It's about time....
I know I haven't made an entery in a while. I've been so busy, that sometimes I wish there were like 30 hours in a day rather than the 24 that there are now just so I can get some extra sleep or get caught up on some other things that I need to get caught up on.
I have now been out here in Vegas for a month. I still need to switch my car insurance and get my driver's license and plates. If I get pulled over anytime soon, I can get a ticket for not having changed my residency yet. However, I never seem to have time to do it. After school gets over, I go to soccer practice or to a game. Then I go home all tired and need a nap, but usually don't cuz I need dinner and to do lesson planning or grading. Then I get up way too early in the morning to do it all over again. My weekends have been busy lately too. This weekend, I had to go to some new teacher orientation deal. I know I shouldn't complain about this. Because I am going to them, I am getting paid more this year, and will continue to get paid more over the entirety of the time that I teach in the school district here. That doesn't mean I have to like it. I then got home at like 6pm and spent the next 5 hours grading papers.
Last Monday, I was trying to show my starting goalie how you should really take a penalty kick. Yeah, I threw my arm out for a save, and jammed my wrist. My entire wrist is now black and blue, both the outside and underside of it. It's still swollen a week later. I guess that's what I get. The guys are starting to be a bit better and pay attention to me. However, on Friday they failed to do so, and ended up losing pretty bad to a team that absolutely sucked. I think that I am going to be kicking 2 more guys off the team on Monday. They pretty much don't come to practice very often, and on the rules and regulations sheet it says 3 missed practices can result in dismissal from the team. I talked to the varsity coach, and she said I should give them the boot. I will still have plenty of guys on my team. Even when she goes and takes one from me soon. I think she's only looking to take one. I guess I'll find out when it happpens.
Anyway, I gotta go off and do lesson planning. I helped the student teacher in our department out with hers this afternoon. Now I just have to get mine done!
