i'll tell ya what i want what i really really want
What I really want to do right now is to lie down in bed and go to sleep, but I can't. Well auctually after drafting this post out in my head I've decided it's what I'm going to do as soon as I get off the Internet, however here's why I orignally said I couldn't.
When I do go to bed early, I am always awakened by the hubster when he comes to bed. This involves his long drawn out process of changing clothes (he's like Mr. Rodgers, careful and diligent about taking things off, and folding them, etc). Then he gets water, goes to the bathroom, gets the dog settled, talks to the dog, and then turns the TV to some monotone sports channel (I have to have the TV on before I can fall asleep).
Then, of course, lately by the time he comes to bed, I am once again thirsty (pregnancy) and I usually have to pee (pregnancy). So I have to wake up, get out of bed, and troddle down the hall to the bathroom and pee.
Then of course I am once again awake, and spend another hour falling asleep.
I also said I couldn't because I should be studying. But surprisingly I know the material pretty well, plus I always get to campus early and have time to review those last minute details. But I feel like I should take more time. I am a very active studier. Not only do I take notes in class, but I rewrite them. We were given an outline, and I jotted notes on that during lectures. I also read the chapters and wrote my own notes. I spent the time on campus Monday, rewriting my notes, to include tidbits from the outline as well as my notes from the chapter. I also read things out loud (certain things) to make it stick, and if I have the time alone, I'll stand up and deliver my notes like a lecture, as though I am teaching.
Hey spending four years as an education major taught me something. The best learning comes from seeing, hearing, and doing. I do all three.
Anyway, I'd also like to take a quick bath, but picking out my clothes for tomorrow and jumping into bed sounds good right now.
Send me good vibes for my Children's Lit test tomorrow.
Hasta merecoles! (We had an auctual Spanish class last night, and didn't have to fool with those stupid computers).
