13. none of my kids are 13 years of age, but i think it'll be ok. if anyone cries, i'm making them wait outside the theatre. no way am i going to miss this movie.

i was supposed to lesson plan tonight, but instead, i played with Quicken. tomorrow, tomorrow.

p.s. four day holidays are freaking awesome. i have no desire to return to school on monday.

1 it's time for| a rude awakening
