A day in the life...
So my days are definitely different than they used to be.
5:30 am-- alarm clock goes off and I can't figure out what's happening
5:34--shower very very sleepily and slowly because I'm so tired
5:50--look at my watch and think "you've still got forty minutes left". Oddly, this happens every single morning.
6:05--eat a bowl of Special K with red berries while drinking a cup of coffee at the kitchen table. I read about one article from the Free Press and try not to get caught up in it.
6:15--make a lunch to bring to school. Yesterday I decided that I would marry any fairly interesting man who promised to make me an interesting and nutritious lunch every morning for the next year. He could move into the DT with all the roommates. I'm pretty sure that there aren't many people looking for a 22 year old stressball of a wife who doesn't even care for them.
***The next 15 minutes are spent doing random shit which often includes making a burned cd. These cds must include old country songs, a really cheesy rap song, something from the mid-90s and whatever I've been into this summer. I have to pick songs that make me want to sing the entire way to school otherwise I could fall asleep at the wheel.******
6:30-7:15ish--drive to S. Redford, drink coffee, sing songs from my burned cds. Today I particularly rocked out to "You're the Reason Our Kids are Ugly" by Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty. I realize that means that something is terribly wrong with me.
7:15-2:31--try to learn something about the art of teaching. I feel like Nancy Drew solving the great mystery of what it takes to teach. Okay, that's a little dramatic but whatever gets you through the night it's alright, right?
2:31-3:??--get grilled by Jason on what I learned that day. I actually do learn a number of things and it helps to be forced into focusing these thoughts. I feel nervous while on the hot seat though.
4ish--get home and get attacked by Braylon. Or I go to SMAC. Life is so fun!
7ish--start thinking about how much longer until I can respectably go to bed. Set coffee pot timer just in case I fall asleep really really early.
10-11--Feel like an old lady because it's my bedtime but I still fall asleep immediately.
*******rinse and repeat***************************
The good thing is that I really like Thurston and student teaching/observing. I am even adjusting to this crazy schedule. Everyday around 10:30 am I look at the classroom clock and think "I can't believe that I've been awake for 5 hours already!" The bad news is that it's welcome week and Josh was still getting ready to go out last night when I was getting ready for bed.
PS don't forget Rod Allen drinking game on Friday. Plus, the 5th is LP's birthday so there'll be a cake!
