Rumblings and Such
Pretty good weekend all things considered. On Friday I went out for drinks with some friends for work, and along the way, might have come up with some plans for the birthday this year (they involve a double decker bus, a keg, and many bars).
Afterwards I went to poker and did really well. I came in second place, mostly due to exhauastion and the fact that I actually felt my brain snap at one point after having been up for over twenty one hours. It's an odd thing to actually feel yourself go momentarily insane, luckily it appears to snap back after a bit.
Saturday was my lazy day. Slept in, did a bit of writing, and took in a double feature of Inside Man & Thank You for Smoking. Followed that up with going out salsa dancing with friends. That's right people, I was salsa dancing. Maybe not well mind you, but at least I gave it an honest effort which should count for something.
Sunday was my productive day. I graded all my papers, went to church, worked out, did some critical analyzation of my writing, and other such mundanities. One of those days you can look back at and say, way to go with me.
Today was kind of interesting at school. I'd say a good quarter of the school did a 9 AM walk out in protest of a new immigration law that was put forth. Of course, a good half of the kids who walked just wanted a free day from school. This was somewhat unfortunate as we had our WASC committe from the state here to appraise our accreditation, but we weren't the only school district to suffer from this, so no real harm done. I actually had the WASC committee come observe me as a featured teacher at one point, but I think it went alright. The observer was certainly complimentary as he left.
Tonight, do a bit more writing and watch me some 24. I need to see Jack torture his ex-girlfriend. Good times.
