Fourth period today (right after lunch) I started to feel a little ill. It started with just being tired. Then as the rest of the day went on, it got worse. By fifth period I knew something was wrong. I felt dizzy, light headed, and exhausted. I ended up having to teach from my desk where I could sit down and go over the syllabus and procedures. But about 5 minutes before class ended, I knew I was going to be sick. Luckily, I was able to go into one of my storage rooms with a trashcan and throw up where no one else would see, hear, or smell it. Not the best way to end a class on the first day of the last night weeks of school. But I felt better after and was able to dismiss class just fine. However, I still felt a little down during sixth period and after school. I guess the only benefit of feeling sick was that I actually left the building before 4PM. As soon as I got home I went straight to bed until about 5:30. I'm about to go back to bed. I hate getting sick and then not knowing if I'm going to get sick again.
The bad thing about being sick today is that I wasn't able to go watch LOST with my LOST friends. :( I know that today is like 2 days after being originally aired, but we watch it on the TV via HULU. It's a great time to be had, usually on Wednesdays. This week we didn't watch on Wednesdays because of the Sojourn Vision Catalyst meeting. My sentences are all starting to sound the same. I should vary my sentence structures. This is the third strange random sentence. RANDOM!
I'm so thankful tomorrow is Friday! Jeans Day!!! I'm also thinking about going home to Lexington tomorrow so my dad can help me do my taxes. The only problem is that I would need to be back before 4PM on Saturday. I made a new friend yesterday and she invited me to a get together with some of her friends. God has really been blessing me lately with new friendships and community. I just need to work on cultivating those friendships and being more intentional.
Other good news:
- I'm one of the chaperones taking the 8th grade I-Leap (gifted and talented) students to see the Broadway Musical, WICKED in May. We're leaving from school at 12:45, going downtown for the show at 2, and then walking to 4th Street Live for dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. All this and the students will have to pay no more than $30. We're trying to go lower if possible. Can you believe that?!?! The kids will love it and they totally need that kind of opportunity.
- Erin and I are going to hang out in Indy for two days in April for our spring breaks. Then about 2 weeks later, she and her boyfriend are going to come to Louisville to visit! I'm totally stoked!
- I also might be going back to Holland for summer vacation. Whitney and I are thinking about taking a side trip somewhere else as well... maybe even Egypt!! How cool would that be?
Well, I better get to sleep so I am fully rested for tomorrow. I talked way too much today in my classes. I hope it's not as bad tomorrow. I hate the first couple days of a new 9-weeks. At least it's at the end of a week. It's hard enough transitioning from procedures and syllabi to actual content, but even more so when it all happens in one week. The weekend makes it less awkward. Now just to keep structure and not be too relaxed on the second day, when I don't want to do any teaching and the kids don't want to learn. It doesn't help that I still haven't finalized my 8th grade content (stupid reading class...) and I want to change some of my 7th grade content. It makes planning very difficult. Oh well. I'll figure it out later. It's all good.
