I have one night off this week, and this is it. I work volleyball games, have Parent-Teacher Conferences, and aikido testing the rest of the week.

I am slowly feeling better. Work is where it all makes sense. I even woke up this morning with an idea for a creative and fun review activity for my Spanish 2 class. I won't bore the world with the activity here, but I stayed late after work to get it ready, and I am even going to work on it tonight at my computer.

You can put a little effort into teaching or a lot. I know that the days go by much more smoothly when I put more effort into it as opposed to the difficult days when I know I did very little to prepare. Things I don't like about my job: Grading papers and typing. (Ironic that I hate typing since so much of my life is consumed with it.) I wouldn't mind creating tests if it weren't for all the damn typing. I want to copy/paste from other sources! I hate Word tables. The feeling is mutual, since they never want to do what I ask...

Tonight a big orange striped tomcat came to visit me. He was a very friendly guy. He sat with me for a few minutes outside and let me pet his tummy. I went in to get my camera and he was gone. It was nice to get some kitty love!
