...banality...
So today….
Where to begin….
I spent four hours in the theater last night fighting the computers and scanners for Scott...I'm not quite half way thru and I have two weeks to do the rest...I hate, hate, hate, hate technology... after that I had my thing with Meghan (I loooooooovvveee yyyyyoooooou!) and then got home about midnight...in time to start my homework (I know someday I'll grow up)... :(
So I had this team teaching thing today…thru a series of procrastinations and mishaps me an my partner never met so I ended up doing the entire thing at two am last night…bought all the supplies for it as soon as Fred Myer opened and got the supporting texts for it as soon as the library opened, ect….and then presented it to her before my first class of the day…of course she didn’t have any early morning classes so her write-up was neater and better detailed than my 2am job…so in the end she got the better grade…for presenting my work. :(
The lesson itself, on the other hand, was great, the kids loved it, and all the kids really liked my teaching style (none of the other teachers seem to use sarcasm with the kids and it really helps them feel adult and in return want to act more adult…which helps with the lessons…) we made and labeled marshmallow ants, read about all sorts of ants and their jobs, made ant home dioramas in trees and underground did a graphic organizer and wrote a paragraph about our love of these useful little guys… :)
Trish was disappointed with our under preparedness yesterday (we go to Mount Stuart Elementary this Monday) so after the ant lesson plan I hit the books for penguin lesson plans and put some real work into that class (I hate to see Trish disappointed in us)… it was okay, but I still don’t feel prepared and it ate up endless amounts of time… :/
My roommates had crazy amount of dishes (three sinks full worth) and the cleaning lady came to day so I had to stay up and clean them after I finalized my lessons… :(
I got all caught up on my other third child’s lit course and will be ready to present with my group on Tuesday....however most of the other members arn't ready...they picked these arbritrary deadlines (I would have saved it for the weekend) and I killed myself to get it done...then they aren't ready...(all on time to take a shower and help a friend that needed use of my car early this morning before all my classes)... :(
then in class the teacher just played an audio tape of the author reading a text we don’t use at this school anymore- for two hours…I couldn’t keep my eyes open… :(
Then I was cancelled on…twice (by two different men for lunch and dinner…I’m not hanging out with boys anymore)….and whilst I was waiting no less than three girls came into the design room and then left to go work out…at eight pm on Thursday…for the love of God, all I want is a beer and something fried…:( :( :(
…and that my friends is banality.
UPDATE: My pursuit for beer and fried food has left me with a salad and a night of video editing...
