Insignificant Insights

Going into the first year of fulltime HIGH SCHOOL teaching-- the question becomes, 'what will happen?' My trials and tribulations are as follows...

Am sitting in a computer lab on campus killing time until practicum only to have to rush across campus to get to a health class where the instructor says she would rather you show up late than not at all, but she gives you nasty little looks if you walk in late.
Ok that is at least my perception of the situation the last time I entered her class late. No choice on coming late when my other class ran late. Time constraints of the frazzled TA.
Actually, not that frazzled. Totally enjoying teaching. Mom and dad will be home late this evening which means Dave and I can go back to our peaceful existence in our house, sans dog.

Don't know much else except I slipped on the ice this morning and got scalded with my coffee. At least the mug didn't break and no bones broke either.

Hope it is warmer and safer where ever you might be...

The time is short...

Only a few more days till mom and dad come home and resume responsibility for Picasso. He is recovering well. I love him but I need my freedom.

My life now consists of teaching at the ungodly hour of 9am on Mondays and Wednesdays. But I must commute over an hour to get there, which makes it ungodly.

Am still tutoring the Japanese gals and now am also tutoring a boy from Taiwan. And starting next week I will attempt to teach a 9 and 10 year old some Japanese. That ought to be interesting. At least my pronunciation doesn't suck.

Can't wait to get back into our house as we have been living at the farm since the chaos erupted at the beginning of January.

The stress of the last month has been interesting for our relationship. we are really learning alot about each other. And do we both carry alot of excess baggage into this relationship. Too bad there isn't a way to hit delete on all those repressed feelings and emotions.

Also it has been nice and warm here. Yesterday was 53! Today is in the upper 40's. That is almost unheard of for this time of year. Unfortunately, it won't last. They are saying snow tomorrow night and Tuesday (just my luck, the roads will be shitty for driving at 7:30am).

Hope the sun is shining whereever you might be.
