Just another day

Not that I'm counting, but I'm ready to get out of town for a bit. I'm getting close to being ready to go, but there's still several things I'd like to have done. I'm still waiting for printing to get back to me. I have plans made, but I still have a test to make for my debate class and some website information to put together. I made a point to get home at a decent hour today since I figured I'd be staying late tomorrow getting everything ready. Our flight is at 9-something on Wednesday.

You know, sometimes I wish that as a teacher I could just teach. It seems that there's always a lot of extra crap we have to deal with. This week our principal has decided that we have to have a syllabus for our classes. We also have to submit a teacher self-report to our evaluators for TEA. On top of lesson plans, parent contacts, mentoring 8 different students, and everything else, it's a miracle that we even have time to teach. I'm lucky in that I have two conference periods in which to get a lot of this done... but even then (along with working through my lunch), I am perpetually behind. I know I should do a lot of things at home, but honestly, I think my time at home should be my time. There are some days that I have no choice like when grades are due and such, but one of the reasons why I never assign homework to my students is because I don't like it much myself. I prefer things that I can grade fairly quickly. (But then I give those lengthy projects that take time to grade.) Oh well.

What's on the agenda this evening? Well, I made dinner of sorts. I didn't care for it much. I've caught up on reading blogs. I need to get back to the store briefly to get some things I missed. I started my laundry that I need done before I can pack. I may sit and crochet a while. I'm thinking I'll get to bed earlier tonight. I only had one coke at lunch today. This evening, I had a sprite. And that's it. Nothing too exciting.

I've been getting lots of compliments on my hair. Sorry I haven't posted a picture. I'll try to get that done one of these days. My friend Carol told me church this weekend that I shouldn't ever grow it out again. One of the assistant principals today complimented me today saying that it made my face look thinner. That's one of the things that I was hoping for. Josh is recording the show Heroes again tonight. I watched it last week and I didn't get it at all. Well, I should get to the store before it gets too late.
