Three day weekends
Three day weekends bore me. I want to get back in my classroom with something new to teach children. I had this instructional specialist come in to assess one of my kids' learning disabilities, and she had some really good ideas. About him and about how I run things in general. I love when people know what they're talking about. Her whole philosophy is that it's natural for people to socialize when they're near each other. So why get them together to tell them that they need to work alone? Better to direct their socializing, which is going to happen anyway. Good idea, just so long as everything else is working really well, or it could be a disaster. It's funny how new ideas about the classroom are like that. One of the reasons new ideas are usually ignored is because they only work when you've got everything else running smoothely. Anyway, I've got this three day weekend, and I went out twice, once for drinks and once to a movie. And I played lots of video games and watched tv and planned for next week and wrote some of this vampire game and caught up with some old friends and blah blah blah blah blah. Went on some blind date where this girl didn't show up for half an hour, so I left. I don't know what I was thinking. She's 25 and lives with her parents. Stupid idea. I'm glad I left. Sarah thinks this is the year that I'm going to find someone that I like a lot. Right. I think this is probably the year that I spend lots of long hours making sure my kids all know how to read and write. I can see how people get married to their jobs. I just need to have a bed and some beer at work and I can sublet my apartment. I'm supposed to run this vampire game, and I have all these ideas, but I can't seem to set a date for it. I don't know if I really want to do it. Hm. We'll see. So I have another day tomorrow. I watched 5 hours of Grey's Anatomy today, but I accidentally got the second season disc three instead of the first season, so it kinda sucked. I think I'm going to go work on my game a little more. Maybe set a date.
