Getting It Together.

If I can pull my life together during the weekdays, I will be able to post more often. Last week...not so much.

I don't think I had ever gone a week with so little consecutive hours of sleep. Not even trying to get the yearbook done (which it is!) made me as sleep-deprived. Getting to bed around 1 only to get up around 5, and then having to chase 3rd graders around all day made me a sleepy girl. Apparently, I was almost sleep-walking on Wednesday night (after going to my 4 and a half hours of Johns Hopkins directly after school and getting home at 10. Jamie found me in the kitchen throwing celery on the ground and wielding a giant knife muttering about making my lunch...at 2am.

Boy howdy did I ever sleep so well this weekend. I also cleaned up the office and am planning to lesson plan all day today and get my homework for JHU done. Mark my words...I will sleep more than four hours a night this week.

Teaching is going pretty well! I still love my kids. I'm definitely coming off firmer than I ever thought I could. I am beginning to worry that I'm just plain mean. However, I did manage to get my class to go to the bathroom, get a drink of water, and reenter the room in a straight line and without making a sound in under 5 minutes. I was timing them with my stopwatch. I am a drill instructor.

I have so many stories to tell. I will get around to tell them...but right now, I must get started on the planning. Updates soon.
