Did anyone catch the number of that bus? The one that ran me over?

So today I just feel exhausted. Despite my best efforts are coming in prepared today, I feel like I've been flying by the seat of my pants. I spent much of this weekend doing preparatory work, including finding a way to make Vocabulary more engaging and an activity to really engage people over one of the upcoming chapters of Invisible Man.

Last night I didn't actually sleep until 11:00 or 11:30 or so. I then woke up at 1:45 after having a terrible nightmare about evil clowns, including one that looked like Pennywise from Stephen King's It, save with shark's teeth. So that prevented me from sleeping for some time.

Then I got up at 4:00 A.M. I continued trying to do work this morning, and some of it I think is even good. But then once I got into school, I felt like I was adrift at sea. So I am mentally and physically exhausted, feeling under-prepared and I need to be ready again to-morrow.

Today's AP class went alright. It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't awful either. I felt good about it though, so I've got no complaints.

As I was busily trying to make copies this morning right before class, I ran into Ms. C who said: "You can prep, create or make copies; but never all three." So very true and it's not something I was warned about in my preparation work. Here's hoping I get s'more sleep.

  1. You make me glad I chose an easy profession, one where nothing can go wrong: Journalism! ;-} Hang in there, though. It's worth doing and maybe some day the kids will look back at the good ol' days with Mr. Kershaw.
