from myspace last night, thought i would share
I literally spent all day in bed today. Around 9PM I went to Walgreens to get a prescription that I needed tonight and some food for dinner. Shortly after I decided that I would indeed call in sick on Monday, an idea I had been toying with since 12 when I woke up and was unable to move because I felt like crap. It will be the first time in my life that I will call in sick and still get paid. (I never called in sick in my other salary jobs). Last year if I got sick and didn't go to work I was out $70.. I will be out $30 for after school, but I think I will live.
So, it's now midnight-ish and I am still playing on my computer and watching TV (as I have been doing all day). I feel bad for missing tomorrow.. My Monday classes are three weeks behind the other days because school started on a Tuesday, then I had to go to a professional development conference two mondays later, and then last week was Columbus Day.. however, I have an important meeting on Tues and feel that I should just sleep and rest tomorrow so I don't get sicker.
I am addicted to my new Nintendo Emulater (thank you Dan!).. I played Dr. Mario ALL day. Now that I am used to the keys I quickly cleared up to level 20. It took me about an hour to get through 20.. but I cannot get close to 21. And if you lose 21 you have to go back to 20 and work your way up again. Last night was poker and I actually came home with half of what I played with! Usually, I leave there at least $20 in the hole. Last night I came in second to last... I only lost $10 the whole night and took home my second buy in! Dan cleaned up and took the other hundred home.
I guess that's all for now.. I kinda hate my job. I don't want to go into work everyday.. th kids are hard, I am running out of things to do.. there are still 8 months to go! Mom says the first year sucks and I am here for a reason and need to start looking for the lesson in all of this. I wish I could just move on to something else, but I will not quit before the year is out. I also think that I would be happier with high school.. you can do a little more with them. I don't like the middle school level.. though I loved it with my practicum. Guess there is a big difference between city and suburban kids.
Watched "An Evening With Kevin Smith" over the weekend. I highly recommend it! It's very funny and makes me want to make movies. I will just add it to the loooong list of things I want to be when I grow up!
