It can only get worse....right?

First day of school, 5 years from now...(I predict)

What I've been up to lately...

Until the day, this is what my workday consists of, in addition to Math tutoring. I speak for everyone when I say, I think I'll be a little sad when this is over.

DOUBT

I had a video up about this, but I hate that YouTube now has a larger than square embedded video. So if you want to see it, go to YouTube yourself. It's annoying that it no longer fits on my blog. Blah.

More on this later. But I just wanted to check in and let you readers know that if you haven't yet, you must see this. Absolutely breathtaking. And all those other adjectives.

Detox Over

Thank god and all things holy (or wholly) for that. Tonight was a housemates birthday, so I found it rather fitting that on the last day of of the detox I had pumpkin pie and lasagne. Good stuff. I forgotten how much I miss sweet carbs. And I didn't really indulge and overdo it like I usually do. I don't feel bloated or sick, just satisfied. I suppose the detox did its job. Or maybe it's all in my head. Who knows. Now if only I can keep up with that moderate attitude throughout the year.

In other news, I'm making a lot of good progress at work. I feel really good about this year, like it can be a good thing. Positive relationships with other teachers and co-workers...supportive environment. I've switched my schedule around on Mondays and Wednesdays so that I can stay for after school without going over my hours during the day so I don't have come in until 10 am!

And how cool is the Rational Number Project? I will probably end up doing another post on this sometime soon, but I'll just say that this tool is very awesome. Lots to do this sememster, and lots to learn both in school and at work (in a school) I feel like a kid and a teacher all over again.

How cool is that?

In other Monday news...

I found out that I will now have two tutees with College House so that's exciting. My school was on the (local) news. You can read the transcript and see some pictures here. After school activities were cancelled today due to the weather. This never happens folks. It's bad out there. As of this writing, it is no longer snowing but the wind is blowing so hard, that it is actually blowing snow off the ground and onto the roads, affecting visibility. It's a good day to curl up under two or three covers with a book and drift off to dreamland until reality hits tomorrow morning. That sounds like its going to be my night. Also, I'm really sore in the shoulders from yoga yesterday, but it feels relatively good. Must do yoga more often. just a note to self...

Detox, Day 5

Over the hill, as they say. Really only two more days left to go for this. Not much longer now. Today was easier, I must say. I cut a pineapple up last night as I was making more miso soup. So this morning I put the pinapple and oranges into the blender and drank that and had miso soup and an orange for lunch. I didn't feel hungry until just now, when I had a bananna and some rice milk. I don't feel like I have more energy, but I do feel better from not putting crap into my body. I'm ready for a sandwich though. I'm ready for some fish. I think I may stop a day or two early, or at least make something more substantial in day 7. Not a big deal. I still question the effectiveness of what I'm doing now.
